Shipping goods from Lithuania to Russia
Lithuania is home to our own consolidation warehouse in Vilnius, the base of our Baltic corridor. Cargo from suppliers across Europe is gathered there and leaves as a single consignment with one set of documents. For Lithuanian suppliers this means the shortest possible first leg: we collect from your premises in Vilnius, Kaunas or Klaipėda, lodge the EX1 export declaration on your behalf and send you the MRN and proof of exit.
Your Russian customer receives the goods cleared through customs and delivered. Transit times depend on the consolidation schedule and the current situation at the border, and we confirm them with every quote. 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, and we screen every HS code and party before accepting cargo.

What suppliers ship from Lithuania to Russia
Our Vilnius warehouse consolidates goods from Lithuanian producers as well as from suppliers across the EU. Typical consignments are palletised groupage for Russian buyers who purchase from several European suppliers at once. Whatever the product, we check its HS code against current EU restrictions before we accept it.
Where we collect from Lithuania
Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda and any other address.
Export formalities
Lithuania is an EU member state, so the export is declared on an EX1 lodged with Lithuanian customs. We lodge it on your behalf and follow the MRN until the customs office of exit confirms the goods have left the EU; you then receive the proof of exit for your VAT records. The remote EX1 service costs from €450, or €150 when your cargo travels with us via Rotterdam.
