OOO "Северная Звезда A&П"

What OOO "Северная Звезда A&П" does

OOO "Severnaya Zvezda A&P" (NSTAR) is a Russian customs brokerage and logistics services provider founded in 2003 and headquartered in Moscow, with an operational customs terminal in Kolomna and approximately 55 employees. The company serves foreign economic activity (FEA) participants and industrial enterprises, with reference projects including the Federation Tower and Lakhta Center supertall construction sites, civil and geotechnical works, mining operations, and smaller individual importers. Customer mix spans enterprise project clients and recurring B2B accounts such as OOO "EKO" and OOO "PARTNER."

The service offering covers the full customs and adjacent compliance value chain: customs clearance and customs representation, project logistics for oversized cargo, consolidated cargo delivery from Europe and China, certification, veterinary and phytosanitary control, fumigation, product marking, and legal services. The Kolomna terminal houses a 520 m² customs warehouse (SVKh), 3,289.5 m² temporary storage warehouse (TS), 781 m² commercial warehouse, 1,500 m³ of cold storage, a VNIKR laboratory, and dedicated veterinary and phytosanitary control posts, enabling co-located inspection and storage. The technology stack is utilitarian: government-mandated electronic declaration (ED-2), 1C:Бухгалтерия for accounting, Yandex.Metrika for web analytics, and SECUROS PROFESSIONAL video surveillance; the recently launched lk.nstar.ru client portal provides digital document exchange. In 2025 the company secured federal registration as a customs representative, SVKh warehouse operator, and TS warehouse operator, formalizing its regulated-service position.

The business model is professional-services-based, with brokerage and project logistics priced on a quote basis per engagement, commercial warehouse space listed transparently at 75 RUB/m²/day, and managed transport handled via the subsidiary OOO "Ekspress Ekspeditsiya." Revenue mechanics are a mix of transactional brokerage fees, project-based logistics contracts on large construction and industrial sites, and recurring rental income from warehouse clients. No proprietary technology platform, AI/ML capabilities, or recurring SaaS-like revenue stream is evident; the company operates as a traditional, asset-supported services firm with regulatory licensure as its primary differentiator.
