Russian transportation services differ from domestic transportation services in many aspects:

Transportation range and routes:

Domestic transportation is mainly concentrated between provinces and cities in China. The routes are relatively dense and mature, covering most cities and villages, forming a complete transportation network. For example, there are multiple transportation methods available between cities such as Beijing to Shanghai and Guangzhou to Chengdu, and the transportation frequency is high.

Russia's transportation services include both domestic and international transportation. In terms of international transportation, there are trade exchanges with many countries, and the transportation routes may cross different climate zones, geographical environments and political regions. For example, the transportation of goods between Russia and Europe, Asia and other countries needs to consider factors such as customs regulations and transportation infrastructure of different countries.

Transportation methods and characteristics:

There are various domestic transportation methods. Road transportation is flexible and convenient, and can provide door-to-door service, which dominates medium and short-distance transportation; railway transportation is suitable for large-volume and long-distance cargo transportation, such as coal, ore, etc.; air transportation is fast and is mainly used for the transportation of high-value and urgent goods; water transportation plays an important role in coastal and inland areas, with low cost and large volume, suitable for bulk commodity transportation.

Russia has a vast territory, and railway transportation occupies an important position in domestic transportation. Its railway network covers a wide range and is the main mode of transportation connecting various regions. In addition, Russia has developed pipeline transportation, which is used to transport energy resources such as oil and natural gas. In international transportation, Russia's sea and air transport also play an important role. For example, its ports play an important role in trade transportation with Europe, Asia and other regions, while air transport is widely used in the international transportation of some urgent and high-value goods.

Transportation time and cost:

Domestic transportation time is usually faster, especially between economically developed and conveniently transported areas. For example, express delivery between some major cities may be delivered in 1-3 days. The transportation cost is relatively low. Due to the fierce competition in the domestic transportation market, various transportation companies have reduced costs by optimizing operations and improving efficiency, so that consumers can enjoy more affordable transportation prices.

The timeliness of Russian transportation services is affected by many factors, such as geographical environment and climatic conditions. In some remote areas or when the winter climate is severe, the timeliness of transportation may be greatly affected and the transportation time of goods may be extended. In terms of transportation costs, international transportation involves cross-border procedures and transportation regulations of different countries, so the cost is relatively high. For example, when transporting goods from Russia to China, it is necessary to consider international freight, customs clearance fees, insurance premiums, etc.

Policies, regulations and customs procedures:

Domestic transportation mainly follows relevant domestic transportation policies and regulations. The transportation management of various regions is relatively unified. When enterprises and individuals transport goods domestically, the procedures are relatively simple, mainly involving some basic transportation contracts, cargo lists, etc.

Russian transportation services need to comply with international trade rules and customs regulations of various countries in terms of international transportation. The import and export of goods involves complex customs procedures, such as customs declaration, customs clearance, inspection and quarantine, etc., and the customs requirements and procedures of different countries may vary. Taking ATA exhibit transportation as an example, exhibits shipped from Russia to other countries for exhibitions need to handle specific ATA carnets to ensure convenient customs clearance and duty-free treatment of exhibits during temporary import and export, which is generally not required in domestic transportation. For Saudi Arabian exhibit transportation and Egyptian exhibit transportation, etc., it is also necessary to handle the corresponding customs procedures and documents according to the specific requirements of each country.

Infrastructure and service quality:

In recent years, China has continuously increased its investment in transportation infrastructure, and has made remarkable achievements in infrastructure construction such as roads, railways, airports, and ports. Transportation equipment and technology are constantly updated, and service quality is gradually improving. For example, the newly built highways are in good condition, high-speed trains on railways provide a more comfortable riding experience, and logistics companies are also paying more and more attention to providing efficient and accurate cargo tracking and distribution services.

Russia's transportation infrastructure has uneven development in some regions. The transportation network in some regions is not dense enough and the facilities are relatively old. However, the infrastructure in major cities and important transportation routes is relatively complete. In terms of service quality, Russian transportation companies are also constantly working hard to improve, but overall there may be a certain gap between the service level of some developed regions in China, such as real-time tracking of goods and timeliness of information feedback.
