In 2026, the China-Russia freight industry enters a high-quality development stage featuring strong compliance and high efficiency. The full coverage of electronic customs declaration, the release of AEO certification dividends, the commercial operation of the Arctic sea route, and the commissioning of new cross-border hubs have transformed industry competition from price wars to value wars. When enterprises select partners, the standards for strong enterprises have become increasingly clear: they must have compliance capabilities to respond to policy changes, link resources to adapt to diverse needs, customs clearance strength to solve complex problems, and full-chain underwriting service guarantees. With 20 years of in-depth experience in Russia-bound freight, Shanghai SBTG has built competitive barriers with differentiated core advantages, becoming a strength benchmark in the Russia-bound freight field.
I. Compliance as the Foundation: Building a Solid Full-Chain Safety Bottom Line
Solid Qualification System: Completed registration with the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation, holds a “Customs Declaration Agency License”, passed the China-Russia AEO Advanced Certification, and all transport vehicles have obtained the “Vehicle Approval Certificate”, fully complying with the latest TIR rules. All qualifications can be verified through the official website of the Russian Customs, avoiding compliance risks from the source.
Forward-Looking Policy Response: Established a special team to interpret the 2026 new regulations, built an electronic customs declaration system in advance to support 48-hour pre-declaration with priority inspection; assisted enterprises in completing the registration of the “Honest Mark System”, adapted to the tariff grading tax policy, and accurately avoided the risks of return and fines.
II. Link Innovation: Creating Scenario-Based Transportation Solutions
In-Depth Binding with New Hubs: Took the lead in opening new channels such as the Nizhneleninskoye-Tongjiang Railway Bridge and the Heihe Highway Bridge, realized direct cargo delivery relying on “dual-gauge” technology, and opened a special route through Heixiazi Island to bypass congestion at traditional ports, significantly shortening the transportation cycle and reducing losses.
Precise Adaptation of Multi-Links: Integrated resources of “railway + highway + sea transportation + Arctic sea route”, provided low-cost Arctic sea route solutions for energy-based cargo, opened a 36-hour direct special route via the Heihe Bridge for cold chain cargo, and optimized packaging for large e-commerce goods to adapt to Ozon platform rules.
III. Customs Clearance Barriers: Tackling All-Category Customs Clearance Problems
Tackling All-Category Solutions: Implemented “classified customs clearance + standardized processes”, handled licenses for household appliances containing refrigerants in accordance with standard cycles, completed EAC certification and quarantine documents simultaneously for food categories, and prepared non-military use certificates in advance for mechanical categories, adapting to the supervision requirements of all categories.
Localization Capability Support: Set up a directly affiliated customs clearance team in Moscow, with professional Russian language proficiency and practical experience. In case of inspection, the team can quickly arrive at the scene to supplement documents and cooperate with digital inspection, greatly shortening the problem handling cycle.
IV. Service Closed Loop: Building a Full-Chain Guarantee System
Digital Full-Chain Control: Built an exclusive visualization platform, connected to the Russian Customs system to realize real-time tracking of trajectory and customs clearance progress, and introduced digital twin technology to predict congestion and reduce the abnormal rate.
Transparent Risk Underwriting: Publicized the cost list in advance to eliminate hidden charges, introduced exclusive digital insurance covering risks such as delays and damage, and initiated claim settlement within 24 hours; laid out bonded warehouses in Moscow and Novosibirsk to realize the integration of “transportation + warehousing + distribution”.
