Why is customs more expensive for individuals?

When shipping goods internationally, customs clearance and duties are inevitable. But few people know: individuals pay significantly more than companies. For example, in Ethiopia, if the value of a shipment is $12,369.46, the duty for an individual is $4,499.73, while for a legal entity, it's only $1,853.31. Why is this?

1. Businesses need incentives—low rates facilitate trade. 2. Legal entities are under strict government control, so there are fewer risks to the budget. 3. High duties for individuals restrict commercial trade under the guise of personal parcels. Customs regulations are an economic tool. They create conditions for business growth, while barriers for private shipments are created to maintain market balance. Therefore, it's always worth calculating duties in advance before international shipping—this will help avoid unpleasant surprises. Advice from logistics experts:

– Always clarify the recipient's status (individual/legal entity) – this directly affects the amount of duty;– Ask the client for an exact invoice – customs calculates payments based on it;– Check the tariffs of the destination country before shipping – each country has its own legislation and approach to calculating duties;– If the cargo is being shipped for commercial purposes, it is more profitable to register it under the name of a legal entity;– Be sure to factor in additional costs: taxes, processing fees, and storage;– Keep all documents – this will help avoid delays at the border.

What pricing formulas should be used to ensure businesses are prepared for both tariff records and rollbacks?

The Russian freight transportation market finds itself in a paradoxical situation. On the one hand, demand is growing steadily: according to PEC data for September 2025, it increased by 7%, while the ATrucks indicator shows a persistent imbalance in favor of carriers. Traditional seasonal factors and the reduction in the key rate have whetted retail appetites. However, the main driver of growth is a shock—the mass return of equipment to lessors. More than 30,000 vehicles have already been repossessed, and approximately 10,000 more are at risk. This has created an artificial capacity shortage, pushing the market from a deep surplus into a transport affordability crisis.

And it's precisely at this moment, as the industry struggles to find a delicate balance, that it is hit with a "triple whammy" of regulatory changes planned for 2026. Starting March 1, only those who successfully register with the Unified Electronic Register of Carriers and Forwarders on the GosLog platform will be able to operate legally. Simultaneously, the patent tax system for freight transportation is planned to be completely abolished starting January 1, which will impact hundreds of thousands of small businesses and self-employed drivers.

In this regard, Logirus decided to find out:

• Will the fuel shock and shortage of carriers trigger a long-awaited recovery in tariffs, or is the announced increase just a seasonal blip?

• How will the transition from the patent system to the general taxation system affect tariffs?

• And what new approaches to pricing are carriers forced to look for?

The KMZ Cargo company (part of the military-industrial holding Kinigsepp Machine-Building Plant) OSK won the tender, according to which it was necessary to organize for Russian Museum two transportations of equipment from different places to Kursk Museum of Local HistoryEach of these operations required unconventional solutions and a high degree of coordination.

The first point is – Maria Feodorovna's Farm pavilion In Tyarlevo. The main challenge was limited access: heavy-duty trucks couldn't drive directly to the loading area. The problem was solved using a crane-mounted truck—the cargo was first loaded onto it and then onto the truck. Two trucks were successfully loaded this way.

The second loading took place on the territory Mikhailovsky Castle Under rather challenging conditions. The cargo had to be picked up from the third floor using only one passenger elevator, which could accommodate no more than 5-6 units at a time. A loading specialist from KMZ Cargo organized a team of four loaders to maximize efficiency; however, due to limited space and the need for careful handling, the process still took approximately 24 hours.

The difficulties that arose did not become an obstacle for the specialists of KMZ Cargo OSK, who were able to complete all the work efficiently and on time. Thanks to the team's professionalism and coordinated work, the shipment arrived on time. Kursk Museum of Local History without damage, and the client noted the high level of organization and responsibility at all stages of transportation.

According to Alexey Likhachev, Russia and China will set a new record for container cargo volumes along the Northern Sea Route this year. The volume could exceed 400,000 tons.

"It should be noted that, in this sense, Russian-Chinese cooperation along the Northern Sea Route is growing at an even faster rate. For example, if we talk about the volume of container shipments, it initially doubled in 2023-2024, and now it has increased by approximately another 60%," he said.

We previously reported that on September 15, for the first time in history, a transit container voyage passed through the Northern Sea Route.

There is no minimum order, making the service accessible even for micropayments: for example, 100 yuan for product samples before signing a large contract.

The Russian Export Center (REC) has launched a specialized service for settlements with China, a REC representative announced at an industry webinar for foreign trade participants.

The system allows Russian companies to accept export payments from China at a fixed commission of 0.1% of the transaction amount, based on the Central Bank exchange rate. For import transactions, the rate is slightly higher – up to 0.5%, but the REC expects to reduce it for larger volumes. As a representative of the center emphasizes, a key advantage is the lack of a minimum transaction amount, making the service accessible even for micropayments: for example, 100 yuan for product samples before signing a large contract.

Operations are completely removed from US control, as settlements are conducted in a ruble-yuan system. The Russian Export Center (REC) makes payments in yuan within China, and in Russia, companies receive rubles. This model operates outside the dollar infrastructure, making it immune to sanctions pressure.

Payments are processed twice a week, and funds are credited to Russian companies' accounts within two business days. If a Chinese partner transfers funds on Tuesday, the exporter receives the ruble equivalent in Russia on Thursday or, in exceptional cases, Friday.

Participation in the project requires the Chinese counterparty to be located in one of China's 12 special jurisdictions. These include Anhui, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. These provinces are home to Russia's key manufacturing partners. The geographic restriction is due to the specifics of Chinese tax legislation: companies from these regions can send and receive yuan without incurring VAT liability for domestic transactions, preserving their ability to claim tax refunds.

As a reminder, the reason banks in Heilongjiang Province (China) suspended settlements in Russian currency in September 2025 was a radical upgrade to the regional payment platform. At that time, this affected banks that were part of the region's unified cooperative system.
