Russian customs dispute support for China logistics routes

I review Russian customs and related payment disputes where the transport file matters, including the route, handovers, carrier records and other logistics documents tied to the specific China-to-Russia shipment.

Russian side of the transaction

When the problem arises in Russia

I review what happened to the goods, payment, documents or clearance in Russia and which records support the actual sequence of events.

Parties involved

Each participant's role matters

I separate the roles of supplier, buyer, carrier, warehouse, bank, customs authority and other parties where their actions are relevant to the dispute.

01

Freight forwarder

Explain the route and carrier file accurately, and keep any statement about the importer’s position within what the transport records support.
