There are several options for transporting goods from America. The most common is to go to the USA on a tour package and bring the necessary thing yourself. It should be remembered that when crossing the customs control it is possible to freely transport goods worth 1000 euros, and weighing no more than 31 kg. If the cost is higher, you will have to pay a duty at the rate of 30% of the customs value of your goods, but at least 4 euros for each kilogram of excess weight. It is forbidden to transport: alcohol in any form, plants and their seeds, tobacco products and any smoking mixtures, ammunition and weapons, narcotic substances, ozone-depleting substances and some other groups of goods.

Another common way is to order goods in an online store and deliver it by mail. The main plus: you don’t have to go anywhere, just go to the post office and pick up the package. Cons: the package should not be too large or expensive, otherwise it may be delayed at customs. In addition, the Russian Post forwards goods slowly enough, and there is a high risk of delay or even loss of goods. Postal parcels from America are insured, so even if the item is lost, the money will be returned to you and you can make an order again.

If the goods are not suitable for mail, use the services of a transport company, which has branches in America and Russia. Transportation will be quite expensive, in addition, the company may include a customs fee in the cost of services. Carefully study the concluded contract and be sure to specify where to pick up the goods, as in small cities there may not be a warehouse of the company you need.
