Shipping from Dubai to Russia
Full containers, vehicles, machinery and air cargo from Dubai to Russia, screened against current sanctions and export rules, cleared and delivered by our network partner office in Russia.
Overview
Shipping from Dubai to Russia
MegaSpeed Cargo ships full containers, vehicles, machinery and air cargo from Dubai to Russia. Sea freight leaves Jebel Ali for Novorossiysk, St Petersburg or Vladivostok, depending on the carriers accepting bookings, and air cargo flies to Moscow. Our network partner office in Russia handles customs clearance and delivery, and we confirm the current transit time with each quote.
Fewer shipping lines serve Russia than before, so routings change often. Novorossiysk on the Black Sea is the usual gateway for cargo from the Gulf, St Petersburg serves the north-west and Moscow region, and Vladivostok serves the Far East.
Every Russia shipment is checked before booking. We screen the goods, the buyer and the end user against current sanctions and export control rules, and we decline cargo we cannot legally move. Send us the details and we will tell you quickly whether we can take it.

FAQ
Shipping from Dubai to Russia: common questions
How long does shipping from Dubai to Russia take?
It depends on the routing and the sailing. Sea freight to Novorossiysk takes several weeks, and air cargo takes a few days. We confirm the current transit time with each quote.
Do you have an office in Russia?
We work with a network partner office in Russia that clears and delivers our clients' cargo. Our Dubai team manages the booking, export clearance and your updates.
Can you ship anything to Russia?
No. We screen every shipment against current sanctions and export control rules, and some goods, buyers and end users cannot be served. Send us the details and we will tell you before you commit.
Which ports do you use for Russia?
Usually Novorossiysk on the Black Sea, with St Petersburg and Vladivostok when the delivery address suits. It depends on which carriers are accepting bookings.

Some cars can be shipped, but export rules bar certain vehicles, and the recycling fee and customs payments are high. Send us the car details before you buy.
Is there a minimum for air freight?
Yes, 45 kg chargeable weight. We are a freight forwarder, not a courier, so we do not move documents or small parcels. Chargeable weight is the actual weight or the volumetric weight, whichever is higher.
Do you ship to Russia from China?
Yes. We ship from Chinese ports and airports to Russia as well as from Dubai.
