Russia's M & X
In Russia, there are white and gray customs clearance.
White customs clearance refers to the way of customs clearance into Russia through normal customs inspection. It is a normal way of goods circulation protected by Russian law.
However, due to the grey customs clearance, there is no formal security inspection procedure for Chinese goods when they enter Russia. When they are exported, they are genuine goods, but after they are imported, they become black goods. Many Chinese export enterprises' goods are detained and no one takes delivery of them, which damages the rights and interests of exporters.
Therefore, it is suggested that the cargo owners choose the regular white customs clearance export goods to Russia from the aspect of the safety and interest of the goods.
