Organizing export transportation on your own means dozens of approvals: customs, certificates, choosing transport, finding an agent abroad. A mistake at any stage means cargo delays and fines, and given current export restrictions and tightened customs control, the cost of such a mistake has grown even higher. For over 10 years, WestComTrans has taken on the entire process: from cost calculation and cargo pickup at the warehouse to customs clearance and delivery to the recipient anywhere in the world. We operate as a single operator — no chain of subcontractors, one point of accountability, and a fixed price at every stage. We ship by sea, rail, road, and air, combining transport modes for the best price and timeline.
What’s Included in Turnkey Export Transportation Services
Export transportation isn’t just about moving cargo — it’s a complete cycle of actions that removes the entire operational burden from the shipper:
- Cost and route calculation — we select the optimal delivery scheme based on cargo type, destination, and budget.
- Cargo pickup from the sender’s warehouse — in any city in Russia.
- Packaging and labeling — in compliance with the destination country’s requirements.
- Preparation of the export declaration and accompanying documents.
- Delivery to the port, railway station, or border crossing.
- Customs clearance upon departure from Russia.
- International transportation and delivery to the recipient’s warehouse — door-to-door.
Working with a single operator at every stage eliminates inconsistencies between different contractors and keeps responsibility for the cargo clearly defined.
Types of Transport for Export Shipments
The choice of transport directly affects cost and delivery time. We select the optimal combination for your specific cargo and destination.
| Transport Type | Estimated Time | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Sea | 25–50 days | Large shipments, containerized cargo, low cost per unit of weight |
| Rail | 15–30 days | China, Central Asian countries, large-capacity containers |
| Road | 5–12 days | CIS countries, nearby destinations, door-to-door delivery |
| Air | 1–5 days | Urgent cargo, product samples, small volumes |
| Multimodal | depends on the combination | Cost and time optimization through combining transport types |
Sea Freight
We ship containerized cargo through the ports of Novorossiysk, St. Petersburg, and Vladivostok. We work with DC containers (standard), HC (high cube), Reefer (refrigerated, for temperature-controlled cargo), Open Top (for oversized cargo), and Flat Rack (for heavy and oversized equipment).
Rail Freight
Direct container trains and shipments via overland border crossings — the optimal option for exports to China and Central Asian countries in terms of price-to-delivery-time ratio.
Road Freight
We pick up cargo from the warehouse and deliver it directly to the recipient’s door with no intermediate transshipment. Convenient for CIS destinations and countries bordering Russia.
Air Freight
We use air freight when time is critical: urgent shipments, product samples for test deliveries, perishable and high-value cargo.
Multimodal Transportation
We combine transport types on a single route — for example, trucking to the port + ocean freight + final delivery by road to the recipient’s warehouse. This reduces the total cost and shortens delivery time by eliminating downtime during transshipment.
Export Destinations from Russia
We organize exports across all key foreign trade destinations:
- Middle East — Turkey, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman
- Southeast Asia — Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore
- East Asia — China, Korea
- South Asia — India
- North Africa — Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia
- CIS and the Caucasus — Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Azerbaijan
- Europe — direct deliveries are restricted by current sanctions for most product categories; shipping is arranged through transit hubs (Turkey, UAE, EAEU countries) with a route feasibility check for the specific product
For each destination, we select a route based on the current transport situation, available border crossings, and transshipment ports. Product classification requirements and export control regulations change regularly, so we verify route relevance and any HS code restrictions during the consultation stage.
Export Customs Clearance: Documents and Key Details
Customs clearance is WestComTrans’s core specialization. We handle this stage in full, but for a clear understanding of the process, here is a basic list of documents by cargo category:
| Cargo Category | Required Document |
|---|---|
| Any export cargo | Export declaration, invoice, packing list |
| Goods requiring proof of origin | Certificate of origin (Form CT-1 or general form) |
| Agricultural products | Phytosanitary certificate |
| Products of animal origin | Veterinary certificate |
| Dual-use goods | FSTEC opinion and license |
| Dangerous goods | Safety data sheet, permit for transporting dangerous goods |
| Cultural property | Ministry of Culture opinion |
We pay special attention to dual-use goods: if the HS code and technical specifications fall under control lists, an FSTEC of Russia opinion or license will be required for export — license processing can take up to 45 days, so we check whether the product falls under controlled goods in advance, before filing the declaration. We also take into account that as of February 1, 2026, certain HS codes lost their legal validity — using an outdated code results in declaration rejection and fines, so we always verify classification against the current reference directory.
We take on the preparation and submission of the entire document package ourselves — the client doesn’t need to navigate the requirements of the EAEU Customs Code and specialized agencies on their own.

“Most often, clients don’t come to us for transportation — they come for peace of mind, for those moments when the cargo is already in transit and suddenly the wrong HS code turns up at customs, or a document is missing. Our job is to remove that anxiety from the very start: we check the goods against control lists, select the route, and secure all permits before shipment, so there are no surprises at the border. That’s exactly why clients come back to us for repeat shipments — they go through the full cycle with us once, and after that they realize they can simply send in a request.” – Alexander Morozov, Logistics Specialist at WestComTrans

REVIEW
Ответы на частые вопросы
The basic package includes an export declaration, invoice, and packing list. Certain cargo categories additionally require a certificate of origin, phytosanitary or veterinary certificate, or licenses. The full list depends on the type of goods — we determine this during the consultation stage.
Rail delivery to China takes approximately 15–30 days, and sea freight to the Middle East takes 25–35 days. Deliveries to EU countries go through transit hubs, so the timeframe is calculated individually per route. The exact time depends on the destination, transport type, and current workload at the departure port.
Yes, we arrange shipping for hazardous cargo with the required permit documentation, and for oversized cargo with the appropriate transport type — such as Open Top or Flat Rack containers.
Licensing is required for certain categories: dual-use goods, military products, and intellectual property items. We check whether a license is needed when processing your request.
For exports, customs pays less attention to cargo value and more attention to whether accompanying documents match the type of product (veterinary and phytosanitary documents, permits from specialized agencies).
Direct deliveries to a number of countries are restricted, HS code classification requirements are becoming stricter, and settlements for certain destinations require additional verification of counterparties and banks. We check goods against control lists in advance, select an approved route — including through transit countries — and secure the necessary permits to prevent delays or rejection at the border.
