Shipping goods from Turkmenistan to Russia
Turkmenistan’s suppliers mainly ship textiles, petrochemicals and agricultural produce, with goods reaching Russia by road in transit through neighbouring countries. We collect from your premises, prepare the export declaration with the national customs authority on your behalf and send you the export evidence for your records, while your Russian customer receives the goods cleared through Russian customs and delivered to their door.
Turkmenistan is not a member of the EAEU, so the goods travel under customs transit and go through full import clearance in Russia, with duties and VAT paid by your buyer. Transit times depend on the route and the border crossings and are confirmed 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.

What suppliers ship from Turkmenistan to Russia
Suppliers in Turkmenistan typically ship textiles and cotton products, petrochemicals and agricultural produce. Petrochemicals may be classed as dangerous goods requiring ADR transport and a safety data sheet, textiles and clothing need Chestny ZNAK (Honest Sign) labelling for Russia, and produce needs phytosanitary certificates. We check each HS code before accepting the cargo.
Export formalities
Turkmenistan is not in the EAEU, so the export is declared with the national customs authority, the goods move under transit through the countries on the route, and full import clearance follows in Russia: customs declaration, duties and import VAT paid by your buyer, and any product certificates. We prepare the export declaration on your behalf and clear the goods in Russia through a registered customs representative.
