Import into Belarus

The import tariff rate of Belarus is carried out in accordance with the legal provisions of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU).

Common customs tariff of EAEU is created in accordance with the principles of tariff escalation and effective tariff protection. In practice this is reflected in the establishment of the lowest duty rates on raw materials and the highest – for finished products and highly processed products.

Road Freight from China to Belarus

Road freight is the second fastest of all other modes of transportation after air. The timeliness of trucking is slightly less than air freight, but still higher than road freight and China-Belarus railway. With the high cost performance of road freight, the cost of land freight is much lower than that of air freight.

There are five European international highways in Belarus, with a total length of 1,841 kilometers. Two of them are the most important.

• One is the E30 highway (European Corridor 2, called M1 highway in Belarus), connecting seven countries including Ireland, Britain, the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Belarus, and Russia, passing through important cities such as Cork, Watford, Newport, London, The Hague, Hanover, Berlin, Świebodzin, Warsaw, Brest, Minsk, Orsha, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Chelyabinsk, and Omsk;
• The other is the E95 highway (European Corridor 9, called M8 highway in Belarus), connecting nine countries including Finland, Russia, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria, and Greece, passing through important cities such as Helsinki, St. Petersburg, Pskov, Vilnius, Vitebsk, Mogilev, Gomel, Kiev, Odessa, Kishinev, Bucharest, Plovdiv, Alexandroupolis, Thessaloniki, and Athens.

Rail Freight from China to Belarus

Rail freight has emerged as a viable and efficient alternative for transporting goods from China to Belarus. It strikes a perfect balance between cost and transit time, making it an attractive option for businesses looking to manage their logistics expenses without compromising delivery speed.

With the development of the China-Europe Railway Express, this mode of transport offers several key advantages. First, railway shipping is often faster than ocean freight while remaining more economical than air freight. Additionally, railway shipping provides a reliable and environmentally friendly option for transporting goods overland, with reduced carbon emissions compared to air transport.

A common route involves starting from various cities in China, leaving China via Horgos, passing through Kazakhstan, and entering Russia before arriving at the Minsk Railway Station in Belarus. This route allows for seamless connectivity and efficient customs clearance, contributing to shorter delivery times compared to traditional methods.

CFC takes care of the entire logistics process, from booking the appropriate trains to managing customs clearance and delivery at your chosen destination in Belarus. With our extensive network and expertise in railway logistics, you can trust us to ensure timely and secure shipment of your goods.

Freight trains to Minsk or Brest take about 12-16 days.

Air Freight from China to Belarus

For businesses looking to ship goods quickly from China to Belarus, air freight is the ideal solution. With transit times typically within a couple of days, air freight allows companies to meet tight delivery schedules and respond swiftly to market demand.

This service is particularly beneficial for shipping high-value items, perishable goods, or time-sensitive products that require immediate attention. Additionally, air freight minimizes the risk of damage due to shorter transit times, making it a preferred option for traders seeking reliability and speed in their logistics operations.

Belarus has 7 airports: National Airport Minsk, Minsk-1 Airport, Gomel Airport, Grodno Airport, Brest Airport, Mogilev Airport and Vitebsk Airport.

• Air China has launched direct flights from Beijing to Minsk.
• Belavia Airlines has launched direct flights from Minsk to Urumqi.

RUE “Minsk National Airport” is the main air gate of Belarus. It has an advantageous geographical location as it is situated at the intersection of the most important air routes connecting Western Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).

Several key factors influence air freight rates：

• Weight and Volume: The weight and dimensional volume of the cargo can significantly impact the shipping cost, as airlines often charge based on the greater of the two.
• Distance: Longer routes generally incur higher shipping costs, with additional fees for transfers and layovers.
• Seasonality: Demand fluctuations during peak seasons (like holidays) can lead to increased rates due to limited cargo space.
• Fuel Prices: Changes in fuel costs can also affect air freight rates, as airlines may implement fuel surcharges.
