International container transportations from china to Russia via railway border crossing Manchouli-Zabaikalsk

The present service is becoming more and more popular among Russian importers. There are several reasons for that:

• The time for cargo delivery by railways via Zabaikalsk is significantly less than the time via ports of Far East Russia. For instance the average shipment takes 25 days from Tianjin to Moscow.

• The cost of transportation from the north and central regions of China may be much lower. It results from the cutback of the transportation by Russian railways as this part of transportation is the most expensive.

• Simplicity and transparency of document flow. Under drawing up of international railway transportation the united transport document is drawn up from the station of dispatch in PRC to the station of destination in Russia. According to this document railways participating in the transportation assume the obligation of cargo safety and terms of its delivery. As a result the rights of the consignee are more protected than under multimodal shipments by sea and railways: 1) the consignee is protected in case of loss or delivery expiration reimbursement; 2) the consignee has a trustworthy point of contact – railway services – to which he can address relevant claims and issues.

• In Zabaikalsk it is convenient and cheap to do the custom clearance of the cargo, at the depot which carries out the reloading from Chinese platforms to Russian. After the customs clearance is complete containers can be shipped by any lot without limitation.

Our company has broad experience in organization of such transportations.

At the depots of Yingkou, Tianjin, Qingdao, Shanghai, Ningbo we always have a fleet of our 20ft containers.

After container is unloaded at the destination point it should be returned to the depot of our agent which is always situated in the place of container arrival.
