Freight forwarders must join the register by April 29, otherwise – a million

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The state requires all freight forwarders operating as of March 1, 2026, to legalize their operations within 60 days. Olga Lapina announced the exact cutoff date: those late by midnight on April 29 will be fined.

The mandatory freight forwarder register, which comes into effect on March 1, 2026, will subject market participants to stiff fines of up to 1 million rubles for operating outside the list, said Olga Lapina, a second-class adviser to the Russian State Civil Service and a PhD candidate in economics, during the "Big Conference on EPD," organized by Astral Group.

According to the expert, despite the lack of approved forms and formats, all companies engaged in freight forwarding activities will be required to undergo the state registry procedure. Those already operating on the market as of March 1, 2026, are required to submit notification within 60 days of that date. Olga Lapina clarified that the deadline, according to her calculations, will be April 29, 2026, at 24:00.

The speaker emphasized that the verification of the information provided will be carried out through interagency cooperation. Regulatory authorities will send inquiries to the Federal Tax Service to confirm the legal entity's registration and compliance with all applicable requirements. The registration procedure itself is stated to be free for businesses.

The expert emphasized the serious financial risks for violators. If a company continues to operate as a freight forwarder without being included in the register, it faces an administrative fine of 100,000 to 300,000 rubles. For repeat violations, the penalties are stricter, with fines reaching up to 1 million rubles.

As a reminder, Olga Fedotkina, Executive Director of the National Union of Experts in Transport and Logistics, proposed introducing a two-year moratorium on fines for freight forwarders under the article "Failure to fulfill obligations stipulated by the legislation on transport and forwarding activities" of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Dear friends,

From October 7 to 11, 2026, together with our general partner, Sozvezdie Cruise Line, we invite you to embark on a new and unusual cruise on the ship "Little Prince." Unlike traditional cruises, here, every guest becomes a co-author of the journey.

This cruise's guests will vote on their preferred stops along the route, onboard entertainment, and even the "Captain's Dinner" menu. The only constants will be the starting and ending points (Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod), the care provided by Sozvezdie, and sparkling wine for breakfast!

Voting will take place at the beginning of the voyage. Each cruise participant will find a ballot in their cabin where they can indicate their preferences. The votes will be counted by an election committee in the presence of independent observers—it will be for real!

Myshkin or Uglich, yoga or Zumba, Mafia or Perudo, what kind of set menu will be served for the "captain's dinner"—there will be no set script on this cruise!

We ourselves are interested in what most travelers will choose and what the cruise will turn out to be like.

We invite you to write history together!

To maintain the price with the current seasonal discount, simply make a 35% advance payment, with the remainder due no later than 30 days before the start of the cruise.

The prices for cruises on our website include the early booking benefit of up to 7% (for bookings made before March 15, 2026).

CRANE VESSELS ARE THE KEY TO ARCTIC PROJECTS.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Crane vessels are the key to Arctic projects

The Northern Sea Route is a logistical challenge where standard solutions don't work. Large-scale projects in the Arctic require a special approach.

Why is a crane vessel the ideal solution for the NSR?

– Independence from ports. No need to build berths – the vessel will load and unload your oversized cargo right at the shore.– For the most complex cargo. Modules, equipment, structures – anything that won't fit in a container.– Speed and control. All operations under the control of a single crew. Fewer connections, fewer risks.– Safety in ice. Special ice class for confident navigation along northern routes.

What do we need to know to calculate your flight?

Simply send:• Weight and dimensions of the cargo• Type (dangerous, fragile, requiring special conditions)• Packing List• Points A and B

Our logisticians will select a vessel, plan a route, and calculate door-to-door delivery times.

How do we save you money?

We utilize return voyages and consolidate cargo. Empty vessels don't sail, reducing your shipping costs.

KMZ Cargo knows how to deliver cargo from China with maximum profitability.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: KMZ Cargo – KMZ CARGO –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Chinese partners often offer a comprehensive solution: the price of the product includes both production and delivery. While this may seem convenient, this simplification leads to additional, unobvious costs. In such circumstances, the 22% import tax to Russia is calculated not only on the product but also on logistics.

The KMZ Cargo company (part of the military-industrial holding Kinigsepp Machine-Building Plant) recommends, in accordance with Article 164, paragraph 2.1 of the Russian Tax Code, accounting for international logistics services separately from the purchase of goods. A contract for the production or purchase of equipment, which includes the cost of only the goods themselves, is concluded separately from the contract for transportation services. This approach allows for the provision of international transportation logistics services at a zero VAT rate in accordance with the Russian Tax Code. After rendering services, KMZ Cargo provides a full package of documents confirming the international shipment, which is processed at a zero VAT rate.

The company's specialists are knowledgeable about international shipping and its regulations, ensuring the fastest and most cost-effective delivery possible. KMZ Cargo is your reliable partner for international freight transportation!
