Shipping goods to Barnaul, Russia
Barnaul is the capital of the Altai territory and an agro-industrial centre of Western Siberia, on the way to the borders with Kazakhstan, Mongolia and China.
Shipping goods to Barnaul — from Europe, Asia and the US
Barnaul serves the agricultural and industrial market of Altai, with a strong agricultural sector, food processing and engineering. The region borders Kazakhstan and is close to Mongolia, which opens up road and rail corridors for imports from Asia. Goods from China are best brought in along the Trans-Siberian Railway with consolidation via Novosibirsk, or directly by road.
If your customer is in Barnaul, we organise the whole delivery for you: we collect the goods from your premises, consolidate consignments, lodge the EU export declaration if you do not do it yourself (with proof of exit for your VAT zero-rating), clear the goods through Russian customs and deliver them to the consignee in Barnaul. You get a transparent price and control at every stage of the route.

Customs clearance for Barnaul: Siberian Electronic Customs
The declaration goes to the Siberian electronic declaration centre, the goods to a temporary storage warehouse in the consignee’s city. For goods from China this is often cheaper than clearing in Vladivostok and trucking the consignment onwards.
We lodge the declaration before the goods arrive, so release takes 1–2 days: the HS code and duty calculation are agreed in advance, and certificates and permits are prepared at the purchasing stage. Clearance is handled by a customs representative on the Federal Customs Service register; your customer receives the declaration with the release stamp and a full set of closing documents.
B2B only, sanctions screening first
We work with companies only: shipments from 50 kg (air: no weight limit), minimum service fee €200; no personal parcels or retail purchases. We handle only goods that are not subject to EU, UK, Swiss or US sanctions and screen HS codes and all parties before we quote. We reply within 2 business hours.
