The International Mail Processing Centre started processing EMS express mail and parcels at NOVOSIBIRSK International Airport

November 11, 2013, the International Mail Processing Centre (IMPC) was officially opened at Novosibirsk Tolmachevo airport.

The opening ceremony was attended by the Plenipotentiary of the President of the Russian Federation in the Siberian Federal District Victor TOLOKONSKIY, the Minister of Transport and Public Road System of the Novosibirsk region Sergey TITOV, the first Deputy Director of the Long-distance Postal Traffic Hub (FSUE Russian Post affiliate) Alexander TIMOFEEV, the Head of the Siberian Customs Administration Yuriy LADYGIN, the Deputy Head of Novosibirsk Customs Office on border control Sergey AVDEEV, the Deputy Director of EMS Russian Post Nadezhda SYSOEVA and the General Director of Airport Tolmachevo JSC Evgeniy Yankilevich.

The Novosibirsk IMPC became the fourth in the country (after Sheremetyevo, Vnukovo and Pulkovo) and the first regional post office built directly at the airport and specializing on EMS Russian Post (FSUE Russian Post affiliate) express mail processing.

Thanks to the rapid and well-coordinated teamwork of Russian Post and the Federal Customs Service of Russia, a specialized platform of more than 2,000 m2 for sorting and processing of incoming mail from abroad has been installed at the airport cargo terminal in the shortest time possible. NOVOSIBIRSK International Airport provided IMPC with all necessary customs and conveyor equipment and organized workplaces. Investment of the airport in its creation exceeded 1.5 mln USD.

  

For IMPC’s operation the Siberian Customs Administration of the Federal Customs Service of Russia established Customs Clearance and Customs Control Department №2 as well as set 12/7 work schedule.

The capacity of IMPC at NOVOSIBIRSK International Airport allows daily handling of 2,000 EMS items and parcels as well as the growing volume of the international mail at large coming from China and South East Asia to recipients in the Siberian, Ural and Far Eastern Federal Districts. The distribution of the international express mail flow by geographical zones will optimize workload of the Moscow Air Hub and allow EMS Russian Post to reduce delivery time.

  

Following the trial processing of mail from China, IMPC is ready for operation in full capacity.

“Opening of the International Mail Processing Centre in Novosibirsk is essential for the Siberian region, thus, asserting status of Novosibirsk as one of the major infrastructure and logistics hubs.

Anticipating the upcoming winter holidays, the volume of international mail is expected to grow, thus, stimulating us to expand production facilities on the whole territory of Russia and making express delivery convenient and fast for all Russian citizens in any season and at any time. The decision to choose Novosibirsk as the platform for the future IMPC was not accidental. The city has the most accessible geographical location and provides services as a large modern air hub. The new facility will enable residents of several districts to receive international mail even faster,” noted the first Deputy Director of the Long-distance Postal Traffic Hub, FSUE Russian Post affiliate, Alexander TIMOFEEV.

  

“The project is the initial step in the process of creation mail and cargo cluster for processing and delivering all types of air postal items and express cargo.
