## FAQ

### How long does delivery from China to Russia take by air, truck, rail and sea?
Transit times are 2–7 days by air, 10–14 days by truck, 25–30 days by rail and 35–45 days by sea — these are the ASAP TRADING figures, counted from the moment the batch leaves the warehouse in China. On top of transit you should allow time for purchasing the goods from the supplier, receiving and consolidating them at the warehouse in Guangzhou or Yiwu, and customs clearance with final delivery in Russia. Seasonal peaks such as Chinese New Year and the 11.11 sales, plus border-crossing congestion, shift the dates. The schedule for your specific batch is confirmed by an ASAP TRADING manager.

### What does turnkey delivery from China actually include?
Turnkey delivery at ASAP TRADING includes supplier search and verification, buying the goods, paying the supplier through the company's account at VTB Shanghai, quality control with a photo and video report, consolidation at the company's own warehouses in Guangzhou and Yiwu, customs clearance, and delivery to the client's warehouse. In other words, the shipment is handled from the factory floor to your warehouse door. The importer does not need to open a currency account or hire a separate carrier, broker and inspector — one company covers every stage. Terms for a specific shipment are agreed

### How do I pay a Chinese supplier from Russia in 2026?
The practical route is to pay through a company that holds an account in a Chinese bank: you settle in roubles, and the factory receives the money inside China. ASAP TRADING pays the supplier through the company's own account at VTB Shanghai, so the client does not need to look for workaround channels or open a currency account. Direct transfers from Russian banks are often delayed or returned because of compliance checks, and crypto or private exchangers leave you without proper accounting documents. The procedure and terms for a specific payment are confirmed with an ASAP TRADING manager.

### What is the difference between cargo shipping and official import?
Under cargo shipping the forwarder charges one all-in rate per kilogram or cubic metre and handles the border formalities, so the consignee does not file a declaration in its own name; under official import the importer declares the goods itself, pays duties and VAT, and receives a customs declaration naming its company. Official import is what you need to reclaim VAT, supply chain retail, and sell branded or certified goods legally. The simplified route starts faster but leaves almost no product documentation behind. Customs clearance is part of ASAP TRADING's services — which scheme suits yo

### How can I check that a Chinese supplier is real and not a scam?
Start with the business license: registered name, registration number, registration date, capital, and whether the licensed scope of activity actually covers the goods being sold; the name on the license must match the payment details exactly. Then separate a factory from a trading company by asking about production lines, export history and samples. The single biggest red flag is a request to pay a private account instead of the company's corporate account. ASAP TRADING offers supplier search and verification as a service, plus quality control with a photo and video report; an in-person facto

### What is cargo consolidation and why does it make shipping cheaper?
Consolidation means goods from several suppliers are collected at one warehouse and sent as a single load, so you pay for one combined weight and volume instead of several small separate shipments. ASAP TRADING runs its own warehouses in Guangzhou and Yiwu, where the boxes are received, counted, checked with a photo and video report, and sent out as one batch. For an importer buying from five or six suppliers at once, this also means one arrival date and one set of documents instead of six. It is the default working scheme rather than an extra option.

### How is the cost of shipping from China calculated?
Freight is charged on the greater of actual weight and volumetric weight. Volumetric weight is length × width × height in centimetres divided by 6000 — the air-freight standard; a divisor of 5000 is used by express couriers. The other key figure is density: batch weight in kilograms divided by its volume in cubic metres — dense goods are priced per kilogram, bulky light goods per cubic metre. ASAP TRADING has a calculator on the site for a preliminary estimate; the exact rate is confirmed by a manager.

### What is volumetric weight and why am I charged for air, not weight?
Volumetric weight is a billing figure that reflects the space a shipment occupies, because on any vehicle the volume runs out before the payload does. It is calculated as length × width × height in centimetres divided by 6000, the air-freight standard; express couriers use 5000. If a box measures 60 × 40 × 50 cm, its volume is 0.12 m³ and its volumetric weight about 20 kg — if the goods inside weigh 8 kg, you still pay for 20. That is why tighter cartons and less void filler directly cut the bill on light bulky products.

