Russian Post (Pochta Rossii) and EMS Russia handle inbound international mail through Vnukovo, Sheremetyevo, and St. Petersburg international mail centres. Personal-import parcels under EUR 200 clear duty-free; above this, 15% duty + 20% VAT applies. Strictly prohibited mail items: narcotics, firearms, cryptocurrency hardware (since the 2024 wallet decree), foreign-currency cash, perishable food, items violating the foreign-cultural-property regime. Sanctions-affected goods (luxury, dual-use electronics from EU/US sources) face additional clearance scrutiny.
