If anyone needs help with finance or import to FSU then there's pretty much nothing I don't know, I can help.

Ive read enough, financed enough to know, need help, just ask.

How is the Customs Clearance process there ? Is it very straight forward,
or lots of this and that in the last minute, plus lots of uncertainties when
container arrived in the port ?

Looks like my statement was slightly misleading, I know nothing about import to either Russia or Ukraine.

All clients I've ever dealt with do that part, I've either done an FOB to dock wherever or to Berlin.

As far as I understand this is because of import complications, something us foreign firms would struggle to get sorted anytime fast.

What's your intention? I have a few contacts that might help with certain things, but I only supply existing businesses there, I'm not attempting to create any direct retail or trading, I guess that could land you in hot water depending on country.

I really should read what I post (:)
