How Much Does It Cost Of Shipping A Container To Belarus?
When products are to be shipped internationally, there are a lot of factors involved which can pose a problem for informed individuals. Three Movers is available to relieve you of all the stress involved by helping you understand all these factors. Our service is available in Belarus. With the services that we offer, you can rest assured that your hauling is in perfect hands.
Factors That Affect The Cost Of Relocation
When shipping internationally, various factors must be considered concerning the cost of relocation. Of all these factors, five are most important, they are volume or weight of items, type of transportation to be used, the distance the shipment travels, destination port, and time of the year when shipping occurs.
You might be surprised at how the time of the year affects costs, but it does. There is a period from around August to October each year which is the busiest time of the year for shifters and retailers. Due to the higher demand for goods, transporting cost usually increase.
Which Size Of Container Works Best For Me?
There are essentially only two choices when it comes to selecting a container for your goods. The 20 and 40 foot containers are pictured here. Three bedrooms' worth of furniture, like 200 full-size beds, can fit in a 20-foot container. The 40-foot is the best option for moving bulky items.
Depending on the number of goods to be hauled, you can choose between Full Container Load (FCL) and Less Than Container Load (LCL). With FCL shipping, you have an entire container for all your shipments alone. With the LCL type of relocation, other shippers’ goods, along with yours, are hauled in the same container. These types of transporting vary in price, speed, security, flexibility, and availability.
Average Transporting Rates Estimates
FCL is best for transporting lots of boxes, pallets and anything which will require a full container transport of up to 45,000lbs.
Full Container Load (FCL) Shipping Rates | |
|---|---|
| 20 ft | $195 |
| 40 ft | $270 |
LCL is more affordable way to transport less than container load shipments to Belarus.
Less Than Container (LCL) Shipping Rates | |
|---|---|
| LCL | $42/CBM |
| Personal Effects | $395 |
| Household Goods | $340 |

Understanding The Different Types Of Freight Hauling
For the shipment of goods to Belarus, the options for freight transportation are either air or sea. These options are dependent on the price and time of delivery. While air freight is the better choice for the quick delivery of goods, it is more expensive than sea freight. So, if you want to save some cash, sea freight is the better option.
The amount of goods transported through sea freight is affected by the dimension of the goods, while transportation by air freight is affected by the weight.
Additional Shifting Costs
While some factors affecting relocating costs have already been identified, there are a few additional hauling costs that you need to consider:
- Custom duties
- Container inspection fees
- General Rate Increase
- Inland delivery charges
- Quarantine fees
- Insurance
When shipping to Belarus, the easier option to obtain your goods is by door-to-door service. This is because Belarus is landlocked so you might not have access to a port. Alternatively, you could decide to use an airport. With the second option, you will have to get your items personally from the place they are delivered to.

Frequently Asked Questions
You need a commercial invoice, packing list, Bill of Lading, and consignee identification. For contract shipments, Belarus customs may require a contract copy, bank transaction passport, certificate of origin, and product-specific certificates such as phytosanitary or EU health documents. Documents must often be translated into Russian or Belarusian. For international household goods under a global moving services plan, inventory accuracy is critical. Requirements vary by shipment value, goods type, and whether it is personal or commercial cargo.
A Bill of Lading is a legally binding transport document issued by the carrier confirming receipt of goods and the terms of delivery to Belarus. It functions as a receipt, contract of carriage, and document of title. For shipping a container to Belarus, errors in consignee name, cargo description, or port details can delay customs clearance. Whether moving a 20-foot or 40-foot container, accuracy affects release timing, duties, and final delivery scheduling.
Belarus restricts firearms, military equipment, narcotics, certain electronics with encryption, perishables, plant products without certification, alcohol above limits, and high-value jewelry without declaration. Sanctions and export controls may also apply depending on origin country. Used household goods must match the declared inventory. Before shipping to Belarus, verify classification codes and documentation. Prohibited items can trigger seizure, fines, or container holds at customs, increasing port storage and demurrage costs.
Customs duties are assessed based on product classification and customs value, while VAT in Belarus is typically 20 percent of the customs value plus duty. Tariffs refer to country-specific trade measures applied to certain goods. When calculating total shipping to Belarus costs, include freight charges, insurance, duties, VAT, customs brokerage, and port handling fees. Container size, cargo value, and declared use directly affect the final landed cost.
Cargo insurance is strongly recommended for international freight. Ocean carriers limit liability under international conventions, meaning reimbursement may be based on weight, not item value. An all-risk cargo policy covers loss or damage except listed exclusions. When arranging international moving and storage, insurance protects against port delays, rough handling, weather exposure, and theft. Coverage cost depends on declared value, packing method, and transit route.
Shipping a container to Belarus typically ranges from $3,000 to $8,000+ for a 20-foot container from major U.S. ports, with 40-foot containers costing more. Final pricing depends on origin port, inland trucking, container size, fuel surcharges, customs fees, insurance, and seasonal ocean rates. Port congestion and sanctions-related rerouting can affect transit time and cost. For broader price comparisons, review international moving costs, which outlines freight and logistics factors.
