Shipping goods from Honduras to Russia
Honduras is one of Central America’s largest coffee producers and also exports bananas and farmed shrimp. Puerto Cortés on the Caribbean coast is the region’s main Atlantic port, and cargo for Russia sails from there with transhipment towards St Petersburg or Novorossiysk; bananas and shrimp travel in reefer containers. Air freight via a hub suits urgent goods. We confirm the transit time for each shipment in the quote.
We work for Honduran coffee exporters, growers and seafood producers whose customers are in Russia and the CIS. We organise collection from your warehouse or plant, arrange export formalities and phytosanitary or veterinary documents, book reefer, dry 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 screen every consignment against sanctions lists.

What suppliers ship from Honduras to Russia
Honduran suppliers ship green coffee, bananas and frozen shrimp. Coffee and bananas need phytosanitary certificates, while shrimp needs veterinary certificates and the producing plant should be confirmed as eligible to supply Russia before the first shipment.
Export formalities
The Honduran export declaration is lodged at Puerto Cortés or at the airport of dispatch, by your customs agent or arranged by us, and you keep a copy as proof of export. Phytosanitary or veterinary certificates are issued before loading. In Russia we clear the goods for your buyer, with plant-health or veterinary control at the point of entry.

Frequently asked questions
How long does shipping from Honduras to Russia take?
Air freight is the fastest option. Sea freight from Puerto Cortés runs with transhipment. 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.
What documents are needed?
A commercial invoice with HS codes, prices and Incoterms, a packing list, the Honduran export declaration and phytosanitary or veterinary certificates, depending on the goods.
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.
