DHL, FedEx and UPS Alternative: International Express Delivery from Russia for Business
International express carriers DHL, UPS, FedEx and TNT have limited their direct operations with Russia, and familiar schemes for shipping documents and commercial cargo no longer work. A-NET LOGISTICS is a legal alternative: express delivery of documents and shipments up to 100 kg from Russia to 170+ countries and back via a partner network of logistics operators, with full customs clearance and complete paperwork for legal entities.
Why Companies Look for a DHL, FedEx and UPS Replacement
Direct routes unavailable
Shipping documents and cargo with international express operators from Russia is limited: working schemes involve intermediaries, third countries and lengthy approvals.
High prices and hidden fees
Classical operators' tariffs on international shipments have risen, and the final cost with surcharges often becomes known only after the cargo is accepted.
Challenges for legal entities
You need a contract, invoice, closing documents and clear customs handling — few operators offer this full cycle for a Russian company.

Customs clearance included in the tariff — declarations, HS codes, duties and VAT
Shipments up to 100 kg — documents, samples and commercial batches
