Delivery services for consolidated cargo from 50 kg originating from countries in the Asia-Pacific region and Europe

At our company, we prioritize selecting the most efficient and cost-effective route based on the type of transportation and delivery method. Our goal is to ensure your cargo arrives within the required timeframe and at a competitive price.

For example, if you need to transport cargo from Shanghai to Moscow in 25 days, we can offer a direct railway option that typically takes 16-18 days on the train, plus 3-5 days to remove the container and 1-2 days for customs clearance. This averages out to a total of 25 days.

Alternatively, if you require delivery in a shorter timeframe of 3-5 days from China to Moscow, we can provide air transportation. Your cargo will be loaded onto a passenger plane and flown directly to Moscow, arriving on the same day.

The responsibility for the safety of your cargo during transportation varies depending on the Incoterms agreed upon. In some cases, the sender may bear responsibility for the cargo while in China, while the carrier company (in our case, Us) assumes responsibility for transportation within Russia. Our company's responsibility is outlined in the contract and is in accordance with the laws of the Russian Federation.

Incoterms are international shipping rules that determine the responsibilities of the parties involved at different stages of transportation.

For instance, under FOB terms, the supplier is fully responsible for the cargo in China, while we assume responsibility upon arrival in Russia, unless otherwise specified by the contract or delivery terms.

However, if you prefer that our company assumes full responsibility for the cargo, EXW terms would be more suitable. In this case, you (as the recipient) would be fully responsible for the cargo, but our company would work on your behalf to pick up the cargo from your supplier, handle customs clearance, and transport the cargo to Russia. We would also handle customs clearance upon arrival in Russia and deliver the cargo to your warehouse. Essentially, our company would be responsible for the safety of your cargo at all stages of transportation.

It's important to note that the terms of Incoterms are outlined in the sales contract between the buyer and seller

When shipping your cargo to Russia, we offer a comprehensive range of services that includes collecting and loading the cargo from the supplier's facility, handling customs clearance, paying all terminal costs, and loading the container onto the ship.

Our extensive network of representatives and agents in all Asian countries enables us to address any concerns you may have and provide a seamless experience throughout the shipping process.

Yes, we do ship small consignments. Our company handles small consignments weighing as little as 30 kg, and we offer several modes of transportation for such cargo, including direct railway from China to Russia, shipping by sea, and air freight. Our team of experts will work with you to determine the most optimal route based on your specific needs and requirements.

Multimodal transportation is typically done using standard 20 and 40HC containers.
To start the process, our agent reaches out to the sender to confirm the date of readiness and loading or transfer of the cargo. Afterward, the cargo is loaded into the containers at the agreed location and undergoes customs clearance and payment of any necessary expenses. The cargo is then transported by car to the seaport, where it is loaded onto a ship bound for the port of the Russian Federation.
Upon arrival at the port, the container goes through customs clearance and is placed on special railway platforms for delivery to the agreed-upon station. From there, the container is reloaded onto a container ship and sent to the destination address provided by the client for unloading.

This is the typical process for multimodal transportation of goods, and different types of transport may be used in various combinations to ensure a seamless delivery process.

To calculate the cost of multimodal transportation, we will need specific information such as:
• The origin and destination of the goods, including the specific cities involved.
• The agreed Incoterms for the transfer of cargo from the sender to the recipient.
• The type of cargo, including its weight and volume.
• Whether there are any heavy items in the cargo over 1.5 tons per piece.
• Whether the cargo contains any dangerous goods.

The desired transit time, as there is a direct correlation between the length of transit and the cost of transportation.

When calculating the transportation cost, we provide our clients with a breakdown of all the standard transportation costs that are incurred in 100% of cases.
Additional costs may arise from time to time due to circumstances beyond the control of forwarders. As such, it is incorrect to include them in advance in the cost of transportation. Instead, we inform our clients of any additional costs after they occur.

The most common types of additional expenses include:

• Costs that were not agreed upon in advance on the import side. In some cases, the sender, terminal, or line may impose additional costs on the foreign part of the route that were not previously discussed. These costs are pre-agreed with the client, who decides which party will pay them.
• Terminal costs in the port for carrying out procedures prescribed by the customs authorities, such as IDK, customs inspection, weighing the container, and radiation control.
• Storage at the port terminal. Due to various circumstances, a container may stay in the port for a long time until it is shipped to the railway. The port provides free time for storing the container, but if this time is up, then a demurrage fee is charged for each additional day of downtime.
• Storage at the arrival station. If the container arrives at the client's destination station but is not taken out for some reason, expenses are charged for its storage.
• Excessive use of the container. Container equipment belongs to the owner, often the line that carries out the sea part of the transportation. The line provides time for the use of the container after it is unloaded at the port of destination and until the container is returned back to the owner’s warehouse. If the forwarder fails to return the container to the owner within the agreed-upon time, then the line exposes charges for excess use.
• Idle time of a container during unloading. A normalized time is provided for unloading a container, and if it is exceeded, additional costs are charged.

Almost all additional costs are billed upon occurrence and are not included in the cost of transportation in advance.

Your personal manager can provide you with information about the cost of additional expenses

Your personal manager will keep you informed throughout the transportation process, providing you with updates on the vessel name, container number, and bill of lading number. You can track your cargo at any time on your own or by requesting updates from your manager. Additionally, for your convenience, we will send you daily messages with the latest information on the movement of your cargo from the time of booking until it's delivered to the destination.

The table below provides information on the weight limits for different container types, including their "real capacity" which is the actual amount of cargo that can be loaded. Please review this information carefully to ensure that your cargo can be safely and efficiently transported in the selected container.
