Delivery cost

The price is determined by:

• parcel weight;

• selected service (economy / standard / express).

As a rule, the higher the weight, the lower the price per kilogram. You can estimate the cost in advance using the online calculator by entering the weight and postal code.

Delivery times in 2026

Typical transit time is 12–18 business days. Delays may occur due to customs clearance in Russia and the EAEU or seasonal workload peaks.

Customs rules and sanctions restrictions

Before shipping, please consider:

• international prohibitions on certain categories of goods;

• sanctions-related restrictions for specific items;

• Russian and EAEU customs requirements for declarations and the number of identical items in one parcel.

Important: the reference duty-free import limit for private shipments to Russia in 2026 is €200. Amounts above the limit are generally subject to a 15% duty on the excess value. It is also recommended not to include more than 3–5 identical items in one parcel.

How to complete the declaration correctly

• Use the website configurator to select the right categories and wording.

• Declare the real value of the contents.

• Provide detailed information: item name, quantity, value, and purpose.

• For personal items, use accurate descriptions and avoid “used/second-hand” wording unless required by the selected category rules.
