How your cargo flies
From Australia it is mostly compact, high-value goods that fly to Russia: spare parts for mining machinery, instruments and laboratory equipment. The route is long, with a transfer in the Middle East, so we prepare the import documents in advance and the goods do not wait for clearance after arrival.

Air freight is charged by volumetric weight: length × width × height (cm) ÷ 6,000, i.e. 1 m³ = 167 kg; the higher of volumetric and actual weight applies. Collection, export formalities, terminal handling, customs clearance in Russia and delivery are added. Minimum service fee €200.
Restrictions to check in advance
Australia applies its own sanctions — checking the HS code and the parties is mandatory before payment.
Frequently asked questions
How long does air freight from Australia to Russia take?
6–10 days door to door: collection from your premises, export clearance at the departure airport, transit via Dubai or Doha, customs release at the arrival airport and delivery to your buyer. The Russian declaration is filed before the aircraft lands, so release usually takes hours rather than days.
How much does air freight from Australia to Russia cost?
We do not publish per-kilogram rates: the airfreight is charged on volumetric weight (1 m³ = 167 kg) or actual weight, whichever is higher, plus collection, export documents, terminal handling and customs clearance in Russia. There is no weight limit, and the minimum service fee is €200. Send us the dimensions and weight and we quote within 2 hours.
Who handles export clearance from Australia?
The Australian export declaration is lodged at origin. Australia has its own sanctions regime, so we check the HS code and all parties before your customer pays.
