In the China-Russia cross-border logistics chain, the customs clearance link often becomes a “bottleneck” for cargo transportation due to complex processes and stringent document requirements. SBTG, relying on in-depth mastery of Russian customs regulations and a mature customs clearance service system, takes “advance preparation, precise connection, and category-specific measures” as its core. It provides efficient customs clearance solutions for various types of goods, effectively shortens the time for Russian cargo customs clearance, ensures the smooth flow of the logistics chain, and becomes a reliable backing for enterprises’ cross-border transportation.
Preparing complete and compliant customs clearance documents in advance is the foundation for SBTG to ensure efficient customs clearance. Russian customs have extremely high requirements for the completeness and accuracy of customs clearance documents. Any oversight may lead to cargo detention. Targeting different types of goods, SBTG has established standardized document preparation lists. It assists customers in sorting out core materials such as invoices, packing lists, and certificates of conformity in advance. Especially for regulated goods, it additionally verifies special documents such as certificates of origin and safety certifications. Through the document pre-audit mechanism, SBTG addresses customs clearance risks in advance, laying a solid foundation for the rapid customs clearance of goods.
Customizing customs clearance strategies according to the characteristics of different goods is one of SBTG’s core competencies. In the customs clearance of oversized goods, SBTG achieves efficient operations with rich experience. Oversized goods such as industrial production lines and heavy machinery not only exceed size and weight limits but also require special loading and unloading equipment, with closely linked customs clearance and unloading links. SBTG communicates with Russian customs and port authorities in advance, reports key information such as cargo size and weight, and applies for dedicated inspection and unloading channels. At the same time, it coordinates professional loading and unloading teams to be on-site to ensure that the inspection and unloading processes can be completed quickly after the goods arrive at the port. Previously, in a liquid filling production line transportation project undertaken by SBTG, equipment with a total weight of 388.49 tons distributed in 137 cargo positions achieved simultaneous unloading and customs clearance at Vladivostok Port. The entire process took less than two days, which was faster than the conventional customs clearance time for oversized goods, saving customers a lot of port detention costs.
Facing the complexity of LCL (Less than Container Load) cargo customs clearance, SBTG avoids delays through refined management. LCL cargo consists of multiple scattered shipments with mixed categories and different shippers. Abnormal information of any single shipment may lead to the detention of the entire batch of goods. SBTG has established a “per-shipment verification and unified declaration” mechanism. Before goods are consolidated into LCL, it verifies the declaration information and document qualifications of each shipment one by one to ensure there are no issues such as inconsistency between the declared name and the actual goods, or missing documents. During the customs clearance stage, it makes a unified declaration for the entire LCL batch and clearly lists the details of each sub-shipment to the customs to facilitate rapid inspection. In a batch of consumer goods LCL cargo of a cross-border e-commerce enterprise, a single product once faced customs clearance risks for failing to apply for import licenses in advance.SBTG detected this in the pre-audit and assisted the customer in supplementing the documents. Finally, the entire batch of goods passed customs clearance smoothly without any delays, ensuring the customer’s sales cycle.
With a profound understanding of Russian customs clearance processes and refined services, SBTG continues to break down customs clearance barriers in cross-border logistics. From advance document preparation to customized customs clearance solutions, from oversized goods to LCL cargo, SBTG, with its efficient and reliable customs clearance services, unblocks key nodes for China-Russia cross-border trade. It helps enterprises reduce logistics costs and improve market response speed, becoming an important logistics bridge connecting the Chinese and Russian markets.
