Any export transaction usually consists of two parts: customs registration and delivering of a cargo and its insurance.
 Chinese customs begins with your contract. There is a paragraph on the documents required to be submitted by supplier along with the goods. This paragraph should be maximum precise – another words – every point should have its exact name both in English and in Russian.

Customs registration

Proper design of commodity-shipping and customs documents is the key to the success of any import-export operations, especially if a party to a transaction in favor of such a "difficult" partner, what is without doubt the Chinese counterpart.
The first thing you should pay attention at the time of preparation of the contract - this is a list of documents that will accompany your goods to their destination (in the contract for the supply of this must be a dedicated point). If you miss something, then get the document after the fact would be difficult, and in some cases impossible at all, since some certificates can be issued only until the goods have gone beyond the factory gate, since they require prior expert assessment. Besides, your partner for quite legitimately will not do extra work if you are him about this writing is not asked, which is quite logical.
The minimum list of documents attached to the product looks like this:

1.Price list, certified by the Chamber of Commerce (TTP) or the Ministry for Foreign Economic Development of China (IWA) - the original
2. Invoice - Original
3.packing list - original
4.Bill of lading (konasament) - a good copy
5. Export Declaration - a good color copy o
6. Translation of the export declaration (in English), certified in TTP or MVR
7. Certificate of Origin Form "A", certified in TTP or MVR
8. Certificate

In addition you must have:

9. Contract with applications (preferably also certified in TTP or MVR)
10. Copy of passport deal, sealed by the company
11. swift payment (subject to contract, which indicate the amount of prepayment)
12. Transport Agreement (with the breakdown: "to Russia" and "on the RF")
13. Certificates Russia
14. If the price is "lower risk", then provide an analytical background, in which: links to Internet sites of your counterparty and websites of Chinese companies producing similar goods, information gleaned from official sources and other direct and indirect data proved that the announced price is average in China. In addition you can refer to their contracts, where the selling price will be higher than purchasing no more than 25% (taking into account all costs and trade margins). Better yet, seek expert opinion about your product from the Russian Chamber of Commerce:

Having all these documents, of course, does not guarantee you a smooth passage through customs  but significantly reduces the risk of being subjected to CTS (adjustment of customs value in the RF)  and completely "on white", without additional cost.

If everything is ok than you will have to perform customs clearing at the country of destination and get your cargo at minimal financial losses.
West Union regular clients prefer to avoid all the difficulties regarding delivering and customs clearance and book a special complex service – “door-to-door”.

Delivering of goods from China

The main rule of successful cooperation with Chinese suppliers is to keep everything under control from the very beginning to the very end.  Especially you should pay much attention to the process of delivering.  Monitoring of cargo delivering throughout the whole export transaction is the only guarantee of its safeness.  The logistic chain consists at least from 3 parts: loading of cargo to containers at a factory, transporting it to the harbor or railway station, customs registration and delivering, customs clearance in the country of destination.
One should keep in mind that it’s very important to make a check up before delivering:  package safety, correct marking, conformity of the goods transport documents to the number and scope and then to make sure that all the goods are found in containers and safely returned to port.

 Cargo insurance

Despite the fact that the technology of international traffic, its modern technical equipment and computerization, the constant improvement of means of transportation make delivery of goods over long distances more reliable, fast and cheap, the risk of loss and damage of the cargo still remains. Especially frequent violations of the integrity of the packaging, product defects, and its deficiency in containers arriving from China. Therefore, we recommend you not to neglect the services of insurance that will minimize your risks at relatively low cost. The standard package of insurance services which includes compensation for losses caused by partial or complete loss of the goods or damaged for various reasons will not cost you a sum which usually does not exceed 1% of the value of the goods.
Such favorable conditions West Union Group offers to its clients due to long-term partnerships with many Russian and international insurance companies.
