5.Document preparation can fully reduce the time of delivery

Oh yes, one more thing. The consignee must pay the duties and charges at the terminal. (i.e. to apply for customs clearance in his own name), plus Russia does not levy customs duties on deliveries.
①Import duties and taxes: Russian import duties and taxes are mainly determined by the type of importer and are calculated on a CIF basis and VAT is levied on imported goods.
②VAT: The standard rate is 18%, and some goods enjoy a preferential VAT rate of 10%.
③Starting point: The tax payable by individuals and commercial entities in Russia is different.

Certificate of origin. Documents for payment of taxes and duties, registration certificate of the import contract, other supplementary documents, customs clearance in Russia takes about 2-3 working days to complete.
Another way of transporting goods from China to Russia is by sea.The advantage of this is that you can export large quantities of goods.
And that is not all.
Compared to other traditional modes of transport, sea freight is the cheapest of them all.
Vostochny
Located in the largest port in the Russian Far East, it is ice-bound in winter and navigable all year round, with coal and timber as the main export commodities. Imported grain and container transportation, etc
Murmansk Port
An important non-freezing port in Russia in the Arctic Ocean, the port is also the only non-freezing port in the Arctic Circle, the largest fishing port in Russia and the largest commercial port in the north
Vanino Port
The third largest port in the Russian Far East, on the northwest coast of vanino Bay in the Tatar Strait, operations can be arranged if required during holidays, but overtime pay is required
As of today, the main routes for shipping to Russia from China are as follows：
The first route is to transport containers from Chinese coastal ports to European base ports such as Hamburg and Rotterdam for unloading, and then to St. Petersburg, Russia by feeder ship, a total journey of approximately 50 days. Originally, the freight rate of sea freight was the lowest, but recently with the world supply chain crisis sea freight rate has increased a lot.
Because Russia's economic center of gravity and main consumption are in the European part, this channel is the most important in normal times, and it is also this line that is most affected by liner company sanctions. Since most of the capacity from the first-trip Chinese coastal ports to the European basic ports, and almost all the capacity from the second-way European basic ports to St. Petersburg, is provided by shipping companies from European and USA system countries, so this route will be nominally interrupted by the sanctions.
If you choose air transport as a means of transport for your goods, it will reach its destination faster.
You might consider selecting this mode of shipment if you want to import expensive items.
Some of these airports include:
Sheremetyevo Airport (International Airport)
Sheremetyevo International Airport (which has been in operation since 1980) Skeremetyevo Airport is situated 28 kilometres northwest of Moscow. Located 11 kilometres from the Moscow ring road, it is Moscow's civilian airport, a hub port for Aeroflot and the second largest international airport in Russia.
Vnukovo Airport
It is the third busiest airport in Russia and is located 28 km southwest of Moscow. On the other hand, the airport is used as a backup airport during the foggy season.It is due to its location and architectural design.You can use this airport if you are shipping to Moscow or its environs.
Now you don't have to worry about whether your goods are going to be transported far away. The reason for this is that it is connected by rail to the kryersky railway terminal. The current renovation and expansion will enable it to serve its customers better, as it currently has only one terminal.
The main aim of sea-rail shipping from China to Russia is to cut on importation costs.
Now, how does it work?
Firstly, you can ship your goods to a Chinese port first.
Then arrange for rail freight from Yingkou to Manchuria and any inland city in Russia through Zabaikalsk.
The goods are then transported to the port of Orient or to the port of St. Petersburg, and finally to the inland cities using rail freight.This is possible with the existing transport system in Russia.
Under normal circumstances, containers or cargoes of less than 1500 kg are still recommended for sea and rail transport from China to Russia.
Sea freight, the cheapest price is its biggest advantage.
Sea freight is cheaper than other forms of shipping and also allows you to ship bulk cargo.
When it comes to costs, as a businessman you need to understand what costs make up these costs.
But during your shipping, certain fees are bound to change.
As an importer, it is important to minimize the cost of importing.
Below I will describe some ways to reduce transport costs：
① Shop around and get the best deals based on different quotes. It is the easiest way to choose the most suitable and satisfactory offer from among them. By comparing their costs and the services they offer, you are perfectly placed to choose the best.
② Packaging materials are also one of the reasons for additional shipping costs. Don't underestimate this, your shipping costs are based on the weight of the goods weighed, and packaging is counted in this, so you don't want to be chagrined by this unjustified extra cost. Also, try not to use the packing materials provided by the airline, after all you have no idea what their specifications are.
③The third point is to save money! There is nothing more rewarding than the savings you make. If your business is not importing goods for promotional purposes, then don't add the burden of extra shipping costs. Instead, pass it on to the buyer. This will make shipping cheaper and more convenient for you.
The price of shipping depends to a large extent on factors such as
Type of product: Different products correspond to different transport needs. For example, certain dangerous goods need to be arranged with special protection measures
The size and weight of your parcel: This is perhaps the most important factor when it comes to price.
The size of the package determines the price, the larger it is the more expensive it is. However, if you are arranging a small shipment, air freight is much more cost effective.
As I said above, items under 100kg are cheaper by weight if you use air freight, and if you still don't think it's worth it, then courier will make it much more valuable
