Commercial Cargo from the USA — Shipping and Customs Clearance | CDEK USA

Commercial cargo from the USA:
shipping, customs, and documentation

CDEK USA—the official franchise in New York. We handle the full commercial cargo cycle: from Brooklyn receipt to cleared goods at your warehouse in Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, or Kyrgyzstan.

Commercial cargo is a higher responsibility level

Unlike personal parcels, commercial cargo requires proper HS code classification, accurate value declaration, skilled documentation, and clear understanding of customs duties. An error at any stage—cargo delay or duty reassessment.

✓ Full customs support ✓ DDP—no extra fees at pickup ✓ Accounting documentation ✓ Personal manager

How commercial cargo differs from personal parcels

When an individual ships goods for personal use, simplified import rules with weight and value thresholds apply. Commercial cargo is entirely different—goods for resale or business use fall under general customs rules regardless of amount or weight.

This means mandatory declaration, customs duty and VAT payment, HS code confirmation, and—certain categories—additional permits or conformity certificates. Ignorance of these rules often costs entrepreneurs dearly—especially those new to US shipments.

⚠ Important to know before shipping

Declaring commercial cargo as personal (so-called “gray” import) is a customs law violation. If detected, goods are detained, administrative investigation is launched, and confiscation may occur. CDEK USA operates strictly within legal framework.

Pre-shipment analysis and customs duty calculation

Before shipping, we analyze product category, select HS code, and calculate customs duty and VAT. You know full import cost in advance—no unpleasant surprises at pickup.

2
Cargo receipt and inspection at Brooklyn warehouse

We accept commercial cargo from suppliers across the USA. We verify completeness, record item condition, and repack as needed for international transport. Receipt address: 3830 Flatlands Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11234.

3
Preparing shipping documentation

We issue commercial invoice with accurate item description, packing list, transport invoice, and declaration. Proper documentation is key to smooth customs clearance.

4
Shipping via optimal route

To Russia—via Turkey, UAE, or Armenia depending on current route and cargo type. To Kazakhstan—direct route with best rate from $11.50/kg. To Belarus and Kyrgyzstan—via transit countries.

5
Customs clearance and DDP delivery

All customs duties are included in the DDP rate. Cargo arrives at your warehouse or CDEK pickup point fully cleared—customs-compliant, documented, and ready for sale.

Why DDP is the right choice for business

DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) is not just convenience—it’s a financial planning tool. When sourcing commercial batches, you must know unit cost before crossing the border. EXW or DAP, where recipient pays customs, makes this impossible.

❌ Without DDP
  • Customs duties—surprise at pickup
  • Requires recipient-side customs broker
  • Risk of cargo delay due to documentation errors
  • Hard to pre-calculate unit economics
  • Responsibility for clearance—yours
✅ With DDP via CDEK USA
  • All duties and VAT included in advance price
  • Documentation handled by us—from start to finish
  • Cargo arrives fully cleared and ready
  • Unit cost known before shipping
  • Full responsibility on our side
Customs duty under “Standard” rate

Under the DDP rate, customs duty is 15% of declared shipment value. Calculated during order processing—you see the final amount before cargo dispatch. No hidden coefficients.
