I. Why is Road Transport the Preferred Choice for Machinery Exports?

In Russian cross-border logistics, road transport accounts for 65% of the market share (according to 2023 data from the Russian Federal Customs Service) due to its flexibility and cost-effectiveness. Particularly for machinery equipment weighing under 20 tons per unit, road transport offers:

• Door-to-door direct service, reducing 3-4 loading/unloading steps
• Real-time GPS tracking to monitor equipment status
• 40% faster average transit time compared to rail (Moscow to Novosibirsk takes only 6 days)

III. 3 Practical Techniques to Improve Customs Clearance Efficiency

Based on our experience handling transportation for 300+ CNC machine tools, we recommend:

? Pre-declaration Document Package Preparation:

In addition to standard invoices and packing lists, prepare Russian-language equipment technical parameter sheets (compliant with GOST certification standards) and certificate of origin documents (with chamber of commerce authentication)

? Special Cargo Handling:

For oversized equipment (length >12m/width >2.5m), obtain state-by-state transit permits in advance, with modular hydraulic axle trailers recommended as the transport solution

? Tariff Optimization Strategy:

Utilize Article 311 of the Eurasian Economic Union Customs Code to declare equipment functional parameters appropriately, potentially reducing import duties by 5-8%
