The in-depth cooperation in China-Russia trade has made the professionalism and comprehensiveness of logistics services a key support for enterprises to go global. During the 2025 Chinese New Year holiday (January 29 – February 12), China-Russia logistics faced risks such as tight transportation capacity, suspension of supporting services, and supply chain disruptions. Coupled with the market pressure of a 40% year-on-year growth in demand for oversized cargo and the strict control of category compliance at the Russian border, many enterprises fell into the dilemma of freight delays and customs clearance obstacles. As a China to Russia transportation and customs clearance company focusing on China-Russia freight for 20 years, Shanghai SBTG has deeply integrated the compliance key points and service experience from new materials to build a full-chain coverage system of “customs clearance + transit + freight”. It solves industry pain points through details and builds a solid logistics defense line for enterprises’ exports to Russia.
I. Compliance as the Core: Breaking Dual Barriers of Border and Policy
Category-Specific Compliance Control: Based on the requirements of Russian border supervision, a refined category screening system has been established. Clearly define the red line for prohibited export of categories such as Pu’er tea; strengthen the compliance review of symbols and logos for categories such as clothing; for home appliance products containing refrigerants such as R404A and R410A, plan a 3-4 month license processing cycle in advance, and control the single-way compliance cost within the standard of 200,000 rubles, avoiding the risk of illegal detention from the source.
Dual Adaptation to Policies and Holidays: Establish a joint early warning mechanism for Russian customs policies and Chinese holidays, and formulate a special plan for the 2025 New Year holiday. Lock in railway and sea shipping space before and after the holiday in advance, and coordinate with Russian partners to ensure basic transit services during the holiday; accurately interpret the 2025 Russia-Kazakhstan temporary cargo import policy, assist customers in seizing the policy window for import without EAES status and without “Honest Marking”, and promote cargo customs clearance in a compliant manner.
II. Full-Chain Adaptation: Covering Special Needs and Foreign Trade Scenarios
Multi-Scenario Freight Layout: In response to the growing demand for oversized cargo, activate ice-class container ship supporting sea freight services to adapt to the long-distance transportation of goods such as 1420-1426mm large-diameter pipelines; integrate multi-modal transportation resources of road, railway, air and sea, customize transportation links for different categories such as industrial equipment and consumer goods, and balance cost and timeliness.
Foreign Trade Outsourcing Supporting Services: Provide full-chain logistics support for enterprises’ foreign trade outsourcing cooperation needs. From the logistics cost assessment at the supplier selection stage, to the accurate HS code classification during order execution (avoiding delays caused by classification errors), and then to the subsequent connection of customs clearance and transit, form a “foreign trade + logistics” collaborative plan, reducing enterprises’ multi-link docking costs.
III. Value-Added Guarantee: Consolidating the Stability of Full-Chain Services
Digital Insurance Empowerment: In line with the development trend of the transportation insurance market, introduce digital insurance services. Match exclusive insurance plans for different categories of goods, realize the full-process online insurance application and claim settlement through the system, shorten the claim settlement cycle, and reduce risk losses during cargo transportation.
Full-Chain Node Control: Layout distribution warehouses in core cities and remote areas in Russia, and all cooperating fleets hold complete qualifications. To address the congestion problem at the Russia-Kazakhstan border, fix the Ussuriysk and Belarus customs transit channels as alternatives; implement a “three-document review + pre-declaration” system in the customs clearance link, and the direct customs clearance team in Moscow can quickly connect with Russian customs to efficiently handle inspection matters.
SBTG adheres to the concept of long-termism and the principle of zero compromise on quality, integrating experience in compliance details, holiday response, and foreign trade support from new materials into full-chain services. We deeply understand that high-quality full-chain logistics is not just a simple superposition of transportation and customs clearance, but also precise control of details and risk prediction. In the future, SBTG will continue to refine the service granularity, deepen the advantages of holiday transportation capacity reserves, niche category compliance, and digital guarantees, and become a “stable logistics partner” for enterprises exporting to Russia. We will use professional strength to ensure the smooth fulfillment of each batch of goods and witness the continuous heating up of China-Russia trade.
