Container transportation from India

The list of most frequently exported goods from India to Russia is dominated by various types of food products, as well as agricultural raw materials; jewelry, textiles, paper. The most convenient way to transport such goods is container transportation from India.

To carry out such transportation, the cargo is placed in a special container, hermetically sealed and loaded onto the vehicle, which actually carries out the transportation. For example, if goods need to be delivered from India to St. Petersburg or Novosibirsk, then it is advisable to use sea transport, but if you need to deliver from India to Moscow, then it is better to choose road transport.

Tariffs for international cargo transportation from India

Prices for cargo transportation from India to Russia are low, but the actual cost of cargo delivery depends on many factors:

• type of cargo, its characteristics, value;
• special conditions of storage and transportation;
• developed travel route;
• deadlines to be met;
• type of transfer, transport used;
• product range, volume of state duties;
• additional expenses, cargo insurance;
• transport company tariffs.

The average cost, including customs clearance, starts from $2 per 1 kg. weight. Air transportation costs range from $3.5 to $7 per 1 kg, sea freight costs range from $1-2 per 1 kg. In each specific case, delivery will be calculated individually, taking into account all the transportation features and client requirements. The approximate price for delivery can be calculated using the calculator on the transport company’s website.

Each delivery option has its own characteristics, pros and cons, so you should choose based on your needs and the rational ratio of price for the service, timing and convenience in a particular case. When transporting perishable products, it is better not to delay the delivery time, saving on transport, whereas if time is of the essence, you can save on shipping by sea.

Transportation of consolidated cargo from the United Arab Emirates is practiced quite often; consolidation warehouses are used, as usual, to store goods.

Any transfer method is always associated with a certain risk of loss or damage to cargo, so in some cases it is advisable to insure the goods being transported. Many transport companies include this type of service in their list, but you can also contact an insurance company yourself by concluding an insurance contract for the object being moved.
