Shipping goods from Kyrgyzstan to Russia
Kyrgyzstan is an EAEU member, and cargo travels by road through Kazakhstan with no customs clearance on entry into Russia. We collect from your premises in Bishkek or Osh and deliver to your Russian customer in 7–11 days. The transit time is made up of two legs and depends on traffic on Kazakh roads. There are no customs duties, but your buyer pays import VAT in Russia, and correct documents are required.
In the other direction, we deliver from EU suppliers to Bishkek and Osh in transit through Russia and Kazakhstan: by sea via Rotterdam and St Petersburg, then road, in 22–32 days, or by full truck via the Baltic states 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 Kyrgyzstan to Russia
Kyrgyz suppliers typically ship textiles and garments, food products and dried fruit, building materials and re-exported Chinese goods. Kyrgyzstan is used as a manufacturing and clearance base for textiles and clothing, and garments must carry Russia’s Chestny ZNAK (Honest Sign) labelling, which we plan before dispatch.
Where we collect from Kyrgyzstan
Bishkek, Osh and any other address.
Export formalities
Goods move from Kyrgyzstan to Russia without customs clearance under EAEU rules, but for goods of Chinese origin customs checks closely whether they were correctly cleared on import into the Union. We collect origin documents in advance; otherwise the consignment is re-declared as an import from a third country. Your Russian buyer pays import VAT. Road transit through Kazakhstan also falls under the navigation-seal requirement from 31 July 2026.
