Fireworks shipment to Russia officially stopped?

March 22, 2022

We have been observing difficulties with container transportation of fireworks by sea since 2020.
SuperFireworks Co., LTD honestly and timely tells our readers about all the situations related to the transportation of pyrotechnics.
New rules were adopted, bans on certain fireworks products were introduced, documents were changed and the cost of delivering pyrotechnics increased with cosmic speed.
Nevertheless, after overcoming 7 circles of hell, fireworks suppliers still received containers and sent fireworks to Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.
Since March 1, the situation has greatly worsened.
Insurance companies refuse to cover the risks for containers that are sent to Russia, Ukraine or Belarus.
This is due to the untimely unloading of goods, as well as the return of the container itself to the line.
The largest shipping company for sea container transportation "Maersk" has officially announced a temporary restriction on the transportation of goods to Russia, Ukraine or Belarus.
Following the "Maersk", the "MSK" line also announced a similar restriction.
Companies stop the transportation of any cargo, with the exception of humanitarian, food and medicines.
Ocean Network Express and Hapag Lloyd also introduced restrictions.
Does this mean the end of the fireworks business in Russia?
Not at all, there are well-established ways of supplying fireworks to Russian companies.
China has land borders with Russia, through which it is possible to export fireworks by cars and perform all customs procedures.
Also, the border with Kazakhstan is used for transportation by suppliers of fireworks from China.
There is no reason to panic, however, in the season of sending fireworks, you can expect long queues and a shortage of vehicles.
If you have a finished product and you are thinking about shipping to Russia, contact us and get a detailed consultation.
