Shipping goods from Myanmar to Russia
Myanmar exports textiles, agricultural products and gemstones, and Yangon is its main port. Sea freight to Russia sails with transhipment in a regional hub and continues to the Russian Far East or, via Suez, to St Petersburg or Novorossiysk. Air freight via regional hubs is available for urgent goods. Because of the connections involved, we do not publish a standard transit time and confirm it in each quote.
We work for exporters in Myanmar whose customers are in Russia and the CIS, but only after thorough compliance checks. Myanmar is subject to EU, UK and US restrictive measures, so goods and counterparties are screened with particular care, and anything that falls under these measures is declined. For eligible shipments from 50 kg, we arrange collection, export formalities, freight and Russian import clearance for your buyer.

What suppliers ship from Myanmar to Russia
Typical goods from Myanmar are garments and textiles and agricultural products such as rice, beans and pulses. The gemstone trade is particularly exposed to sanctions, and such enquiries are accepted only if screening shows that neither the goods nor the parties are covered by restrictive measures. Agricultural products need phytosanitary certificates for import into Russia.
Export formalities
The export declaration is lodged with Myanmar customs at Yangon or at the airport of dispatch, by your broker or arranged by us, and you keep a copy as proof of export. Plant products need phytosanitary certificates. Before any booking we screen the goods, the seller, the buyer and any intermediaries against EU, UK, Swiss and US lists. In Russia we clear the goods for your buyer.

Frequently asked questions
How long does shipping from Myanmar to Russia take?
Air freight is the fastest option. Sea freight from Yangon involves transhipment, so the time depends on vessel connections. We confirm the expected transit time in the quote once screening is complete.
How can my Russian buyer pay me?
Where the transaction passes screening, your buyer can use our supplier-payment service: the Russian customer pays an agent under an agency agreement, and a partner company resident in the EU pays your invoice by SWIFT. Payments for sanctioned goods or to listed parties are not made.
What documents do I need?
A commercial invoice with HS codes, prices and Incoterms, a packing list, the Myanmar export declaration, details of all parties for screening and, for agricultural goods, phytosanitary certificates.
Is shipping from Myanmar affected by sanctions?
Yes. Myanmar is subject to EU, UK and US restrictive measures. We only handle goods that are not subject to EU, UK, Swiss or US sanctions, screen every HS code and party, and decline any shipment or counterparty covered by them.
