The procedure for individuals to move goods across the customs border of the Russian federation

Порядок перемещения физическими лицами товаров через таможенную границу Российской Федерации
 

In accordance with the provisions of the Customs Code of the Russian Federation individuals can carry in accompanied and non-accompanied luggage goods intended for personal, family, domestic and other needs not connected with commercial activity.

The intended purpose of the goods is determined by Customs authorities on the basis of a declaration from an individual, the nature and quantity of the goods and the frequency with which the goods are carried across the customs border.

If the value of imported goods doesn’t exceed 65,000 rubles and/or the total weight doesn’t exceed 35 kg, the goods are exempt from customs duties.

In case the value of the goods exceeds 65,000 rubles but doesn’t exceed 650,000 rubles and/or the total weight exceeds 35 kg but doesn’t exceed 200 kg, a unified rate of customs duty is applied to the amount of the excess. A unified rate of duty is 30 per cent (%) of the customs value of the goods but not less than 4 euros per kilogram.

In case the value of the goods exceeds 650,000 rubles and/or the total weight exceeds 200 kg, an aggregate customs payment is levied on the amount of the excess.

The rates of customs duties on imported transport means depend on their value, the date of manufacture and the engine volume.

A full exemption from customs duties and taxes is   valuables on condition that they are declared and have undergone the special registration envisaged by the legislation.

Customs duties are not paid on international postal items if the value of such goods sent in the course of one week to one recipient doesn’t exceed 10,000 rubles.

Government establishes quantitative limits on certain categories of goods. Individuals can carry across the border 2 liters of alcohol, 200 cigarettes, 250 g of caviar, $3000 per person free of duty.

Goods prohibited for bringing into the country are: weapons of all kinds, ammunition and explosives, drugs and psychotropic substances.
