Russian customs clearance can generally be divided into white clearance and gray clearance. White clearance refers to the normal entry method through Russian customs and is a logistics transportation method protected by Russian law. Gray clearance refers to goods with a destination address in China that have successfully passed Chinese customs, but if the goods need to clear Russian customs, due to the complex clearance process, some people may need to handle special procedures. When you request customs clearance, the customs clearance company performs the clearance, but the company profits from a series of procedures, unilaterally correcting product types and quantities, etc., resulting in exported goods being legal when imported from China but becoming illegal upon arrival in Russia.

However, although gray clearance is faster and less expensive than white clearance, it carries many risks. White clearance transportation methods typically include rail transport,Maritime Transportationcombined transport, sea freight,Air Transportationand delivery.
