Stages of organizing transportation by rail

1. Calculation and coordination of the route and cost of container or wagon freight transportation.
2. Sending goods across Russia or anywhere in the world by a transport company. Drawing up a contract for transport and forwarding services, instructions to the forwarder and, if necessary, an insurance policy for the cargo.
3. Coordination of the loading date and organization of delivery of containers/cars to the shipper's station or warehouse.
4. If necessary, export customs clearance of the customer’s products, sealing of wagons and containers.
5. Payment for wagonload or railway container transportation in accordance with the agreed rate.
6. Real-time monitoring of cargo movement. Control of border crossings, junction stations, transshipment points and ports during rail transportation.
7. If necessary, acceptance and transportation of cargo from the railway station to the recipient's warehouse.

What goods are intended for transportation in railway containers?

A railway container can be used to transport anything from personal items to industrial materials. Based on the physical properties and transportation conditions, several categories of cargo are distinguished.

1. Liquid: oil and its derivatives, chemical and food liquids, liquefied gas.
2. Bulk cargo consists of small particles: grain, crushed stone, sand, etc.
3. General cargo (or general) - single cargo that requires packaging, these are: rolling mechanisms, metals, products and others.
4. Regime - which creates special conditions - temperature, humidity, ventilation (for example, animals, perishable substances).
5. Dangerous: flammable, radioactive, explosives, poisons and others.

The main requirement for all types of luggage when transporting Russian Railways is dimensions; they should not be larger than the established dimensions; there are practically no other restrictions.

Many companies use this advantage to their advantage, which is why this method of transportation in business is gaining popularity. In this case, you need to take into account some subtleties:

• you need to think carefully about the route so as not to add cost to delivery;
• it is important to prepare the goods by packaging them and, if possible, protecting them from damage;
• if necessary, you should use the creation of special conditions and microclimate;
• you need to carefully select an insurance company, having understood the services provided;
• If valuable cargo is being transported, additional security at the train stop sites should not be neglected.

Required documents

A railway waybill is a document that serves as a contract for the transportation of a specified quantity of goods and raw materials. Contains data on points of departure and destination, address and name of the shipper and consignee, characteristics of the cargo, date of railway transportation in Russia, etc.

Transit declaration is a document that is necessary to place cargo under the customs transit regime. Contains information about the sender, carrier, declarant and recipient of goods, countries of departure and destination of cargo transportation, data on transported goods and documents on the basis of which they are transported.

Invoice is a document according to which the consignee pays for the delivered cargo.
