Exporting Your Product To Europe and Russia
Whether you are just looking around to get your products on store shelves and showroom floors overseas, or you are an experienced exporter in need of streamlining your international shipping logistics, there are a few things that you need to consider before making your next move.
Quantity
First, figure out how much of your product you will need to ship. Consider whether you are shipping a large number of units, if you will need to ship full container, or if you only have enough to fill a partial portion of a standard shipping container. When attempting to calculate this metric, consider how often you will be needing to ship overseas.
If you plan on regular distribution, you will need to line up a specific type of courier, whereas if you plan on shipping irregularly, your shipping company many have more international hoops to jump through.
Size And Weight
How you choose to ship your products will depend greatly on their size-by-weight ratio. You need to factor in these specifications when choosing an overseas shipping agency, as they will need to know if your account requires a full shipping container or a partial one.
Full Supply And Distribution Chain

it is crucial that you consider more than just getting your product safely into port. From the shipping docks, you need to arrange a distribution chain that will deliver your shipment right to where it needs to be.

that will handle the orchestration of all aspects of your overseas shipping. Remember, getting your product into port is only half the battle. Find a reputable firm that has experience navigating the tricky tangle of multiple customs bureaus to get your product on international store shelves.
