The Russia Sanctions Regulations

From 10 April 2023, the duty-free limit for bringing goods into Russia (as well as Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan) of 990€ per parcel returned!

According to the 10th sanctions package, second-hand, vintage and personal items are not allowed out of Europe. Therefore, choose different categories and also fill in the description of the goods in detail (e.g. not just clothes, but men's trousers).

NB!

From 1 October 2023, the duty-free limit for importing goods into Russia (as well as Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan) will return to 200€. This means that parcels with a value above 200€ that reach the customs in Russia and other countries on 1 October and beyond will have to pay duty.

In our experience, this limit has been extended several times already and we expect it to be extended this time as well, but at the moment there is no news about the extension of the 990€ limit.

Goods which may not exceed the value of 300 EUR per item	Women's, children's and men's clothing and footwear Accessories (bags, purses, jewellery, watches, scarves etc.) Cosmetics and vitamins Groceries Small accessories for home and garden Musical instruments (drums of any kind, guitars of any kind, pianos of any kind) Quartz or mechanical wristwatches	A 400 EUR bag will be confiscated by customs because the limit of 300 EUR per item has been violated.
