We serve Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Mongolia and other regions. Transit times above are reference values and are confirmed per batch when we book the shipment.
No minimum order value. Small orders are held free of charge at our Xi’an consolidation point for up to 30 days and shipped with the next weekly consolidation batch. Need it faster? Express / air ships immediately, freight at your cost.
Default term is DAP: we handle domestic consolidation, inspection, export declaration and international transport to your destination; the buyer handles import clearance, duty and VAT. DDP (clearance included) is available on request with a separate quote. These are confirmed in the contract and Proforma Invoice.
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Import duty | Typically 5–15% for machinery parts, confirmed by HS code. |
| Import VAT (Russia) | 22% — raised from 20% on 1 January 2026 (Federal Law 425-ФЗ). |
| Customs broker fee | Varies with volume and commodity complexity. |
| SPOT system (Russia) | From 1 June 2026: Russian importers must pre-pay a VAT / excise security deposit and clear goods against a tax QR code. We prepare the documents to match this requirement. |
We declare commercial value accurately. Russian customs has tightened under-value checks significantly since 2026 — under-declaring puts your shipment, not our margin, at risk.
