How Sanctions Are Changing India–CIS Trade

Sanctions have not stopped trade — they have reshaped it. Indian exporters are seeing growing demand for alternative suppliers across sectors such as machinery, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and consumer goods.

However, trading with CIS markets now requires:

  • Strong compliance procedures – verifying end-use and end-users to avoid sanctions risk.
  • Verified business partners – thorough due diligence on importers and intermediaries.
  • Reliable payment channels – navigating alternative banking corridors and currency settlements.
  • Carefully selected transport routes – using multimodal options that bypass disrupted infrastructure.

The TransRussia X Y&H Cargo Report explains how exporters can successfully manage these challenges and maintain consistent delivery performance.

Excellent report summary. The emphasis on compliance is spot-on — we've seen many shipments delayed due to incomplete documentation. The logistics breakdown for air/sea/land is very useful.

Has anyone used the land corridors via Central Asia recently? We're exploring routes through Kazakhstan to Russia. Would appreciate any insights on transit times.

The payment channels part is critical. We've switched to multi-currency settlements and it's helped. Y&H Cargo's experience in this area is well known.
