These directions are traditional, economic ties have developed over a long period of time, in the European direction and in the CIS countries there is a developed road network that facilitates the transportation of cargo. These advantages make cargo transportation by road one of the most accessible and economically feasible types.

International transportation by sea is one of the cheapest. This transport is widely used for the delivery of container cargo from Asian countries, North and South America and other countries with seaports. Sea transportation in the European direction is no less in demand. As a rule, during sea transportation a combined mode of transport is used: road-sea-vehicle. First, the cargo is delivered to the port by road, then delivered by sea from port to port, and then reloaded onto a vehicle for subsequent delivery to the recipient's warehouse. So, for example, delivery to Russia can be carried out through the ports of the Baltic states, Finland, Russia (St. Petersburg, Ust-Luga, Novorossiysk, Rostov-on-Don, Vladivostok, Nakhodka and other sea ports of Russia).

International transport by rail is also very popular.

International air transportation is no less popular. This type of transport is popular for small, urgent, and perishable goods. Delivery is carried out through the main airports of Russia: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Vladivostok, etc. For large volumes of cargo, this type of cargo transportation becomes impractical due to its high cost.
