UPS shipping to Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus remains suspended
UPS has suspended all international shipping services to and from Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus. The suspension began in March 2022 in response to the war in Ukraine and remains in effect, with no announced date for resuming service.
What's affected
- All inbound and outbound UPS shipments to and from Russia
- All inbound and outbound UPS shipments to and from Ukraine
- All inbound and outbound UPS shipments to and from Belarus
Packages already in transit
Packages already in transit that cannot be delivered are being returned to the sender free of charge, wherever return is possible.
What to do if you need to ship to these destinations
- Check UPS's own Service Alerts page before booking a shipment to any of these three countries — this is a UPS-wide restriction, not a GoorooShip-specific one, so UPS's page is the authoritative source for the current status
- Look into alternative delivery methods where available; national postal services may still offer limited service to some of these destinations, though with their own restrictions and delays
- Contact GoorooShip support if you have a shipment already booked and need help finding an alternative
How long will this last?
There's no confirmed end date. The suspension is tied to the ongoing conflict and the international sanctions connected to it, so it will lift only when UPS resumes normal operations in the region. Check UPS's official Service Alerts page for the latest status before shipping to any of these destinations.
Frequently asked questions
Can I still ship to Russia, Ukraine, or Belarus through GoorooShip?
No. This suspension was put in place by UPS directly, not by GoorooShip, so it applies to any shipment routed through UPS regardless of which platform you book it on.
What happens to a package that was already in transit when the suspension started?
Packages already in transit that can't be delivered are being returned to the sender free of charge, wherever return is possible.
