Barter trade is most afraid of "goods arriving with no way out," and VTB's solution perfectly addresses this pain point:
Contract signing requires expertise:

- Quota automatically released after Russian partys goods receipt confirmation
- Differential amount settled T+1 (OUR mode fastest 2-hour arrival)
Golden rule: Keep goods value differential within 20%! Excess amounts should use cross-border RMB settlement to avoid SAFE audits.
