**Objective**: Clarify customer needs,identify compliance risks in advance,and avoid rework in subsequent steps.

**Key Actions**: Confirm with customer fabric category (cotton,linen,chemical fiber,etc.),HS code,quantity,packaging requirements; pre-audit the latest Russian import compliance requirements for fabrics (such as the new environmental certification requirements added in 2026); match customs clearance agency resources at Russian destination ports.
