Shipping goods from Belarus to Russia
Belarus is a member of the EAEU and sits right next to the Russian border: the road leg from Minsk is the shortest on the whole network, and there is no customs clearance on entry into Russia. We collect from your premises in Minsk, Brest, Gomel or Grodno and deliver to your Russian customer in 2–4 days. No duties arise, but your buyer pays import VAT in Russia, and correct shipping documents are still required.
Minsk is also a popular clearance and consolidation point for European goods, and we deliver from EU suppliers to Minsk, Brest and Gomel: by road via Poland or the Baltic states in 5–8 days, or by sea via Rotterdam and St Petersburg in 12–18 days. 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 Belarus to Russia
Belarusian suppliers typically ship furniture and wood products, agricultural machinery and spare parts, food products, building materials and steel structures, collected from Minsk, Brest, Gomel or Vitebsk; from there the road leg to Moscow is one to two days. For regulated categories, certification and labelling are needed, and goods subject to mandatory marking must carry their codes before dispatch.
Where we collect from Belarus
Minsk, Brest, Gomel, Grodno and any other address.
Export formalities
Goods from Belarus enter Russia without customs clearance under EAEU rules, but they need correct shipping documents — invoice, consignment note and certificates — and a statistical form must be submitted. Your Russian buyer pays import VAT in Russia. The key question for European goods is where they were first imported into the EAEU and how this is evidenced. From 31 July 2026, road transit through two or more EAEU states requires a navigation seal, which directly affects Europe → Belarus → Russia routes.

Practical tips
- Apply marking codes to goods subject to mandatory labelling before dispatch, not after arrival.

- On Europe → Belarus → Russia routes, allow for navigation sealing from 31 July 2026 when planning transit times.
