Port forwarding in Novorossiysk is an important stage in the cargo handling chain. Competent preparation for this stage minimizes the risks of delays in loading or removal of the cargo and of penalties for the business. The company “BSF” offers a full range of port forwarding services, including documentation processing, representation of the consignor’s / consignee’s interests in the port and cargo processing, taking into account the specifics of the port and in full compliance with the legislation of the Russian Federation.
Forwarding in “import” mode
When cargo arrives from abroad, forwarding starts with meeting the container at the terminal and, if necessary, moving it to a temporary storage warehouse or yard. “BSF” specialists act as your representatives in the port of Novorossiysk, being present during customs and border inspections, submitting documents to quarantine authorities in due time, and arranging interaction with the port services. For our clients, the company’s forwarders arrange inspection, sampling, scanning (X‑ray inspection), and re‑stowage if required, recording the condition of the cargo. After completing the formalities, the cargo is dispatched from the port with a full set of documents, without the client’s personal presence – based on a power of attorney.
Our company’s range of intra‑port forwarding services includes:
- Checking the documents provided by the consignor;

If all documents are provided in advance, the standard forwarding procedure takes from 1 to 7 days, depending on the specifics of the cargo and the complexity of its formalities.
