Shipping goods from Mexico to Russia
Mexico is a major producer of automotive components and electronics and a significant exporter of agricultural goods and tequila. Veracruz on the Gulf of Mexico is the main port for Atlantic services, and cargo for Russia sails from there with transhipment towards St Petersburg or Novorossiysk. Air freight from Mexico City via Istanbul or another hub suits urgent consignments. We confirm the transit time for each shipment in the quote.
We work for Mexican manufacturers and exporters whose customers are in Russia and the CIS. We organise collection from your plant or warehouse, arrange the Mexican 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 goods and parties are screened against sanctions lists before we confirm any booking.

What suppliers ship from Mexico to Russia
Mexican suppliers ship automotive components, electronics, tequila and other spirits, and agricultural products such as avocados and coffee. Electronics and components are screened for restrictions, tequila can be imported into Russia only by a licensed importer with excise stamps, and fresh produce needs phytosanitary certificates.
Export formalities
The Mexican export declaration (pedimento) is lodged by a customs broker at the port or airport of dispatch — your own broker or one we arrange — and you keep a copy as proof of export. In Russia we clear the goods for your buyer, who pays import duty and VAT and, for spirits, excise.

Frequently asked questions
How long does shipping from Mexico to Russia take?
Air freight is the fastest option. Sea freight from Veracruz runs with transhipment to St Petersburg or Novorossiysk. We confirm the time in each quote.
How do I receive payment from my Russian buyer?
Through our supplier-payment service: your customer pays an agent in Russia under an agency agreement, and a partner company resident in the EU settles your invoice by SWIFT, quoting your invoice number. Payments for sanctioned goods are not made.
What documents are required?
A commercial invoice with HS codes, prices and Incoterms, a packing list, the Mexican export declaration and, depending on the goods, phytosanitary certificates or alcohol import documents.
Do you check sanctions?
Yes. We only handle goods not subject to EU, UK, Swiss or US sanctions. HS codes, end use and all parties are screened before cargo is accepted, and restricted items are declined.
