Shipping goods from Liechtenstein to Russia
Liechtenstein is a small but highly industrial country, known for precision components, tools and dental equipment. It forms a customs union with Switzerland, so export formalities follow the Swiss model: an export declaration lodged with Swiss customs, followed by T1 transit across the European Union. We collect from your premises, prepare both documents on your behalf and send you the export evidence for your VAT records.
The goods travel by road to our consolidation warehouse in Warsaw and on to Moscow, where your Russian customer receives them cleared through customs and delivered. Transit times depend on the consolidation schedule and are confirmed with every quote; the double formalities make the route slightly longer than from neighbouring EU countries. We work B2B only, from 50 kg per shipment (air freight has no weight limit), minimum service fee €200.
How we ship from Liechtenstein to Russia
Road via Warsaw
Groupage through our Warsaw warehouse: a weekly truck after the Friday cut-off, from €850 for 3 pallets to a bonded warehouse in Moscow, 4–7 days. Full trucks go direct from your premises, with trailer swap or reloading at the border.
Air freight
From any country in 2–8 days door to door via Istanbul or Dubai, charged by volumetric weight (1 m³ = 167 kg), no weight limit. Minimum service fee €200.

What suppliers ship from Liechtenstein to Russia
Liechtenstein suppliers typically ship precision components, tools and dental equipment. These are compact, high-value goods that travel well in groupage but need exact HS classification: some tools and precision parts are restricted for export to Russia, and medical devices need the right documents for import. We check every item before accepting it.
Export formalities
Liechtenstein is not in the EU and shares a customs territory with Switzerland. The export is declared with Swiss customs, and a T1 transit document covers the movement through the EU. Liechtenstein applies sanctions in line with the EU, so each HS code and party is screened. We prepare both declarations, track the transit until exit and send you the confirmation.

Practical tips
- Send technical descriptions with your enquiry — exact classification of tools and precision parts decides whether they can be exported.
- Insure high-value components at invoice value; the cost is small compared with the value of the goods.
- Allow a little extra time for the Swiss export plus T1 transit.
Frequently asked questions
How long does shipping from Liechtenstein to Russia take?
The goods go by road via Warsaw to Moscow. The exact transit time depends on the consolidation schedule and is confirmed with your quote.
How can my Russian customer pay my invoice?
Through our supplier-payment service: your customer pays a payment agent under an agency agreement, and a partner company resident in the EU transfers the amount to your account, quoting your invoice number.
Which export declaration applies to Liechtenstein?
Because of the customs union with Switzerland, the export is declared with Swiss customs, followed by a T1 transit document through the EU. We lodge both for you.
Do you check sanctions?
Yes. We screen every HS code and party against Swiss, EU, UK and US sanctions and dual-use lists before accepting cargo, and decline anything restricted.
