Drivers of forklift trucks have recently busy loading boxes containing 400 televisions into a rail container at the assembly center of China-Europe freight train services in Shenyang, Liaoning province.
The TVs were scheduled to arrive in Moscow in early June, where they will be distributed and sold at various department stores and e-commerce platforms across the country.
There is a risk of component corrosion with maritime transport, and the cost of airfreight for home appliances is too high, according to the exporting company.
