Railway transportation from China and Russian ports

Railway container transportation allows you to deliver cargo from China to central Russia in 18–25 days without overpaying for air transport. This format is suitable for equipment, electronics, components, goods for marketplaces and commercial consignments, for which sea delivery is too long.

TransGID organizes transportation by accelerated container trains from China, as well as the export of containers by rail from the ports of Vladivostok, Nakhodka, Novorossiysk and St. Petersburg. Our priority is the safety of the cargo. That's why we use fitting platforms. This eliminates the need to reload goods into gondola cars, reduces the risk of damage during sorting and speeds up terminal processing. We also issue documents and monitor the movement of cargo to the destination station.

For those who are not ready to wait 45–50 days for cargo by sea, we offer an alternative: a direct train from China delivers goods to central Russia in 18–25 days.

TransGID organizes railway delivery from China through border crossings:

• Zabaikalsk / Manchuria – the main land route
• Naushki / Zamyun-Uud – transit through Mongolia
• Dostyk / Altinkol – transit through Kazakhstan

Thanks to direct agreements with platform operators, we guarantee the availability of seats even during peak seasons.

If your cargo has arrived by sea in Vladivostok or Nakhodka, we will organize its further shipment by rail. Routes from Vladivostok to Moscow, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, Irkutsk and Kazan are the most popular.

We provide a full delivery cycle:

1. Removal of the container from the port (VMTP, VSK, VMKT, VMPP) to the railway station.
2. Registration of VTT (internal customs transit) if the cargo has not been customs cleared.
3. Payment of railway tariff and provision of a platform.
4. Sending to the regions – we organize railway transportation from the ports of the Far East, as well as Novorossiysk and St. Petersburg.

We work with all freight stations. Depending on the recipient's final warehouse, we will select the station with the minimum rate for road haulage:

• Moscow node: Vorsino, Selyatino, Bely Rast, Elektrougli, Khovrino, Silikatnaya, Kupavna.
• Saint Petersburg: Shushary, Avtovo.
• Regions: Kleshikha (Novosibirsk), Blokova (Perm), Koltsovo (Yekaterinburg) and others.

Choosing the right station saves up to 15% of the budget for last-mile delivery. We will tell you where deregistration is cheaper now and it's easier for trucks to get in.

Many freight forwarders use gondola cars (coal cars) to save money. It's cheaper, but risky: the container can be damaged during crane operations, as the fastening on them is less reliable.

That's why we choose:

• Safety. The container is rigidly fixed with fittings (locks). It does not shift during train maneuvers.
• Speed. There is no need to waste time on complex slinging at the terminal.
• Versatility. We carry standard 20- and 40-foot containers. Long-base fitment platforms of 80 feet are available for transporting two «forties» at once.

The calculation of railway transportation depends on the type of cargo (ETSNG code), weight and seasonal coefficients of Russian Railways. Our rate includes: railway tariff, platform provision (drop-off), station fees and protection and deregistration of the container at the destination station.

Please note: the cost of railway transportation changes monthly. Request current rates for railway transportation of goods from managers.
