Road freight from Hungary to Russia
Budapest, Győr and Kecskemét are Hungary’s centres of mechanical engineering and automotive component production. Hungarian consignments travel north through Slovakia and Poland to the Belarusian border and reach Moscow in 4–6 days door to door. We collect from your premises anywhere in Hungary, lodge the EX1 export declaration on your behalf and send you the MRN as proof of export for your VAT records.
Groupage from 50 kg is consolidated at our Warsaw warehouse and leaves with the weekly load, from €850 for three pallets Warsaw → Moscow plus collection by distance. For a full load we send a dedicated truck straight to your plant. HS codes and all parties are screened against EU sanctions before collection, so you know the shipment can go before you produce it.

Frequently asked questions
How much does road freight from Hungary 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) is quoted per trip for your route. We do not quote per kilogram: groupage is priced by places and pallets, a truck per trip.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 Hungary take to reach Moscow?
4–6 days door to door on average (route: collection → Slovakia → Poland → 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.
Can a dedicated truck collect from several suppliers in Hungary?
Yes. A dedicated truck can load at two or three plants along the route, for example in Győr and Budapest, and then run to the border without passing through a warehouse. For small lots, groupage via Warsaw is usually better value.
