Thus, the first rule when sending a parcel from America is its non-commercial nature. You can send, for example, souvenirs, clothing, small equipment, etc., but remember: if you suspect your parcel can be checked, simply opened, and if they show signs of a commercial shipment, you will be accused of violating customs legislation.

It is clear that in the package it is forbidden to send perishable, dangerous goods, explosives, aerosols, etc. There are certain rules regarding the cost of a parcel; it should not exceed 10 thousand rubles without the cost of postal delivery of the parcel itself. Anything above the specified amount is subject to customs legislation, the amount of customs clearance will be 30% of the excess amount. You can forward the parcel either by courier, for example, DHL, FedEX. It will be fast (a few business days), but expensive.
