EMS (ExpressMailService) is an express delivery service for letters and parcels. Departures are made to all cities of Russia and abroad in the shortest possible time. One of the main features of EMS is the delivery of items directly into the hands of the addressee.
EMS is an international service created back in 1998 and currently uniting 190 participating countries, between which it is possible to send items using this system. In Russia, the representative of this service is Russian Post.
Sending parcels, parcels and letters by express delivery is much more profitable financially and in terms of saving time.
Also, express mail delivery has other advantages:
- delivery of items by courier in person;
- the ability to accurately track the location of the shipment;
- wide geography of service (more than 40,000 post offices throughout Russia);
- Packing and delivery by courier is free.
Types of shipments and maximum weight of parcels
EMS shipments have certain restrictions on the weight and dimensions of the package. The total sum of the length, height and width of the packaged item must not exceed three meters, and the length of such a parcel must not exceed 150 centimeters.
EMS parcels sent within the Russian Federation may have a maximum weight of 31.5 kg, but other restrictions apply when sent to other countries. Thus, parcels weighing up to 20 kg are accepted to Spain, Australia, Poland, Ukraine and a number of other countries (a full list of countries can be found on the Russian Post website).
Parcels up to 10 kg are allowed to be sent to the Caicos States, Turks, Gambia, Cuba and the Cayman Islands. For all other countries, parcel weight is limited to 30 kg.
How to calculate EMS delivery
Depending on the destination, ems delivery will differ in price: the further the shipment is made, the more expensive the service will cost. You can calculate the exact cost of sending on the Russian Posts website using a special service.
Also, for an additional fee, the sender can arrange additional services:
- SMS notification of delivery of the parcel to the addressee;
- content inventory;
- indication of declared value;
- payment of the parcel by the addressee by cash on delivery.
Based on this, when sending EMS, delivery can be calculated with an accuracy of a few rubles.
Packaging EMS shipments
Before departure, the parcel must be properly packaged: this process requires compliance with certain rules.
But some nuances remain at the discretion of the sender, for example, the choice of packaging. The sender can pack the parcel in any soft shell, cardboard, wooden or plywood box, or polymer container.
It is necessary to take into account possible mechanical impacts on the cargo, so the packaging must be selected so that valuables are not damaged during shipment. But the packaging method when sent abroad should not deprive customs officers of the opportunity to inspect the cargo.
It is better to additionally protect any fragile and valuable items by wrapping them in appropriate packaging materials, while contact with the walls of the hard packaging and impacts on them should be avoided.
If liquids are sent, they must be packaged in such a way that during shipment their contents do not leak out due to mechanical stress. It is advisable to line containers with liquids with absorbent materials so that the liquid is absorbed by them in the event of damage to the main packaging,
Powdered substances have their own rules. Thus, dry coloring powders should be sent only in sealed metal boxes, which in turn are placed in durable boxes. Such boxes must contain appropriate protective material inside.
How to arrange express delivery
EMS shipments are processed at the post office. This procedure involves filling out documents using the following forms:
- Address Label (Form E-1).
- Form required when shipping more than 10 individually packaged items at a time (F 103).
- Customs declaration for goods (CN 23).
- Customs declaration for documents (CN 22).
The last two documents are filled out for shipments to other states.
EMS parcel tracking
EMS shipments, like valuable parcels, can be tracked using a track code that is assigned to the parcel upon registration. The Russian Post service will help you be aware of the location of your parcel: just enter the parcel’s track code in the appropriate field to see where it is now.
Tracking of ems shipments to other countries is carried out using an identifier, which differs from the track codes for shipments within the Russian Federation. In this case, such a code will contain not only numbers, but also letters of the Latin alphabet (the digital code is assigned only to parcels sent within Russia).

Why can't I track my EMS parcel?
Most often, tracking problems are related to two things:
- Invalid tracking number entered. You need to carefully check its completion again.

How to receive an EMS parcel?

You can track an international parcel❓
The process of tracking international parcels is our favorite ❤ activity :). There are slight differences from domestic Russian Post shipments. The postal identifier assigned to international parcels usually contains additional characters in the form of capital Latin letters; each country has its own unique set of letters. For example, for Russia it is “RU”, parcels sent from/to China are marked with the letters “CH”, Hong Kong is identified as “HK” - a complete list of countries and postal codes is available on the wikipedia website. Why did we suddenly decide to tell you about these mysterious country codes? The fact is that many users enter only numbers, without letters, into the tracking field, or enter letters in Cyrillic (Russian keyboard layout) - because of these errors, the service cannot find parcel by number. Correctly enter the track number with all the information (letters and numbers) in the designated order + type the letters on the English keyboard - then the site will be able to track the parcel in the database. Examples of format for international parcel numbers:
- RU201586016HK
- RU383267170CN
- NL111741297RU

13-digit international postal code
This code is assigned either to international shipments or to domestic Russian express shipments. The code consists of two capital Latin letters, followed by 9 numbers and a closing two capital Latin letters. For example, YF123456789RU. Obra Please note that spaces in the tracking code are also not allowed.
