One of today's reports, which are catapulted through the media and which can actually leave one's hair to rest, is freely quoted as saying that "AFOX, amD and Nvidia's on-board partners, would have reported a whole series of new models of Geforces and Radeons to the EEC," detailing entries for a speculative "Radeon RX 5950XT, Radeon RX 5950 , Radeon RX 5900, Radeon RX 5800 XT…" Goes. But this news, which once again serves all common clichés and makes the respective fanboys jump hyperventilatingly, is on closer inspection at the moment nothing more than click-bait.
So firstly, AFOX is not a board partner, i.e. neither amD nor Nvidia, and secondly, the manufacturers do not report anything to the EEC itself. The Eurasian Economic Commission is a single market with a customs union in northeastern Eurasia, but, like the EU, it operates a central register of all possible goods that must be declared before (possible) import. This is done by the trader or Importer. And it was precisely this that was the originator of this "information", not AFOX.
The entries in this database are also subject to a proper bureaucracy, which is surprising to anyone, and they also cost money per form. So what is more obvious about having everything that might come in at some point, prophylactically, be entered once a year? Many of the entries in this database also refer to products that have never been produced. Preliminary work with space saves effort and of course also time as well as fees. The register entry below can also be viewed here in full on the website of the EEC Register.
The trigger for all the "news" is none other than a Russian dealer, i.e. one of the importers of AFOX products to Russia, who has simply done everything in one effort. Since I am the MANAGING Director of AFOX. Alex Kung, who has known him very well for years, was no problem to ask him directly about this story today. I would like to quote his opinion on this subject:
"I did not expect that our Russian partner already listed (this) to their customs for import … We did not produce them … but our Russian partner listed to Russian customs, for future import… The problem is, we cannot delete this entry from the Russian customs website immediately, we can only apply for changes, and these changes can be done only within 3 weeks and changes should be made by our Russian distributor. And this has been made by our Russian partner, not by us"
It is also quite annoying that such unaudited reports can inadvertently get manufacturers into trouble, who then have to answer for entries in Russian lists at AMD that they have never made or commissioned. As an independent provider of graphics cards, memory and SSDs, the troupe is quite sympathetic 🙂
