Trucking from China
When transporting a prefabricated cargo by road from China, the formation of a complete vehicle takes place at our agent’s warehouse at the customs warehouses near Changsha. In this case, delivery directly from the manufacturer on EXW terms is possible. Completion and exit of cars occurs at least once a week. The truck delivers the cargo directly to the customs office in Minsk (as a rule, “Minsk-BTS-2”). The transit time “warehouse of the Chinese agent – customs in Minsk” is about 20 days. Transit time can be increased if there are queues when passing the China-Kazakh border. Delivery from the main regions of the PRC to the warehouse of the prefabricated vehicle formation on EXW terms is carried out within 2-4 days.
Auto shipping from other Asian countries
Delivery from other Asian regions is also possible. In this case, the shipment goes as part of a prefabricated shipment to the port of Xiamen/Shenzhen, after which it is delivered to a warehouse in China for further consolidation into a prefabricated truck to Belarus.
Prices for transportation of consolidated cargoes by road transport
The cost of such transportation depends on the following factors:
type, weight, nature of cargo;
distance and complexity of the route;
delivery conditions according to Incoterms;
requirements of the customer.
Therefore, a different tariff is formed for each case. The carrier’s task is to offer the cargo owner the best option in terms of price and time.

Features of cargo transportation by automobile from China
- Taking into account the fact that a consolidated cargo, as a rule, is repeatedly reloaded from one vehicle to another, it is necessary to take care of proper packaging.
The most interesting in terms of tariffs is light-weight cargo, as the conversion factor of volumetric weight for road consignments is much higher than for the transportation of prefabricated cargo by rail.
It is possible to deliver some groups of goods that are not accepted for transportation by rail (some types of chemicals, cargoes with batteries, liquids).
Advantages of Cargo Transportation by Road from China
- Transit time is shorter than for the transportation of consolidated cargo by rail, especially in cases when train formation is seasonally slowed down, or during the period of increased idle time of containers at origin stations, as well as in cases of delays in crossing the border by rail.
Formation of the car is faster, i.e. the period of time from the moment of shipment at the sender’s warehouse to the direct exit of the car to the Republic of Belarus is reduced.
Possibility to deliver some groups of goods that are not accepted for transportation by rail (some types of chemicals, cargo with batteries, liquids, etc.).
Possibility to organize cargo delivery on any delivery terms (EXW / FCA / FOB, etc.) from any point using a wide network of internal consolidation warehouses.
