China is the primary trading partner of Russian business. Stable supplies require logistics that takes into account transit times, costs, and the specifics of customs regulations. A mistake in route selection or the FEA code can lead to delays at the border and additional expenses.

TransGID organizes cargo delivery from China via official routes with a complete set of documents. We specialize in commercial shipments for legal entities: from groupage cargo to container trains. We pick up goods in any province of the PRC (Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Ningbo, Shanghai, etc.) and deliver them to the consignee's warehouse in the Russian Federation.

Delivery Routes and Methods from China

The choice of route depends on the destination and required transit times. We use 5 key logistics channels.

Via the Far East — Multimodal Transportation

One of the most popular routes for cargo delivery to most regions of Russia.

Scheme:
  1. By sea from Chinese ports to the ports of Vladivostok or Vostochny (Nakhodka) →
  2. rail delivery or trucking across Russia.
Customs:
Clearance takes place at the Vladivostok Electronic Declaration Center (EDC) or directly at the port of arrival.
Transit time:
35–45 days.

Direct Rail and Road — Land Border Crossings

A fast overland route bypassing the sea leg. Suitable for shipments from the northern and central provinces of the PRC.

Zabaikalsk / Manzhouli border crossing:
The main gateway for rail and road freight. Delivery via Zabaikalsk allows transloading the container onto broad-gauge track and dispatching it by accelerated train to Moscow (Vorsino, Selyatino, Khovrino).
Via Kazakhstan (Dostyk / Alashankou and Altynkol / Khorgos):
A transit route for delivery to the Volga Region and the Southern Urals.
Road border crossings:
We use the Pogranichny (Suifenhe) and Kraskino checkpoints for fast trucking delivery.

Air Freight — Urgent Cargo

The fastest way to receive goods. Ideal for samples, high-value electronics, and spare parts when production downtime costs more than logistics. TransGID is accredited by IATA, so we offer competitive rates without intermediaries.

Departure airports:
Beijing (PEK), Shanghai (PVG), Guangzhou (CAN), Hong Kong (HKG).
Arrival:
Moscow (Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo), Novosibirsk (Tolmachevo), Krasnoyarsk.
Transit time:
1–3 days

Via the Port of Novorossiysk — Deep Sea

A route via southern seas and the Suez Canal.

Scheme:
Direct sea freight from China to the port of Novorossiysk. Then – trucking across Southern Russia or rail freight to the central regions.
Advantages:
Allows bypassing the congested Eastern Operating Domain of Russian Railways. Cost-effective for consignees in Krasnodar Krai, Rostov-on-Don, and Stavropol Krai.

Via Saint Petersburg — Deep Sea

Sea delivery via the Baltic Sea.

Scheme:
The vessel calls at the ports of Bronka, FCT, or CTSP.
Who benefits:
Companies from the Northwestern region (St. Petersburg, Leningrad Region, Karelia) looking to eliminate expensive rail delivery across the whole of Russia.

Types of Loading and Containers

We select equipment tailored to the specifics of your cargo.

Container Shipping (FCL)

We supply an empty container to the supplier's factory. We use 20-foot containers (for heavy cargo: metal hardware, stone, machine tools) and 40-foot containers (High Cube – for high-volume goods: clothing, furniture, electronics). The seal is affixed by the shipper and removed only by you.

Groupage Cargo from China (LCL)

For shipments from 100 kg to 10 pallets, we offer consolidation. We collect cargo at warehouses in Shenzhen, Ningbo, Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Qingdao. You only pay for the space occupied in the truck or container.

Special and Project Cargo

In addition to standard goods, we handle complex cargo:

Oversized Cargo

Transportation of production lines, specialized machinery, and equipment on flatcars and low-bed trailers. We obtain special permits across China and the Russian Federation.

Dangerous Goods

We accept chemicals, batteries, and paints. We handle hazard classes 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9. We check safety data sheets (MSDS) and documents for compliance with the requirements of carriers and customs authorities.

Refrigerated Transportation

Delivery of food products and chemicals in reefer containers with 24/7 temperature control throughout the entire route.

Customs Clearance and FEA

TransGID is a licensed customs representative. We carry out a full range of cargo clearance procedures:

  • FEA code classification.
  • Calculation of customs duties and taxes.
  • Filing declarations with EDCs (Electronic Declaration Centers) in Vladivostok, Moscow, Novorossiysk, or Saint Petersburg.
  • Issuing certificates of conformity and declarations of conformity.
  • Providing financial logistics services: supplier sourcing, goods procurement in China, and payment to counterparties in yuan.

Frequently asked questions

Which is Cheaper: Sea or Rail?

Sea delivery via the Far East or Novorossiysk is usually cheaper than direct rail transportation, but takes longer (45–55 days versus 25–30 days by rail). If transit times permit, ocean freight will help reduce your procurement budget.

Do You Ship via Kazakhstan?

Yes, we use transit via Kazakhstan (Dostyk and Altynkol border crossings). This is a reliable backup route for rail and road delivery during congestion at checkpoints on the Russia–China border.

How Quickly is a Declaration Released?

With properly prepared documents, customs release takes from 4 hours to 1 business day. We check invoices and contracts in advance, before the cargo arrives at the border.

Do You Transport Cargo from Hong Kong?

Yes, we deliver cargo from Hong Kong and Taiwan by both air and sea. Payment and documentation procedures for these regions are well-established.
