Ozon logistics is becoming more expensive, clusters are splitting up: how to plan deliveries and not burn margins on SVD
Ozon logistics is becoming more expensive, clusters are splitting up: how to plan deliveries and not burn margins on SVD
1,399 08.02
After the December update of Ozon tariffs, logistics began to significantly affect margins more strongly, and SVD began to turn into a factor that can “add up” costs through a coefficient and a percentage of the product price. Starting from January 20, 2026, the marketplace will also split up the Caucasus and Kazakhstan clusters, which will force sellers to recalculate inventory allocation and supply strategy. We're looking at how to plan a shipment, what horizons to keep the leftovers on, and w

Oreshkin outlined 5 trends until 2046: BRICS, platforms and "severe depopulation"
176 02.02
Maxim Oreshkin's speech on "world 2046" is not futurology for the sake of spectacular theses, but an attempt to describe how trade and logistics will change over a long period: the growth of BRICS and the Global South, the power of digital platforms, demographic pressure and the acceleration of technology. For foreign economic activity, the conclusion is simple: the winner is the one who controls the data, payment rails and access to the digital storefront, not just tariffs and routes.

Lawyers advise changing contracts now: a valid QR code should be a condition for departure for loading, otherwise a simple one due to customer errors will fall on the carrier.

BRICS prepares a "bundle" of digital currencies: India promotes CBDC payments for trade and tourism by the 2026 summit
1,437 28.01
The BRICS are discussing the creation of a single payment system based on central bank digital currencies (CBDCs): India is promoting the idea of "linking" national CBDCs for trade and tourism settlements and may take the initiative to the BRICS 2026 summit. This is not a "single currency", but new payment "rails" that will potentially speed up transfers and reduce fees. We analyze the benefits for foreign economic activity and barriers — from interoperability to compliance and clearing.

Global markets enter 2026 in the "news decides" mode. Geopolitics is once again influencing expectations for oil, defense budgets, and the volatility of individual industries. Against this background, the crypto market looks more restrained, and investors are more likely to discuss the sustainability of business models and the quality of regulation rather than quick X's. The focus of the week is Venezuela, investment risks and a reassessment of market scenarios.

The talks between Russia and the UAE in the Kremlin on January 29 became a conversation not only about politics, but also about the risks that directly affect foreign economic activity. The agenda includes the escalation around Iran, diplomatic efforts in Ukraine and the development of trade and investment cooperation. For logistics, this means one thing: the Middle East is becoming a key hub for routes and settlements, and the cost of errors in compliance and insurance will increase.

Tatarstan plans to fully launch its logistics complex in 2026. Deng Xiaoping is a container transportation site between Russia and China. The project fits into the region's strategy: strengthening multimodality, developing inland waterways and turning the Sviyazhsky junction into a hub where the railway, autologistics and the river-sea route converge. For foreign economic activity, this means new opportunities in terms of speed, cost and sustainability of supply chains.

Full EDI from 2026: closing documents will be “collapsed” in the UPD — otherwise reconciliation and accounting will begin to break
1,667 30.01
If the company does maintain a full EDI, 2026 makes the UPD the center of closing documents: separate electronic invoices/acts in the previous formats go away, and the "separate" scheme quickly creates reconciliation gaps and slows down the closing of periods. This is especially painful on marketplaces: there are a lot of operations and adjustments, and any mistake in the primary instantly turns into suspended amounts and chaos in accounting. The solution is the process owner, a single registry,

China began to crack down more harshly on the scheme by which new cars were exported as used: a large batch of cars for Russian buyers was detained at the border in Suifenhe. It is based on the "180 days" rule and increased control over the export of "zero used goods". For the market, this means increased risks of gray imports, longer deadlines, and a gradual shift to more transparent supply chains.
