Customs and import duties in Belarus
Shipments to Belarus clear customs at Port of Klaipėda (transit). Duties and taxes depend on the type of goods, their value, and local regulations. Always declare the real value and provide a clear invoice; this speeds up clearance and avoids penalties. Our team guides you on the documents required for your type of shipment. Duties and taxes in Belarus are paid in the local currency (Belarusian Ruble (BYN)).
What you can (and can't) ship
You can ship most personal and commercial goods to Belarus, including electronics, clothing, auto parts, building materials, and non-perishable items. Some items are restricted or prohibited:
- Flammable, explosive, or hazardous items
- Cash and high-value items without insurance
- Perishable goods without proper packaging

Air freight or sea freight to Belarus?
Air freight arrives in about 5–10 business days: ideal for urgent packages, electronics, and documents. Sea freight, via Port of Klaipėda (transit), takes about 2–5 weeks but costs much less for barrels, furniture, cars, and large cargo. Because Belarus is landlocked, sea cargo is unloaded at Port of Klaipėda (transit) and then moves overland to Minsk, so allow extra time for this inland leg.
Costs and delivery times
Pricing depends on weight, volume, transport method, and the final destination in Belarus. Sea freight is often charged by volume (CBM) or per box, while air freight is charged by weight. Request a free quote for a clear price with no hidden fees.
Packing and labeling tips
Good packing protects your shipment on the long journey to Belarus:
- Use strong boxes or plastic barrels
- Reinforce corners and seal well
- Label each package with the receiver's name and phone
- Photograph valuable contents before shipping