### Which shipping mode should I choose — air, truck, rail or sea?
Choose by value density and urgency: air (2–7 days transit) for expensive compact goods, samples and urgent restocks; truck (10–14 days) for regular consolidated replenishment; rail (25–30 days) for large planned batches of medium-density goods; sea (35–45 days) for heavy, bulky, low-margin volume where the per-kilogram rate dominates. All four figures are transit time only — purchasing, consolidation and customs clearance are added on top. A common approach is splitting an order: part by air to keep selling, the bulk by a slower mode. ASAP TRADING works all four modes and a manager calculates

### Which goods are restricted or problematic to ship from China?
Three categories cause most of the trouble. Goods with lithium batteries — power banks, electronics, e-scooters — count as dangerous goods, require MSDS and UN38.3 documentation, and are limited or refused by air. Liquids, aerosols, cosmetics and chemicals need safety data sheets and usually move by ground. Branded items require the rights-holder's permission; trademarks entered in the customs IP register are stopped at the border. Whether a specific product can be shipped, and by which mode, is clarified with an ASAP TRADING manager before purchase.

### What happens if the supplier ships defective goods?
It depends on where the defect is found: if it appears during acceptance at the warehouse in China, the issue is raised with the supplier before dispatch; if it surfaces in Russia, the case is reviewed with a manager on the basis of the acceptance report. That is why most defects are caught before export — returning goods to a Chinese factory after clearance usually costs more than the goods themselves. At the ASAP TRADING warehouses in Guangzhou and Yiwu the batch is counted and inspected, and the client receives a photo and video report covering quantity, packaging, appearance and completene

### What documents are needed for customs clearance of goods from China?
The standard set is the foreign trade contract with annexes, commercial invoice, packing list, transport document (air waybill, CMR, rail waybill or bill of lading), proof of payment to the supplier, and a customs declaration with the correct HS code. The HS code determines the duty rate, VAT and which permits apply. Many consumer categories — electronics, children's goods, textiles, food-contact items — additionally require EAEU conformity documents obtained before release for free circulation. Customs clearance is part of ASAP TRADING's turnkey service; the exact document set for your produc

### Is cargo from China insured?
Yes, a shipment can be insured — insurance is arranged separately from freight and covers loss or damage in transit, normally based on the invoice value of the batch. It does not cover manufacturing defects, wrong specification or supplier fraud; those are addressed by pre-shipment inspection, which at ASAP TRADING is done at the Guangzhou and Yiwu warehouses with a photo and video report. Insurance is used more often on sea and multimodal routes than on short road consignments. Whether and on what terms a particular shipment can be insured is confirmed with a manager.

### Where should I source — Guangzhou or Yiwu?
Source in Guangzhou for complex, higher-value goods made to your own specification, and in Yiwu for large assortments of inexpensive items in small lots. Guangzhou, in Guangdong province, is the hub for electronics, appliances, apparel, footwear, furniture and cosmetics, with the Dongguan and Foshan manufacturing clusters nearby and higher minimum orders. Yiwu, in Zhejiang, is the world's largest small-commodity market: household goods, stationery, toys, accessories, seasonal and gift items from thousands of vendors. ASAP TRADING has its own warehouses in both cities, so purchases from either 

### Can I buy on 1688, Taobao or Pinduoduo and ship to Russia?
Yes — ASAP TRADING buys goods on Chinese platforms on your behalf. Those marketplaces are built for the domestic market: sellers do not accept foreign cards, do not ship abroad and communicate only in Chinese. You send the product links, the company buys the items and pays through its account at VTB Shanghai, receives the parcels at its warehouse in Guangzhou or Yiwu, checks them with a photo and video report, and consolidates everything into one shipment to Russia. No Chinese card or yuan account is needed on the client's side.

### How do I start working with a forwarder — what is the first step?
Message WhatsApp or call +7 999 963-16-39 (Telegram and MAX also work) and send the product links or description, the approximate quantity, your target date and the destination city. A manager clarifies the product category, suggests the shipping mode and the payment procedure, and then confirms the cost and terms. For a preliminary estimate there is a calculator on the ASAP TRADING site — the exact rate is confirmed by a manager, since it depends on cargo density, product category and route. Support works around the clock, and the company's representative office is in Moscow.
