Russia & CIS:
Sourcing & Rail Freight from Xi'an
The China-Russia-CIS trade corridor is our core territory. Based in Xi'an, we help importers verify suppliers, manage quality control in China, and book reliable rail and road freight to Moscow, Minsk, and Central Asia — all through a single point of contact.
Who Needs This Setup?
Russian and CIS buyers who need solid China-side representation and execution beyond just a simple supplier list.
The Established Importer
You import regularly from China — machinery, electronics, industrial goods. You have suppliers, but you want someone local to verify quality before shipment and handle the logistics so you don't juggle five different contacts in two languages.
The First-Time Buyer
You know what you want to buy from China but you've never done it. You need help finding the right supplier, negotiating terms, and understanding how payment routing and export documentation actually work for the current Russian market.
The Multi-Country Shipper
You distribute across Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan. You need a logistics partner who can precisely route freight to different destinations — rail to Moscow, truck to Almaty — without starting a new conversation each time.
Three Functions. One Team.
We eliminate the friction between sourcing, QC, and logistics by managing all three in-house.
Supplier Vetting & Contracting
We verify the supplier's legitimacy — factory visit, production line check, business license review. We help negotiate pricing and structure payment terms that work. You buy from real manufacturers, not trading companies with a hidden markup.
- On-site factory audits
- Business license & legal verification
- Payment routing consultation
Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI)
We visit the factory before the balance payment is due. We conduct AQL 2.5 sampling inspections, verify technical specifications, check packaging, and supervise the container loading.
- AQL 2.5 quality sampling
- Russian-language label & manual check
- Container loading supervision (CLS)
Rail & TIR Trucking
From Xi'an, we book space on China-Russia block trains and arrange TIR trucking for time-sensitive or inland routes. We handle China-side export clearance; your local broker handles the import.
- Block trains to Moscow (Vorsino / Bely Rast)
- FTL / LTL cross-border TIR trucking
- Flawless China-side export customs
Russia & CIS Coverage
We route cargo through the most efficient rail terminals and land borders. Import clearance at destination is handled by your local licensed broker — we coordinate the handover seamlessly.

How We Charge
Factory invoice = your cost basis. Our service fee is separate and clearly stated.
Commission / Project Fee
A transparent percentage (typically 3–8%) on the factory invoice value, or a fixed fee for one-off supplier verification. You get the factory's original invoice.
Per Man-Day Rate
For factory audits and pre-shipment inspections. Travel costs within China are passed through at cost. You're paying for actual boots on the ground.
Flat Service Fee
We quote freight at market rates with our coordination fee separated. You see the carrier's price and our service fee as distinct items. No hidden spread.
