FAQ about rail delivery
How long does rail delivery from China take?
Rail is a compromise between the speed of air and the cost of sea; transit time depends on the route and the border crossing (Zabaikalsk, Dostyk and others). Taking break-of-gauge transshipment at the border and customs clearance into account, we will quote a realistic timeline.
What can be shipped by rail?
Rail is suitable for a wide range of goods, from container consignments to oversized cargo; special rules apply to dangerous goods. We will check in advance whether your goods can travel by rail and on what terms.
Is transshipment required at the border because of the different track gauge?
China and the EAEU use different track gauges, so a transshipment or bogie change is carried out at the border. We factor this into the timeline and logistics so there are no unexpected delays.
Is customs clearance included in rail delivery?
Yes, we handle it on a turnkey basis: rail transport plus customs clearance (HS code, calculation of duties and taxes, permits and certificates). We clear the cargo right away, with no idle time.
How is the cost of rail freight calculated?
It depends on the type of shipment (container or wagon), the volume and weight, the route and the border crossing. We will calculate the cost for your consignment and recommend the best shipping option.
