Shipping goods from Andorra to Russia
Andorra is a small duty-free market in the Pyrenees, with suppliers trading mainly in perfumery, tobacco and premium goods. It is not an EU member and has its own customs administration, so goods are declared for export in Andorra and then cross Spain or France in transit. We collect from your premises, prepare the export and transit documents on your behalf and send you the export evidence for your records.
From Andorra, cargo moves to our warehouse in Rotterdam and continues by sea to St Petersburg, where your Russian customer receives it cleared through customs and delivered. Transit times depend on the consolidation schedule and are confirmed with every quote. We work B2B only — companies and sole traders — from 50 kg per shipment (air freight has no weight limit), with a minimum service fee of €200.

What suppliers ship from Andorra to Russia
Andorran suppliers trade mainly in perfumery, tobacco and premium goods. These are sensitive categories: many luxury items are covered by EU restrictive measures on exports to Russia, and tobacco and alcohol are excise goods with their own documents. We check the HS code, value and parties for every item and accept only goods that may lawfully be exported.
Export formalities
Andorra is outside the EU, so the export is declared with Andorran customs, and the goods then travel through Spain or France to Rotterdam under a T1 transit document. We prepare both on your behalf and track the transit until the goods leave the EU. Andorra aligns with EU sanctions, and we screen every consignment against EU, UK, Swiss and US lists.

Practical tips
- Check premium goods against the EU luxury-goods restrictions before agreeing a sale — HS code and unit value both matter.
- For tobacco and perfumery, prepare excise and product documents before collection.
- Consolidating via Rotterdam is usually cheaper than a dedicated vehicle for small consignments.
