We specialize in customs clearance and provide services for handling goods of any complexity. Our experience covers a wide range of products, including cosmetics, clothing, perfumes, medical devices, spare parts, equipment, and much more.

Many of our clients impose strict requirements on reporting systems and the quality of customs brokerage services, and we fully meet their expectations.

Customs Brokerage Services in Vladivostok

Most goods cleared through customs in Vladivostok arrive by sea transport. In the Russian Far East, we provide customs brokerage services at the seaports of Vladivostok, Vostochny, and Nakhodka.

The sea route from China to Vladivostok is the shortest, which explains why most goods entering the Primorsky Krai ports originate from China.

Since 2020, customs clearance of goods transported by sea is conducted at the Vladivostok Customs Post of the Vladivostok Customs Authority.

A key peculiarity of clearance in Vladivostok is the time difference. The customs office in the Far East begins its working day when it is late night (2 a.m.) in Moscow. We process goods according to local time, so if an inspector requests additional documents or information, we have enough time during the working day to address the request and ensure same-day release without delays.

Another characteristic of clearance in Vladivostok is the predominance of Chinese-origin goods. For buyers, this means lower costs, while for customs, such goods require special value control.

One more specific feature is the difficulty of the consignee’s presence during inspection procedures. Therefore, it is important to choose a broker who has representatives at the customs posts. The representative can attend inspections on your behalf, monitor the process, and promptly inform you of any discrepancies.

If your cargo is transported by road or air, we can also select the optimal clearance option and assist with customs formalities.
