You’re looking at at least two companies - one to pack you out and get your things to a bordering country and the other to get your stuff from third country onto a ship and to the US. 
 

Not from Russia but I shipped my POV from Europe to US using two companies - one got it to the port and the other one onto a ship (ro-ro type) and to my state. The NJ company that handled the 90% of the move was Prestige Shipping (prestigeshipping.us). 
Everything done via email and bank transfer (they don’t do CC). One time I had an issue I found a manager (or owner?) Vlad, spoke to him and issue sorted out.

In 2020 I was quoted about 10k USD for Philippines to Houston, all in.  Now the quotes are over 30k!  That makes it too costly so we are waiting.

I forgot to put that the quote was for a 20 foot container.
