DDP Shipping from China to Moscow

DDP Shipping from China to Moscow

As an international logistics specialist based in China, I frequently assist clients who need reliable, cost-effective, and time-efficient solutions for shipping to Russia—especially Moscow, one of the busiest destinations for cross-border trade. 

Among all available shipping options, DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) has become increasingly popular due to its convenience, transparency, and all-inclusive service structure.

In this article, I will professionally introduce the complete DDP transportation solutions from China to Moscow, including the East Line, West Line, transport modes, transit times, and important product considerations when choosing DDP.

1. What Is DDP Shipping to Moscow?

DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) is a full-service logistics solution where the seller—we as your logistics provider—handles every step:

l Export customs clearance in China

l International transportation

l Import customs clearance in Russia

l Payment of duties & VAT (if applicable to your product type)

l Final delivery to the customer’s address or warehouse in Moscow

For clients who want a one-stop, worry-free transportation service, DDP is the most efficient option.

2. DDP Shipping Routes: East Line vs. West Line

Shipping from China to Moscow typically follows two main corridors. The choice depends on delivery time, cost expectations, and product category.

2.1 East Line (Eastern Route)

Route:

China → Manzhouli / Suifenhe Border → Entry into Russia → Trans-Siberian Railway → Moscow

Transport Modes:

Railway  +truck

Transit Time:

Railway: approx. 18–25 days depending on customs load

Truck: approx. 16–20 days

Considerations:

During tight customs inspection periods or winter months, slight delays may occur

Product documentation must be accurate to avoid extended border inspections

2.2 West Line (Western Route)

Route:

China → Xinjiang (Khorgos or Alashankou Border) → Kazakhstan → Russia → Moscow

Transport Modes:

Railway  +truck

Transit Time:

Railway: approx. 20–28 days

Truck: approx. 25-30 days

Considerations:

Customs inspection between Kazakhstan & Russia may cause periodic delays

Not recommended for products with strict temperature sensitivity (depending on season)

3. Transportation Modes for DDP China → Moscow

3.1 Railway DDP

4. Important Notes for DDP Products

4.1 Product Compliance

Due to strict Russian regulations, the following must be considered:

l HS code accuracy

l Product certificates (EAC, GOST-R, etc. when required)

l Proper labeling and invoices

Incorrect documentation may result in customs detention or fines.

4.2 Prohibited or Restricted Goods

The following typically cannot be shipped by DDP:

l Hazardous chemicals

l Liquid products

l Branded goods with trademark restrictions

We always check your product details before shipping to ensure legal and smooth customs handling.

4.3 Packaging Requirements

To ensure safety during long-distance rail or truck movement:

l Use export-standard cartons

l Reinforce fragile items

l Avoid mixed goods in one carton if they require different declarations

4.4 Accurate Cargo Information

DDP shipments rely heavily on correct and detailed cargo data:
