Vlad customs: what can we take in our shipping container?
Gidday everyone,
We're planning to head from Vladivostok to London in April, which means we're needing to ship our bikes from New Zealand in about a month's time. We've recently heard a couple of bits of info that we hadn't heard before that got us a bit worried:
1. We've been told we might need to get permission from Moscow for our bikes to enter Russia? And that this would need to be done BEFORE the container left New Zealand?
2. We've also been told we might not be able to take anything else at all on our container. We were hoping to pack our riding gear, spares and possibly our tents etc into our crates as well, but were warned this could result in everything being denied entry.
Has anyone had recent experience with shipping bikes etc into Vlad? Did you bring anything else with you? What documentation did you need? What permissions did you have to get?
Cheers heaps, fellas!
We've made contact with this guy Yuri in Vlad that someone recommended in a previous post re customs brokers. Does anyone else have other recommendations for who we could use to clear our bikes through customs?
Thanks - we appreciate the advice!!
