Shipping goods from Nicaragua to Russia
Nicaragua exports coffee, premium cigars, beef and sugar. Corinto is the country’s main port on the Pacific coast, and cargo for Russia sails from there with transhipment towards St Petersburg or Novorossiysk; beef travels in reefer containers. Air freight from Managua via a hub suits cigars and urgent consignments. The transit time depends on the connection and is confirmed in each quote.
We work for Nicaraguan producers and exporters whose customers are in Russia and the CIS. We organise collection from your warehouse, factory or plant, arrange export formalities and phytosanitary or veterinary documents, book reefer, dry 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 every booking.

What suppliers ship from Nicaragua to Russia
Nicaraguan suppliers ship green coffee, cigars, beef and sugar. Beef needs veterinary certificates and the producing plant must be eligible to supply Russia; cigars are excisable and can be imported only by licensed importers with excise stamps; coffee and sugar need phytosanitary certificates.
Export formalities
The Nicaraguan export declaration is lodged at Corinto or at the airport of dispatch, by your customs agent or arranged by us, and you keep a copy as proof of export. Some Nicaraguan individuals and entities are subject to US and EU restrictive measures, so all parties are screened before booking. In Russia we clear the goods for your buyer.

A commercial invoice with HS codes, prices and Incoterms, a packing list, the Nicaraguan export declaration and veterinary or phytosanitary certificates, depending on the goods.
