Some logistics companies overcharge, are unable to provide sufficient transportation and containers for shipping cargo, and are unable to process international payments. Under sanctions, importing goods has become significantly more difficult and expensive than before—especially if the shipping route is complex. To avoid paying three times as much, you need to carefully select a logistics company. We’ll explain how to do this using TIS LOGISTICS as an example.

Imagine this: today, one company arranges for a ship to transport a shipment of spare parts from Japan. Then a second company handles customs clearance when the goods arrive in Russia. And a third company prepares to deliver them by train. Having multiple contractors complicates the process and communication, and also increases the risk that a force majeure event will occur at one of the stages.

To avoid problems, it’s best to choose a company that will handle the entire process. When an organization has a well-established supply chain and the carrier coordinates all activities, you don’t have to worry about your shipment or waste time coordinating with each carrier.

“TIS LOGISTICS” provides comprehensive turnkey logistics solutions, customs clearance, insurance, and warehousing services. The company handles the entire supply chain for your cargo, from the warehouse where it was picked up to your delivery location. You don’t need to coordinate delivery dates, times, or costs with various transport providers, because the experts at “TIS LOGISTICS” have already arranged everything for you.

In the context of sanctions and constantly changing international relations, reliable and long-lasting relationships with foreign partner companies are one of the key advantages. This includes benefits in transportation, the assurance that goods will be delivered and not disappear after payment, and the ability to jointly explore opportunities when a country imposes restrictions on foreign trade. For example, if a country's authorities prohibit the export of a specific category of goods directly to Russia, the carrier may be willing to find alternative solutions.

During its time at TIS LOGISTICS, the company has established strong relationships with more than 20 shipping lines and agents in Russia and abroad, and has also developed its own network of importer partners for contract-based shipments. The company works with all terminals, ports, and border crossings in Primorsky Krai. This means your cargo is guaranteed to be delivered from any Asian country.

The more independent a logistics company is, the better. Smaller logistics providers often cannot handle sufficient volumes for a client. At first, they say that everything has been taken care of. But then it turns out that the container contractor doesn’t have enough containers for transport, or that the equipment, for example, doesn’t meet the storage requirements for sensitive cargo.

As a result, delivery times are extended. Therefore, when looking for a logistics provider, pay attention to companies that have grown steadily over many years and built up a substantial operational base. For example, during its time in business, TIS LOGISTICS has built up its own fleet of 1,400 containers, so there will certainly be no shortage of equipment. In addition, the company has the equipment necessary to transport even oversized and super-heavy cargo weighing 300–700 metric tons.

Even the most well-organized routes and well-established procedures can run into problems. If goods are lost or damaged during transport, someone must be held accountable.

“TIS LOGISTICS” can insure your cargo through a partner company that monitors the safety of your property and assumes full financial liability. The company offers flexible rates depending on the type of cargo and the terms of its storage and delivery.

Experience in the logistics services market is no empty claim. The longer a company has been in business, the more unusual situations it has encountered—and the more connections it has built. This means it will find ways to deliver the necessary cargo on time, with high quality, and at minimal cost.

Over the course of 18 years in business, TIS LOGISTICS has grown into a large company with a staff of over 200 employees and branches in 8 cities across Russia. The company’s managers are always available to assist you and are ready to answer any questions you may have regarding transportation.

“TIS LOGISTICS” has held active memberships in ARE, FIATA, and JCTRANS for several years. Membership in these associations entitles the company to issue international transport documents, specifically the FIATA International Freight Forwarding Bill of Lading. The company has weathered crises and sanctions, successfully overcoming them and establishing a seamless transportation chain with countries in the Asia-Pacific region even under strict restrictions.

“TIS LOGISTICS” works with small, medium, and large businesses. The company helps transport vehicles and auto parts, heavy equipment, construction materials, textiles, machinery, and production lines for plants and factories, and specializes in hazardous materials.
