Industry specific solutions VBK

Excise cargoes

VBK provides a full range of transport and customs services required for the import and export of excisable goods. In Russia and the CIS countries, the volume of production and import of alcoholic products, as well as cigarettes and other tobacco products shows a stable increase. An important factor for the development of the alcohol and tobacco industry is the attraction of investment and the arrival of major foreign manufacturers on the domestic market. Excisable cargo also includes fuel, cars and motorcycles with an engine capacity of more than 150 HP and motor oils. VBK helps its Clients to establish continuous delivery of excisable goods in intercity and international traffic.

Types of transported excise goods

  • ethyl alcohol;
  • alcohol-containing products;
  • alcoholic products;
  • tobacco products;
  • cars and motorcycles with an engine capacity of more than 150 HP;
  • gasoline, diesel fuel, motor oil.

Transportation of excise cargoes

Since alcohol and tobacco products are highly sensitive to external factors, specialized transport is used for their transportation. Transportation of alcohol and tobacco products is carried out using sealed, clean vehicles with a constant level of humidity and temperature. A common requirement is complete blacking-out of the cargo area. To ensure the integrity of fragile glass containers for alcoholic products, it is mandatory to fix the cargo on the vehicle. So, bottles with alcoholic products are packed in boxes before transportation, which are then placed on wooden pallets inside the vehicle. In order to prevent bottles of alcohol from breaking during loading and unloading operations, special lifts are used that easily lift loaded pallets.

Tobacco is allowed to be transported with other goods, but the list of such goods is limited. It is forbidden to transport tobacco products together with such loads that can lead to the forming of condensate inside the vehicle or otherwise violate the humidity level. Transportation together with foodstuffs is also not allowed. Packages containing tobacco and tobacco products must be marked with a special label.

Gasoline, diesel fuel and motor oils must be transported in vehicles with ADR permits, the Client provides MSDS for the cargo, which specify the UN code.
