Moving to Russia

When moving to Russia, our experienced team can help you ship your belongings. Transport to Russia, based on the location, is possible by lorry or by plane. Please note that strict customs requirements apply to the import of your belongings and you will need to pay taxes in almost all cases. A Transpack employee can inform you about the required documents and what you should take into account.

The costs of moving to Russia

The cost of road transport is much less than air transport. In addition, it is also highly inadvisable to use air transport for large consignments; only very small removals and those required at short notice are advisable.
