Shipping goods from Trinidad and Tobago to Russia
Trinidad and Tobago is the Caribbean’s energy centre, producing petrochemicals such as methanol and ammonia as well as LNG, and it is also known for its fine-flavour cocoa. Point Lisas is the main industrial port, and container cargo for Russia sails with transhipment towards St Petersburg or Novorossiysk. Air freight from Port of Spain via a hub suits urgent consignments. We confirm the transit time in each quote.
We work for Trinidadian producers and exporters whose customers are in Russia and the CIS. We organise collection from your plant or warehouse, arrange export formalities, book sea or air freight and clear the goods through Russian customs for your buyer. Petrochemical products often count as dangerous goods, so we check classification and packing at the quoting stage. Shipments start at 50 kg, and air freight has no weight limit.

What suppliers ship from Trinidad and Tobago to Russia
Container shipments from Trinidad and Tobago typically include packaged petrochemical products and fine-flavour cocoa. Chemicals need safety data sheets and dangerous-goods documentation where applicable, and cocoa needs a phytosanitary certificate. Bulk LNG and chemicals shipped by tanker are outside the scope of our services.
Export formalities
The export declaration is lodged with the customs authority of Trinidad and Tobago at the port or airport of dispatch, by your broker or arranged by us, and you keep a copy as proof of export. In Russia we clear the goods for your buyer, who pays import duty and VAT.
