Container transportation from China

ATC C&L has been carrying out container transportation from China to Russia for more than 15 years. During this time, we have gained extensive experience in organizing shipments by containers: from agreeing on the place, time of submission and preparation of documents for export to cargo clearance anywhere in the Russian Federation and subsequent delivery to the customer’s warehouse. The delivery time by containers can vary from 14 days for delivery by express train from the center of China to Moscow to 45 days if you have chosen a route with transshipment in European ports.

We transport goods by sea and by rail, and we also combine transportation by sea and railway, and provide related turnkey services. By rail, we deliver goods in containers to Russia through the main checkpoints: Zabaikalsk, Naushki, Altynkol. We also carry out transportation of all types of containers from the main ports of China, including Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and Hainan Island through the eastern, southern and western ports of Russia. We work with dangerous goods, food and perishable goods that require special temperature conditions.

Types of transport

When planning routes, we give preference to rail or sea transport. The choice is due to the best ratio of time and cost of transportation. Delivery to the final destination «last mile» is carried out by cars.

  • Railway transport. Sending trains from Chengdu, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Changsha, Nanchang, Xiamen, Nanjing, Xi’an, Yiwu, Beijing and other stations. Travel time: from 14 days to 22 days (excluding delivery to the departure station and customs clearance of goods).

The cost of container transportation by sea or by rail is approximately the same, the flight schedule, the distance to the loading point, the volume and type of products are of key importance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to find and verify a supplier from China?

China has firmly established itself as one of the leading global manufacturers of a wide range of quality goods, competing with European countries and the USA, not only in the mass market but also in the premium segment. The industry is so developed that it allows completely organizing your production line, using advanced infrastructure, local raw materials, and cheap labor, placing orders with local production for manufacturing goods according to your design projects, or choosing from one of the millions of ready-made offers from local suppliers.

However, such a variety of opportunities, combined with the eastern mentality of potential partners, means numerous pitfalls, starting from the supplier search stage and ending with the legal nuances of transaction processing and subsequent relationships with the Chinese partner. Within the framework of FEA outsourcing, ATC C&L offers a separate comprehensive solution for those who want to establish business with China — searching for a manufacturer or supplier and accompanying the deal «turnkey».

The search for a manufacturer can be carried out according to several schemes: both comprehensively and considering that your company may only need some operations:

• the first stage of interaction is the processing of your application and individual consultation of the manager of the FEA outsourcing department;

• as a result of the negotiations, a personal manager is assigned to you, and an order is placed to search for a manufacturer or supplier of products. The cost of placing such an order is 1000 US dollars. Our specialist starts working immediately after receiving the prepayment;

• as a result of the search, we provide detailed data, catalogs, contact information, and websites of manufacturers of the goods you need;

• if necessary, for an additional fee, we organize the delivery of product samples from China or your visit to the manufacturer's factory;

• after choosing a supplier, you can independently continue to interact with the factory or entrust us with all the work on legal registration and transaction support;

• additionally, we offer services for quality control of production, acceptance, and packaging of finished goods, customs clearance, storage, and transportation of goods to Russia directly to your warehouse.

The cost of such complex services is about 3-7% of the amount of the signed contract. At the same time, the previously made prepayment is considered when conducting settlements. More than 75% of transnational companies in America and Europe have already appreciated the advantages of outsourcing. Today they fully entrust third-party logistics companies with comprehensive management of procurement and delivery on different continents. In the «Industry Solutions» section, you can familiarize yourself with successfully implemented cases and ready-made solutions for various business industries. Purchasing and delivering goods from China with the help of ATC Consulting & Logistics provides the main advantage — this is your peace of mind.
