Shipping goods from Shenzhen to Russia
Shenzhen is the world capital of electronics. We ship from Yantian, Shekou and the Shenzhen and Hong Kong airports and clear the goods through Russian customs for your buyer — after export-control screening.
Shenzhen: Guangdong province, on the border with Hong Kong
Shenzhen is the world capital of electronics: from the Huaqiangbei components market to the factories of the largest brands. Gadgets, LED products, batteries, circuit boards and finished devices are shipped from here.
For Shenzhen suppliers whose customer is a Russian company, we organise collection, transport and Russian customs clearance — and we check each item against export-control and sanctions lists before we accept it.

How shipping is organised
By sea from the Yantian and Shekou terminals (among the largest container ports in the world), by air from Shenzhen or Hong Kong for urgent and high-value consignments. Compliance is critical for electronics: batteries and devices with batteries require special transport conditions, and devices with encryption (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) need an FSB notification before import into Russia. We check the requirements for every item before purchase.
Export points: the deep-water terminals of Yantian and Shekou and the Shenzhen and Hong Kong airports.
Logistics tip
Lithium batteries and goods containing them are a separate category: not every carrier accepts them, and strict restrictions apply to air freight. Declare any batteries in the consignment at the quotation stage — otherwise the shipment may get stuck at the origin warehouse.
Export controls
Many electronic components and devices appear on EU, UK and US export-control and sanctions lists (including dual-use and “common high priority” items). We screen every HS code, the end user and all parties before quoting and do not ship restricted items.

Can the Russian buyer pay our invoice through you?
Yes. If your Russian customer appoints us as agent, we can pay your invoice in CNY or USD under an agency agreement, receive and check the goods at the consolidation warehouse (the deep-water terminals of Yantian and Shekou and the Shenzhen and Hong Kong airports), and combine purchases from several suppliers into one consignment with a single set of documents. Payments go only through regular banking channels and only for goods that pass sanctions screening.

Road, rail and sea shipments from 50 kg (groupage, pallets, containers). Air freight has no weight limit. The minimum service fee is €200.
What documents do you need from the supplier?
A commercial invoice and a packing list with weights and dimensions per piece, plus product descriptions good enough for HS classification. For goods subject to Russian certification or Chestny Znak labelling we tell you in advance what has to be done before dispatch.
