ALET

ALET is a Russian customs broker that specializes in facilitating fuel and energy exports. Headquartered in Russia, the company manages customs declarations for a range of energy commodities, including oil, coal, and petroleum products. Its services are directed toward clients engaged in the production, trade, and transport of these resources. By acting as an intermediary between exporters and Russian customs authorities, ALET helps ensure compliance with export regulations and documentation requirements. The firm’s expertise lies in navigating the specific procedural demands associated with high‑volume energy shipments.

ALET’s operational footprint is indicated by its client base, which comprises over 400 entities, including major energy firms. The scale of its data handling was highlighted in a 2022 incident where approximately 1.1 million emails, amounting to 1.1 terabytes, were exfiltrated and leaked. This breach exposed detailed customs declaration records for oil, coal, and petroleum products moving through its systems. The event underscored ALET’s role in processing substantial volumes of trade‑related information for the Russian energy sector. As a customs broker focused exclusively on fuel and energy exports, ALET occupies a specialized niche within Russia’s logistics and trade compliance landscape.
