Ems From Russia to Usa Shipping Calculator

Reviewed by Calculator Editorial Team

Calculate the cost of shipping your package from Russia to the USA using Express Mail Service (EMS). This calculator provides an estimate based on weight, dimensions, and selected service options.

How to Use This Calculator

To get an accurate EMS shipping estimate from Russia to the USA:

  1. Enter the weight of your package in kilograms
  2. Provide the dimensions (length × width × height) in centimeters
  3. Select the shipping service type (EMS Standard or EMS Express)
  4. Click "Calculate" to see the estimated cost

The calculator uses official Russian Post EMS rates and applies appropriate dimensional weight calculations when needed.

Formula Used

The EMS shipping cost is calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost = Base Rate + (Weight × Rate per kg) + (Dimensional Weight × Rate per kg)

Where:

  • Base Rate = Fixed service fee (varies by service type)
  • Weight = Actual weight of package in kg
  • Dimensional Weight = (Length × Width × Height) / 5000 (if greater than actual weight)
  • Rate per kg = Current EMS rate for the selected service

Note: The actual cost may vary slightly from this estimate due to currency fluctuations and additional fees that may apply.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the cost to ship a 2 kg package with dimensions 30×20×10 cm using EMS Standard service.

  1. Calculate dimensional weight: (30 × 20 × 10) / 5000 = 1.2 kg
  2. Use the greater of actual weight (2 kg) or dimensional weight (1.2 kg) = 2 kg
  3. Apply EMS Standard rate of $1.50 per kg + $5 base fee
  4. Total Cost = $5 + (2 × $1.50) = $8.00

This example shows the estimated cost would be $8.00 for this package.
