North and South America remain important sources of industrial equipment, electronic components, auto parts, raw materials, and food products for Russian business.
At the same time, logistics in this direction differs significantly from transportation from Asia: vast distances, ocean routes, transshipment in international hubs, and the specifics of international settlements require thorough preparation of each shipment.
TransGID organizes turnkey cargo delivery from the countries of the Americas. We handle international transportation, customs clearance, foreign trade transaction support, supplier payment arrangements, and cargo delivery to the consignee's warehouse in Russia.
Main Delivery Routes
Transoceanic logistics requires the use of multimodal transportation schemes.
Sea Freight
The primary method for delivering commercial cargo. Depending on the product type and destination region, various international routes with transshipment at major logistics hubs are used.
Transit time depends on the country of origin and the selected route.
- Ports of departure:
- The largest ports of the USA, Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina, including New York, Los Angeles, Houston, Veracruz, Santos, and Buenos Aires.
- Scheme:
- By sea with transshipment at a major logistics hub →
- arrival at a Russian port →
- by rail or road to the consignee's warehouse.
- Average transit time:
- 45–60 days.
Air Freight
Used for urgent deliveries of equipment, electronic components, spare parts, and product samples.
- Average transit time:
- 7–10 days.
What Russian Business Imports from the Americas
North and South America supply different categories of products, so the approach to logistics depends on the country of origin of the cargo.
For each product category, TransGID specialists verify in advance the requirements for transportation, certification, customs clearance, and international settlements.
USA and Mexico
Russian companies purchase industrial equipment, production lines, server equipment, electronics, measuring instruments, automotive components, industrial parts, and specialty chemicals.
Brazil
Russia receives coffee, chemical raw materials, industrial equipment, agricultural products, and various categories of goods for further processing.
Argentina
Remains an important supplier of food raw materials, ingredients for the food industry, and certain types of industrial products.
Americas vs. Asia: How Shipments Differ
When delivering cargo from China or Southeast Asian countries, a container usually follows a relatively direct route. With shipments from the Americas, the situation is more complex.
Problem: Several Transportation Stages
Most transportations involve several stages: ocean freight, transshipment at an international logistics hub, onward delivery to a Russian port, and subsequent forwarding by rail or road transport.
Solution: Control at Every Stage
Therefore, proper documentation, route monitoring at every stage of transportation, and having contingency logistics solutions are particularly important here. These are precisely the tasks that TransGID takes upon itself.
Why Companies Choose TransGID
Financial Logistics and Purchasing of Goods
We arrange international settlements with suppliers and, if necessary, take on the purchasing of goods under an agency scheme. The client works with a Russian legal entity and receives a complete set of documents for accounting and tax reporting.
International Transit Routes
We use proven logistics chains via international transport hubs, which ensures stable supplies even for complex product categories.
Customs Representative License
TransGID handles customs clearance in-house without engaging third-party brokers. Our specialists select HS codes, verify documents, and submit declarations under the company seal.
Official Delivery
We operate only within the framework of official foreign economic activity. Clients receive legally cleared cargo with a complete set of documents for subsequent sale in Russia.
Shipment Size: From a Box to a Container
The transportation format depends on the purchase volume: groupage cargo or a dedicated container.
Groupage Cargo (LCL)
Most clients purchase from the USA, Mexico, or Brazil not a full container, but several pallets of equipment, electronics, components, or product samples. In such a case, paying for an entire container is economically unfeasible.
- How we arrange it:
- We consolidate cargo at partner warehouses, inspect packaging, labeling, and documents, and then ship the goods in a single consignment together with cargo from other clients.
- Payment:
- The client pays only for the volume actually occupied.
- Especially popular:
- When purchasing industrial electronics, spare parts, equipment, test batches of new products, and goods for marketplaces.
Container Shipping (FCL)
Dedicated containers are used for large shipments.
- How we arrange it:
- The container is loaded directly at the supplier's facility and follows an agreed route to Russia.
- Benefit:
- The minimum number of transshipments reduces the risk of cargo damage and allows delivery times to be controlled at every stage of transportation.
- Containers:
- 20-foot containers are typically used for heavy equipment, metal, and industrial raw materials; for bulky consignments, 40-foot containers and High Cube containers are used.

- Check supplier documents.
- Select HS codes.
