Shipping goods from Estonia to Russia
Estonia is known for IT and electronics and for transit through the port of Tallinn. For Estonian suppliers our route to Russia runs along the Baltic corridor: goods are consolidated at our warehouse in Vilnius and leave as one consignment with a single set of documents. We collect from your premises in Tallinn, Tartu or Narva, lodge the EX1 export declaration on your behalf and send you the MRN and proof of exit.
Your Russian customer receives the goods cleared through customs and delivered. Transit times depend on the consolidation schedule and the current border situation 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, and every HS code and party is screened before we accept cargo.

What suppliers ship from Estonia to Russia
Estonian suppliers typically ship electronics, IT equipment and transit goods through Tallinn. Electronics and IT hardware need careful HS classification: many such items are restricted for export to Russia or listed as dual-use. We check every item, and the origin of transit goods, before accepting the cargo.
Where we collect from Estonia
Tallinn, Tartu, Narva and any other address.
Export formalities
Estonia is an EU member state, so the export is declared on an EX1 lodged with Estonian customs. We lodge it on your behalf — from €450 remotely, €150 when your cargo travels with us via Rotterdam — and follow the MRN until the customs office of exit confirms the goods have left the EU. You then receive the proof of exit for your VAT records.
