Shipping goods from Bangladesh to Russia
Bangladesh is one of the world’s largest garment producers, and its clothing, knitwear and textiles reach Russian retailers and wholesalers mainly through the port of Chittagong. Sea freight sails with transhipment in a regional hub and continues via Suez to St Petersburg or Novorossiysk or to the Russian Far East. Air freight via Dubai or Istanbul suits samples and urgent top-up orders. Transit times depend on connections and are confirmed in each quote.
We work for Bangladeshi garment factories and exporters whose customers are in Russia and the CIS. We organise collection from your factory, arrange the export formalities, book sea or air freight and clear the goods through Russian customs for your buyer, including labelling requirements. We accept business shipments from 50 kg — there is no weight limit for air freight — and every consignment is screened against sanctions lists.

What suppliers ship from Bangladesh to Russia
Bangladeshi suppliers ship ready-made garments, knitwear, T-shirts and underwear, home textiles and fabrics. Clothing sold in Russia needs conformity documents and mandatory product labelling, so we agree these with the buyer before the goods are packed — relabelling after arrival costs time and money.
Export formalities
The Bangladeshi export declaration is lodged at Chittagong or at Dhaka airport, by your agent or arranged by us, and you keep a copy as proof of export. On arrival we clear the goods in Russia for your buyer, who pays import duty and VAT and is responsible for conformity documents and labelling of clothing.

Practical tips
- Agree Russian labelling and conformity documents for garments before packing.
- Consolidate orders from several factories into one container to reduce freight cost per piece.
- Plan seasonal collections with a margin — transhipment connections can add days to sea transit.
Frequently asked questions
How long does shipping from Bangladesh to Russia take?
Air freight is the fastest option. Sea freight from Chittagong involves transhipment, so the time depends on vessel connections. We confirm the expected time for your cargo in the quote.
How do I receive payment from a Russian buyer?
Through our supplier-payment service: your customer pays an agent in Russia under an agency agreement, and a partner company resident in the EU settles your invoice by SWIFT with your invoice number as the reference. Payments for sanctioned goods are not made.
What documents are required?
A commercial invoice with HS codes, prices and Incoterms, a packing list and the Bangladeshi export declaration. Russian conformity documents and labelling for clothing are arranged with your buyer before shipment.
Do you check shipments against sanctions?
Yes. We only handle goods not subject to EU, UK, Swiss or US sanctions. HS codes and all parties are screened before we accept cargo, and any restricted item is declined.
