Shipping goods from the Philippines to Russia
The Philippines exports coconut products, tropical fruit and electronics, and Manila is the main port for shipments to Russia. Sea freight sails with transhipment in a regional hub and reaches Russia either via Vladivostok in the Far East or via Suez to St Petersburg or Novorossiysk. Air freight connects via major hubs such as Dubai or Istanbul and suits urgent or perishable goods. The transit time depends on vessel connections and is confirmed in each quote.
We work for Filipino producers and exporters whose customers are in Russia and the CIS. We organise collection from your premises, arrange the Philippine 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 it is accepted.

What suppliers ship from the Philippines to Russia
Philippine suppliers ship coconut products such as desiccated coconut, coconut oil and other coconut derivatives, tropical fruit and processed fruit, and electronics and components. Food products need phytosanitary or sanitary documents for import into Russia, while electronics is screened for restrictions before we quote.
Export formalities
The Philippine export declaration is lodged at the port or airport of dispatch — by your broker or arranged by us — and you keep a copy as proof of export. For food and plant products, phytosanitary certificates are issued before loading. On arrival in Russia we clear the goods for your buyer, who pays import duty and VAT.

Practical tips
- For fresh fruit, plan cold-chain transport and phytosanitary certificates at the same time as the order.
- Coconut oil and other food ingredients need sanitary documents — check the Russian requirements with your buyer.
- Allow for transhipment when planning: the connection in the hub determines the real transit time.
Frequently asked questions
How long does shipping from the Philippines to Russia take?
Air freight is the fastest option. Sea freight from Manila involves transhipment, so the time depends on vessel connections. We confirm the expected transit time for your cargo in the quote.
How can my Russian buyer pay me?
Your buyer can use our supplier-payment service: the Russian customer pays a payment agent under an agency agreement, and a partner company resident in the EU transfers the invoice amount to you by SWIFT. Payments for sanctioned goods or to listed parties are not made.
Which documents do I need?
A commercial invoice with HS codes, prices and Incoterms, a packing list, the Philippine export declaration and, for food and plant products, phytosanitary or sanitary certificates.
Do you check 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 restricted or dual-use items are declined.
