Shipping goods from Fiji to Russia
Fiji exports sugar, bottled mineral water, coconut products and fish. Suva is the main port, and cargo for Russia sails with transhipment in a larger regional hub before continuing to the Russian Far East or via Suez to St Petersburg or Novorossiysk. Air freight from Nadi via a hub suits chilled fish and urgent consignments. Because of the connections involved, we confirm the transit time for each shipment in the quote.
We work for Fijian producers and exporters whose customers are in Russia and the CIS. We organise collection from your plant or warehouse, arrange the Fijian export formalities and veterinary or phytosanitary documents, 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 Fiji to Russia
Fijian suppliers ship raw sugar, bottled mineral water, coconut products such as coconut oil, and fish. Fish needs veterinary certificates from a plant eligible to supply Russia; bottled water and food products must meet Russian labelling and conformity rules.
Export formalities
The Fijian export declaration is lodged at Suva or Nadi, by your customs agent or arranged by us, and you keep a copy as proof of export. In Russia we clear the goods for your buyer, who pays import duty and VAT and is responsible for conformity documents for food and beverages.

Frequently asked questions
How long does shipping from Fiji to Russia take?
Air freight is the fastest option. Sea freight from Suva runs with transhipment in a regional hub. We confirm the expected time in each quote.
How do I get paid by a Russian customer?
Through our supplier-payment service: the Russian buyer pays a payment agent under an agency agreement, and a partner company resident in the EU pays your invoice by SWIFT, quoting your invoice number. Payments for sanctioned goods are not made.
Which documents are needed?
A commercial invoice with HS codes, prices and Incoterms, a packing list, the Fijian export declaration and, depending on the goods, veterinary or phytosanitary certificates.
Do you check sanctions?
Yes. We only handle goods that are not subject to EU, UK, Swiss or US sanctions. HS codes and all parties are screened before cargo is accepted.
