Trinity Shipping arranges LCL (less-than-container-load) cargo delivery by railway from China to Russia. Railway is the optimal balance between sea freight (cheaper but slower) and air cargo (faster but expensive). Transit time from major Chinese hubs to Moscow is 18–25 days.

Customs clearance and door-to-door delivery included in one contract.
Railway LCL is the ideal choice when your shipment weighs between 50 and 5,000 kg and does not justify a full container. If you need the goods faster than sea freight can deliver (45–55 days) but the urgency does not warrant the premium of air cargo, railway provides the best balance of speed and cost.
Typical cargo profiles include consumer goods, electronics, auto parts, textiles, cosmetics, household items and industrial components. The service is particularly popular for e-commerce sellers and distributors who need regular restocking without committing to full container volumes.
If your shipment is under 50 kg, consider our courier service. For volumes above 5,000 kg or more than 20 CBM, a full container by railway may be more cost-effective.
LCL (less-than-container-load) railway shipping is a service where multiple smaller shipments from different shippers are consolidated into one container and transported by rail from China to Russia. You pay only for the space your cargo occupies, not for the entire container.
Transit time from major Chinese hubs (Yiwu, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Shanghai) to Moscow is 18–25 days. Delivery to other Russian cities (Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg, Kazan) may vary by 2–5 days depending on the destination and route.
We accept shipments starting from 50 kg or 0.5 CBM. For smaller parcels under 50 kg, our courier service may be a better option. The optimal range for railway LCL is 50–5,000 kg; above that volume, a full container is usually more cost-effective.
Yes, customs clearance is included in the full-service package. We prepare and file the customs declaration, handle inspections if required, pay duties on your behalf and release the cargo. You receive a fully cleared shipment ready for delivery.
Most commercial goods can be shipped by railway LCL: consumer electronics, textiles, auto parts, cosmetics, household goods, machinery components, building materials and more. Restrictions apply to dangerous goods, perishables requiring temperature control, and items prohibited by customs regulations. Contact us with your product details and we will confirm eligibility.
