Route and transit time for shipping from Saudi Arabia to Russia
Russia has three gateways from the Kingdom: the Black Sea in the south, which is the nearest, the Baltic in the north, and the air to Moscow. The choice follows the delivery city, the type of shipment and the lines operating at the time.
| Route | Sailing or flight time | Door to door | Suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sea to Novorossiysk | 12 – 18 days | 25 – 35 days | The south, Moscow and the centre |
| Sea to St Petersburg | 25 – 35 days | 35 – 45 days | The north-west |
| Air to Moscow | Hours, usually with a stop | 3 – 7 days | Personal effects, parcels and the urgent |
Why “confirmed at the time of the request”? A number of shipping lines and airlines have stopped or changed their service to Russia in recent years, and payment restrictions shift. So we check what is available in the week of your shipment, then fix the price and the date.
Cost of shipping from Saudi Arabia to Russia
At Home Safe the price is worked out per container for a full sea load, per cubic metre for a part load, and per kilogram by air. Send the type, weight and volume of the shipment and the delivery city to 0552803439, and you will have the price once the route is confirmed.
| What sets the price | Its effect |
|---|---|
| The route and carrier available | The biggest factor, and it changes from month to month |
| Arrival port | Novorossiysk is nearer and cheaper than St Petersburg |
| Transport within Russia | Distances are long: Moscow is about 1,500 km from Novorossiysk |
| Type of goods | Anything needing a certificate of conformity or a licence adds cost and time |
| Insurance | Optional, and advised on this route |
To work out your shipment’s volume use the volume calculator, and container dimensions are on the container sizes page.
Preparing the shipment for a long, cold journey
- Packing: tougher than usual, as the shipment is handled more than once and passes through low temperatures in winter.
- What freezing affects: liquids, cosmetics and some foods. These go by air, or outside winter.
- Pallets: heat-treated wood bearing the ISPM 15 stamp.
- Labels: the consignee’s details in Latin or Russian letters, with the package number and count.
- Product label: consumer goods need details in Russian and the Eurasian conformity mark.
Air freight from Saudi Arabia to Moscow
Air freight from the airports of Jeddah, Riyadh and Dammam to Moscow’s airports delivers the shipment within 3 to 7 days, with most flights stopping at an intermediate airport.
- For whom: students’ and relocation effects, parcels, samples and urgent goods.
- How it is charged: on chargeable weight, the greater of actual and volumetric. Work it out with the volumetric weight calculator.
- Price: the per-kilo rate falls as the weight rises. Ask for it on 0552803439.
- What does not go by air: hazardous materials except by special arrangement, and batteries under the carrier’s conditions.
Details are on the air freight page.
Russian customs and the documents required
Russia is a member of the Eurasian Economic Union, so its customs and standards are unified with Kazakhstan, Belarus, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan.
| Document | Note |
|---|---|
| Commercial invoice | With the true value, the currency and the delivery term |
| Packing list | The number of packages, their weight and dimensions |
| Bill of lading | In the registered importer’s name |
| Certificate of origin | From the chamber of commerce |
| Eurasian certificate or declaration of conformity | For many products, and obtained before shipping |
| Supply contract | Between exporter and importer, asked for by the bank and customs |
- The importer: a company or individual registered with a tax number in Russia.
- Charges: customs duty by tariff heading, and VAT at the rate in force.
- Payment: agree the payment channel with the importer before shipping, as that is what sometimes stalls, not the shipment.
The documents are explained on the required documents page.
Prohibited and restricted goods for Russia
- Restricted by export rules and sanctions: some technologies, equipment and their parts. Carriers refuse them even where the country of origin does not ban them.
- Needing a licence: medicines, radio devices, encryption devices and chemicals.
- Foodstuffs: with health and veterinary certificates, and some items are banned from import.
- Prohibited in general: unauthorised hazardous materials and counterfeits.
Send a description of your goods before booking, and we will check they are accepted by the carrier and at customs. The general list is on the prohibited items page.
Shipping cars and personal effects to Russia
- Cars: shipped inside a container to Novorossiysk. Their charges are high: a customs duty worked out on age and engine capacity, and a recycling fee that rises with both. So work out the full cost before buying.
- Relocation effects: the holder of a Russian residence permit has a one-time exemption on their used belongings, with conditions.
- Students’ effects: cartons by air or consolidated sea freight, with a contents list.
- What does not go among personal effects: new devices in quantity, as they are treated as goods.
Both services are covered on the car shipping and furniture and household shipping pages.
Delivery in Russian cities
