Shipping from China to Russia
Russia is a market where capability matters more than price: payment routes and carrier acceptance change at short notice, so a lane that works today may not work next month.
Transit, before the marketing
Anyone quoting a fixed day count for every parcel is quoting an average and hoping you do not notice.
Why no local warehouse here
We hold stock in Shenzhen, not in this market, and for most brands that is the right setup: the freight and handling saving of direct shipping beats the delivery-speed gain of a local facility until volumes are substantial.
What decides the outcome in Russia
Import tax and who pays
Russian import duty and VAT apply on entry, with a low-value regime that has been adjusted repeatedly.
What catches sellers out
We will tell you plainly whether a route is open at the time you ship rather than quoting from an older rate card. Payment and carrier acceptance are the two variables to watch.
Labelling
undefined
What we do before it leaves Shenzhen
- Unit-level count and condition check against your packing list
- Photographs of anything that does not match, the same day
- Weighing on calibrated scales, volumetric weight included
- Labelling to the requirement of the onward leg
- Tracking pushed back to your storefront
What we will not promise
- A fixed delivery date for every parcel
- Customs clearance without accurate declarations
- A duty figure — that is for the destination customs authority to assess
- A local returns address we do not have
