Road freight from Italy to Russia
Most road freight from Italy to Russia comes from the north: Lombardy, Veneto and Emilia-Romagna ship machinery, furniture, tiles and fittings. A dedicated truck from Italy to Moscow starts from €6,500 per trip and takes 7–10 days door to door. We collect from your factory, lodge the EX1 on your behalf and send you the MRN as proof of export.
Groupage consignments from 50 kg are brought through Austria to our Warsaw warehouse and leave with the weekly load to Moscow. Tiles and stone are priced by weight: a standard euro trailer takes about 20 tonnes of them. Before collection we screen HS codes and parties against EU sanctions, so you know the order can ship before you commit production.
Route and corridor

A truck loaded at your premises anywhere in the EU and driven without intermediate warehouses: from €4,500 Warsaw → Moscow, from €6,200 from Slovenia, from €6,500 from Italy.

Tips for suppliers
- Tiles, stone and other dense goods fill a truck by weight, not volume — plan orders around roughly 20 tonnes per trailer.
- Crate or palletise furniture and fragile items for transhipment: groupage is handled several times on the way.
- Italian suppliers often sell EXW — that is fine, we lodge the EX1 for you.
Frequently asked questions
How much does road freight from Italy to Russia cost?
Groupage (LTL) starts from €850 for three pallets from our Warsaw warehouse to Moscow, plus collection to the warehouse priced by distance. A dedicated truck (FTL) costs from €6,500 per trip Italy → Moscow. We do not quote per kilogram: groupage is priced by places and pallets, a truck per trip. The EX1 export declaration is a separate line: €150 when lodged at our Rotterdam warehouse together with our shipment, from €450 when filed remotely. Insurance starts from 0.3% of the invoice value, and the minimum service fee is €200. Send the collection address, weights and dimensions and we reply with LTL and FTL options within 2 hours.
How long does a truck from Italy take to reach Moscow?
7–10 days door to door on average (route: collection → Austria → our Warsaw warehouse → Brest → Moscow). Groupage waits for the weekly consolidation to close at the warehouse; a dedicated truck leaves as soon as it is loaded. Most of the variation comes from queues at the border and customs clearance in Russia. From Moscow we deliver on to St Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Kazan, Novosibirsk or any other city.
Who lodges the EX1 and how do I get proof of exit?
We do, on your behalf — also when you sell EXW. You provide the commercial invoice and packing list; we issue the CMR, lodge the EX1 and send you the MRN. Once the goods leave the EU, the exit is confirmed electronically and you keep it as evidence for zero-rating the VAT on your sale. Your buyer in Russia handles the Russian import declaration and EAC certificates with our help.
How much tile or stone fits in one truck from Italy?
In a standard euro trailer about 20 tonnes, so dense goods like tiles and stone are loaded by weight long before the space is full. A dedicated truck from Italy to Moscow starts from €6,500 per trip; smaller lots go as groupage via Warsaw.
