The purpose of the work is to study the features of foreign trade operations for parallel imports in the context of sanctions pressure on Russia. The article discusses the concept, legal features and dynamics of parallel imports as a form of foreign economic activity in Russia in modern conditions. The analysis of the main problems arising in the implementation of parallel import operations is carried out, the main logistics routes and types of international settlements for parallel imports are evaluated. It is concluded that under the pressure on the Russian financial system, the traditionally used channels of interbank settlements in reserve currencies — the US dollar and euro — have lost their reliability, so there is an urgent need to apply new international settlement mechanisms, the most promising of which may be settlements in national currencies, and in the future — settlements in national currencies. digital currencies of central banks.
