Market Overview

The Russian market underwent a fundamental shift after 2022 sanctions on Western brands. Cat, Komatsu, Volvo new-equipment sales effectively ceased, and Chinese brands (Sany, XCMG, SDLG, Lonking, LiuGong, Lovol) rapidly captured market share. Today over 70% of new excavator imports to Russia are Chinese.

Used Chinese machines from China are now the dominant import flow. Used Western brands (Cat, Komatsu, Hitachi) are still imported but face supply constraints and customs complications. We focus our Russia exports on Chinese brands where the supply chain is cleanest.

Vladivostok is the closest port to China — 8-12 days FOB Shanghai. From Vladivostok, machines transit overland to St. Petersburg, Moscow, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, and beyond. Russian-language documentation provided at no charge.

Frequently Asked Questions — Russia

Can I still buy Cat or Komatsu used machines for Russia? +

Possible but complicated. Customs clearance for sanctioned-brand machinery faces additional scrutiny and parts availability is unreliable. We strongly recommend Chinese brands for Russian customers.

Is the Russian Ruble payment acceptable? +

No — we accept USD or RMB only. RMB direct payment via Chinese banks is now common for Russian buyers and avoids USD compliance issues.
