Full details
Lithium Power Bank is generally allowed for personal-use carriage into Russia. Federal Customs Service (FTS Russia) treats single-unit personal effects as routine; no declaration required unless quantities suggest commercial intent (typically 5+ identical units). EU customs harmonisation and EU Regulation 608/2013 IPR enforcement apply alongside national rules. Personal-import duty-free threshold is 200 EUR; carriage above the threshold attracts duty + 20% VAT.
Leaving Russia with lithium power bank
Power banks face no customs export control from Russia. Aviation dangerous-goods rules are the real constraint: spare lithium batteries including power banks are forbidden in checked baggage worldwide and must be carried in the cabin. Units up to 100 Wh (roughly 27,000 mAh) travel freely; 100-160 Wh units need airline approval and are usually limited to two; above 160 Wh is forbidden on passenger aircraft. Terminals should be protected against short circuit.
Walk the Green Channel for single-unit personal effects. For multiple units or high-value items, declare at Red Channel + present purchase receipts. Federal Customs Service (FTS Russia) publishes the current personal-allowance schedule at https://eng.customs.gov.ru/.
