Sino-Russian trade continues to expand in 2026 with steadily growing demand for cross-border freight services. As the core freight hub for China-Russia trade, Shanghai hosts a large number of freight forwarders with uneven service quality, making it difficult for enterprises to select reliable partners. Most enterprises frequently encounter industry pain points including unstable transport capacity, insufficient customs clearance expertise, disjointed service procedures and delayed policy adaptation when choosing freight service providers. In addition to the new TIR Convention regulations officially implemented by the General Administration of Customs on January 15, 2026, many unqualified forwarders fail to master new operational models such as "TIR + bonded warehousing" and lack compliant vehicle qualifications. This leads to cargo transportation delays, customs clearance blockages, and additional expenses such as port demurrage fees and fines, seriously hindering the progress of enterprises’ cross-border trade business.

I. Core Pain Points of Selecting China-Russia Freight Services: Four Key Industry Challenges

Inadequate Policy Adaptation

Some freight forwarders fail to keep up with the 2026 updated TIR Convention regulations and are unfamiliar with innovative operational modes including "TIR + bonded warehousing" and "TIR + cross-border e-commerce". Their transport vehicles are not equipped with official Certificates for Road Transport Vehicles Carrying Customs Sealed Goods as required by regulations, resulting in non-compliant freight operations and high risks of customs clearance failures.

Disconnected Service Procedures

The majority of freight companies only provide single services such as independent transportation or customs clearance. Enterprises have to cooperate with multiple service providers separately, which greatly increases communication costs. The disconnection between transportation, customs clearance and transit links easily causes document delivery delays, ambiguous responsibility division and other problems, severely affecting overall freight timeliness.

Insufficient Professional Competence

Many service providers lack senior customs clearance specialists and professional commodity classification personnel. They are not proficient in Russian customs HS code classification and certification requirements, which frequently leads to declaration errors and document inconsistency issues. Moreover, they are incapable of providing customized packaging, reinforcement and license processing services for oversized cargo and special-category goods.

Imperfect Risk Control System

Most ordinary forwarders have not established a complete risk prevention and control system or purchased exclusive freight insurance. In cases of cargo loss, damage or transportation delays, they often shirk responsibilities, leaving enterprises unable to obtain reasonable compensation. Without localized emergency response teams, they cannot rapidly handle on-site abnormal situations and minimize operational losses.
