Shipping goods from Bahrain to Russia
Bahrain is a Gulf centre of aluminium production and finance, with petrochemicals and equipment also among its exports. Container cargo for Russia leaves through Khalifa Bin Salman Port with transhipment and reaches Novorossiysk or St Petersburg via Suez, while air freight via Dubai or Istanbul serves urgent consignments. The transit time depends on the connection and is confirmed in each quote.
We work for Bahraini producers, distributors and trading companies whose customers are in Russia and the CIS. We organise collection from your premises, arrange export formalities, book sea or air freight and clear the goods through Russian customs for your buyer. We accept business shipments from 50 kg (air freight has no weight limit), and every consignment is screened against sanctions lists before we accept it.

What suppliers ship from Bahrain to Russia
Shipments from Bahrain typically include aluminium products such as ingots, rolled products and profiles, petrochemical products and industrial equipment. Heavy metal products are usually shipped in full containers, and we check packing and securing for these loads. Chemicals need safety data sheets.
Export formalities
The Bahraini export declaration is lodged at the port or airport of dispatch, by your agent or arranged by us, and you keep a copy as proof of export. Where goods are traded rather than produced in Bahrain, the manufacturer’s origin documents are needed. In Russia we clear the goods for your buyer, who pays import duty and VAT.

- Send safety data sheets with enquiries for chemical products.
Frequently asked questions
How long does shipping from Bahrain to Russia take?
Air freight via Dubai or Istanbul is the fastest option. Sea freight from Khalifa Bin Salman Port runs with transhipment via Suez. We confirm the transit time in the quote.
How can my Russian customer pay me?
Your customer can use our supplier-payment service: the buyer pays a payment agent in Russia under an agency agreement, and a partner company resident in the EU transfers the invoice amount to you by SWIFT. The commission is agreed with the buyer; payments for sanctioned goods are not made.
What documents are needed?
A commercial invoice with HS codes, prices and Incoterms, a packing list, the Bahraini export declaration and, where relevant, origin documents and safety data sheets.
Do you screen for sanctions?
Yes. We only handle goods not subject to EU, UK, Swiss or US sanctions. HS codes, origin and all parties are screened before cargo is accepted, and restricted items are declined.
