DELIVERY OF GOODS FROM CHINA:
METHODS, ADVANTAGES, NUANCES
Economic relations of many countries with China become stronger every year, so the issue of cargo transportation from China is now relevant. International transportation is problematic for Europe, as the main production is in the east and northeast of the Celestial Empire.
Despite all the difficulties associated with the delivery of goods home, entrepreneurs still benefit. They choose a convenient type of delivery, having studied the recommendations and advice of specialists.

DELIVERY OF GOODS BY RAILMany businessmen use railway services to transport goods inside the Chinese People's Republic. Most often, railways are used for delivering large construction materials and other goods that have large dimensions and volumes. They are packed and placed in containers that reliably store the goods.
This is required if you need to transport the goods from one side of China to another. It will take you 7–10 days to deliver goods from the east to the north of the country. From there, they are forwarded to the Russian border and to Europe, using the Trans-Siberian Highway.

DELIVERY OF GOODS BY SEASea transportation is the most advantageous and demanded type of delivery in terms of investments, although it is not the fastest one. This method is enjoyed by big businessmen and emergent entrepreneurs. It is suitable for transportation of expensive goods in large quantities.
China has about 30 international ports, from where goods are transported to all points of the planet. To Russia, they get by sea – first to the ports of Vladivostok or Saint Petersburg, and then the cargo in containers is transported by railways. The delivery will take 25 to 45 days.
-
DELIVERY OF GOODS BY CARDelivery by car is not the best solution. The reason is the poor condition of Russian roads. The car is used more often for transportation of goods on the territory of the country to the Russian border. At the customs, it is processed and loaded in wagons, and then delivered by rail. The only exceptions are the settlements of Russia located near the Chinese border. A small number of goods can be delivered this way.
-
CUSTOMS CLEARANCEThe company, engaged in the transportation of cargo from China, provide services of the customs broker. Hiring a specialist is very convenient, as he/she knows all the details of the correct registration of customs documents and makes it competently and fast.
The goods pass customs twice. The first time, the goods are registered when exported from the territory of China, the second time – at the entry to Russia. In both cases, the declarations are completed, duties, taxes, excises and other payments are paid.
One method is seldom used for the delivery of goods. Combining different delivery methods is an excellent solution. Here one needs good calculations by the logistics department, which estimates the way from the company in China to the final point.
