There is currently a €200 (~£170) duty-free limit on parcels entering Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia from 1 April 2024. This means that if the value of goods in a single parcel entering these countries exceeds €200, duty must be paid.
If the thresholds are exceeded, the recipient will be required to pay a duty of 15% of the excess. When sending parcels to Russia, also take into account the sanctions restrictions listed in the table below.
