Transportation Directions
WestComTrans organizes poultry meat exports from Russia on a fully turnkey basis — from bringing a refrigerated container to the poultry plant to handing the cargo over to the buyer at the destination port. We act as a single transportation operator: we prepare veterinary documents, HS codes, registration in the “Mercury” system, and the customs declaration ourselves, and provide delivery by sea, road, rail, and multimodal routes to China, the Gulf countries, Africa, and Southeast Asia.

| Saudi Arabia | The second-largest market, with rapidly growing shipments — by sea from Novorossiysk |
| Kazakhstan | The third-largest market — by road or rail |
| UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman | A growing destination in the Gulf region — by sea from Novorossiysk |

Shipping Regions
The bulk of chicken production for export originates in southern Russia — in Krasnodar Krai, Rostov Oblast, and Stavropol Krai. The nearest sea hub for these regions is the port of Novorossiysk, where WestComTrans has its own port forwarding operations: cargo receiving, documentation, and vessel loading with no unnecessary intermediaries.
Transport Types and Temperature Control
- 20- and 40-foot refrigerated containers maintaining the specified temperature throughout the journey: around −18°C for frozen product, 0…+4°C for chilled
- Sea lines — the primary method for long-distance destinations (Asia, the Middle East, Africa)
- Refrigerated trucks — for nearby destinations where sea transport would be excessive in transit time
- Multimodal routes — a combination of road, sea, and rail when production is located far from the port: this way, cargo doesn’t have to wait on a single transport type, and the overall delivery time and cost are reduced
Customs Clearance and Permit Documentation
- HS code classification: poultry meat and by-products fall under heading 0207 in Group 02; the exact ten-digit code depends on the bird species, cut type (whole carcass, leg quarters, fillet, by-products), and processing method
- Veterinary certificate and mandatory shipment registration in Rosselkhoznadzor’s “Mercury” system. As of July 2026, the system has expanded the list of required data for poultry meat certificates — the specific carcass part or by-product type must be precisely indicated; export certificates for EAEU countries are issued through the “Mercury.GVE” subsystem
- Compliance verification against technical regulations under CU TR 034/2013 “On the Safety of Meat and Meat Products,” and, where applicable, CU TR 021/2011 and CU TR 022/2011
- Preparation of the export declaration and calculation of mandatory payments
WestComTrans holds customs representative status — meaning we take on not only document preparation but also joint liability with the customs authority for the information submitted. You don’t need to maintain an in-house foreign trade specialist or engage a separate brokerage firm.

“Poultry meat is cargo that doesn’t forgive delays: a single day held up at customs can spoil an entire shipment. That’s why we handle these shipments ourselves, from bringing the refrigerated container to the poultry plant all the way to the vessel’s arrival at the destination port — with no handoffs to subcontractors — and the client works with the same manager at every stage.” – Alexander Morozov, Logistics Specialist at WestComTrans
