We recount the places, open random positions for checking for defects, make a photo report, measure the actual dimensions, and strengthen the packaging (crating, corners, palletizing).
Cargo delivery for groupage shipments

LCL shipping (Less than Container Load) is the opportunity to bring a commercial batch of goods without paying for the freight of a whole container or vehicle. You pay only for the volume that your cargo occupies.
TransGID organizes regular shipments of consolidated cargo from China, Southeast Asia, the UAE, India, Europe, Turkey, and the CIS countries. We consolidate cargo from different senders in our warehouses, form a single container or truck, and send the shipment to Russia.
This type of delivery is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, trading companies, and marketplace sellers. We accept shipments of any weight with official customs clearance. For urgent tasks and sample transportation, we organize air delivery.
From which countries do we deliver consolidated cargo (LCL)
Our network of consolidation warehouses covers the main export hubs in Eurasia. We pick up cargo from the supplier at any point in the country of origin.
China and Southeast Asia
The speed of shipment depends on how quickly the vehicle is filled. Our terminals in different industrial zones of China allow us to send cargo every week, and if necessary, every day.

- Ningbo (consumer goods from Futian markets), Shanghai (commercial cargo, chemicals).

Types of transport and delivery times for consolidated cargo
We offer logistics solutions for different tasks and budgets:

Arrival in Moscow, Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, or any international airport in Russia with a customs post. Term: 1-3 days.
Comprehensive fulfillment for marketplace suppliers
It is important for sellers that the goods get to the shelf quickly and without violating the rules of the site. We have launched a full range of cargo preparation for marketplaces, including new sites in Yekaterinburg and Kazan.
How it works:
- We select the right product in China (or any other country) and pick it up from the factory.
- We deliver the cargo to the terminal closest to the producer.
- We carry out official customs clearance and issue a declaration.
- After arriving in the Russian Federation, the cargo goes to our warehouse, where we carry out fulfillment: we apply the mandatory marking «Fair Sign», glue barcodes, and form boxes according to the standards of the marketplace.
- We deliver the finished batch directly to the marketplace warehouse.
We will help you switch from cargo to white delivery in 1 day
Many entrepreneurs are used to shipping small batches through Cargo - an informal scheme without documents. The risks of this approach include account blocking under Federal Law 115, the inability to legally sell goods on marketplaces, and the lack of legal guarantees for сохранности.
TransGID offers white delivery with a full package of documents:
- Official customs clearance. You receive a declaration number (DT) on hand, which is necessary for accounting reports and uploading to platform cabinets.
- VAT handling. We accept payment by bank transfer with VAT, which allows you to legally reduce the taxable base.
- Direct contracts. We help conclude a foreign currency contract with the supplier or act as an FEA agent. We select a factory to meet your technical requirements.
- Switching to a white scheme does not mean a sharp increase in logistics costs. Due to the competent selection of FEA codes and the absence of hidden commissions, the cost of official delivery is comparable to Cargo rates, but eliminates the risk of batch confiscation.
Comparison of cargo and white delivery
Parameter | Parameter Cargo (Gray delivery) | White delivery with TransGID |
|---|---|---|
Documents | No (or fake invoices) | Official declaration (DT), TORG-12, UPD |
Payment | Cash or cryptocurrency | Bank transfer from a settlement account |
VAT | Cannot be deducted | Input VAT deduction (savings up to 22%) |
Risk of confiscation | High (the goods are not legally yours) | Zero (the goods belong to you by law) |
Marking | Stick yourself in the RF (risk of fines) | Codes «Fair mark» are applied at the warehouse in the sending country |
We have prepared for you a detailed presentation that collects everything you need to know to switch from cargo to white delivery.
Estimated rates for consolidated cargo
The cost depends on:
- The amount of cargo - volume in m3 or gross weight. The more cargo in one batch, the lower the price per cubic meter or ton.
- Terms of delivery: FOB, EXW, FCA.
- Route and mode of transport.
Approximate rates:
- road – from $1 per kg
- Rail – from $0.5 per kg
- Sea – from $1 per kg
- Air – from $1 per kg
Warehouse services: acceptance, recount and storage up to 7 days – free of charge when ordering transportation.
What is the minimum weight of cargo?
We take on absolutely any volumes. We work only with legal entities.
How do you calculate the cost: by weight or volume?
The rate for LCL transportation depends on density. If the cargo is light and bulky (down jackets, plastic), the calculation is made per cubic meter. If the goods are heavy (metal fasteners, machines), it is calculated per kilogram. We always make the calculation in the most profitable way for the client within the tariff.
Do you pick up the cargo from the supplier?
Yes, we contact the factory, organize the collection of goods from any city and deliver it to our nearest terminal.
What documents are needed for the calculation?
To get the exact cost of transportation, send our logistician a packing list (weight, dimensions of the boxes, number of pieces), an invoice (cost and description of the products), delivery terms, and the desired route.
