Navigating Russia’s import process is key to a hassle-free delivery. All shipments from the UK must clear the Russian Federal Customs Service (FCS) under Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) rules, requiring a commercial invoice, packing list, and transport documents like a Bill of Lading or Air Waybill. Goods valued over 25,000 RUB (approx. $250 USD as of March 2025) need an import declaration, while items like electronics or luxury goods may face duties based on their Harmonized System (HS) code—rates you can check via the EAEU tariff schedule. Russia imposes a 20% VAT on most imports, plus potential excise taxes on alcohol or tobacco. Restricted items like pharmaceuticals or tech may need permits, and prohibited goods (e.g., certain foods) are barred—our team helps you ensure compliance upfront.
We partner with trusted couriers to move your goods swiftly from the UK to Russia, with options for air freight (3-7 days) or cost-effective sea freight (3-6 weeks).

Russian Customs Regulations for Shipping from the UK to the Russian Federation
When shipping goods from the UK to the Russian Federation, compliance with Russia’s Federal Customs Service (FCS) and EAEU regulations is essential for smooth clearance and delivery. Here’s what businesses and individuals using Send2Hub need to know:
- Customs Clearance Process
All goods entering Russia from the UK must pass through FCS for clearance, involving:- Documentation Review: FCS verifies shipment contents, value, and compliance with EAEU laws.
- Physical Inspection: Goods may be checked to match declarations.
- Duty and Tax Assessment: Fees are calculated based on value and classification.
- Required Documentation
To clear Russian customs with Send2Hub, you’ll need:- Commercial Invoice: Details goods, value, and buyer/seller information.
- Packing List: Lists contents, quantity, weight, and dimensions per package.
- Bill of Lading (Sea Freight) or Air Waybill (Air Freight): Proves ownership and transport details.
- Import Declaration: Required for goods over 25,000 RUB or regulated items.
- Certificate of Origin: May be requested to confirm UK origin for tariff purposes.
- Duties and Taxes
- Duty-Free Threshold: Personal shipments under €200 (approx. £170 as of March 2025) and 31 kg may enter duty-free for individuals, but commercial goods typically incur duties.
- Import Duties: Based on HS codes—e.g., clothing might face 5-15% duties. Check the EAEU tariff schedule.
- VAT: Russia applies a 20% VAT on most imports, calculated on the CIF value (cost, insurance, freight) plus duties.
- Excise Taxes: Apply to alcohol, tobacco, or fuel—rates vary.
- Prohibited and Restricted Items
FCS restricts or bans certain goods:- Prohibited: Narcotics, counterfeit items, fresh meats, or dairy without certification.
- Restricted:
- Pharmaceuticals: Requires Ministry of Health approval.
- Electronics/tech: May need FSB notification for encryption.
- Alcohol: Subject to strict quotas and permits.
Send2Hub advises checking FCS restrictions before shipping.
- HS Codes and Valuation
- HS Codes: Every item needs an EAEU HS code—e.g., a smartphone might be 8517.12. Use the FCS tariff tool to find codes.
- Customs Valuation: Includes goods cost, shipping, and insurance. Under-declaring risks penalties.
- Sanctions and Post-Brexit Notes
As of March 2025, Western sanctions may limit shipping certain goods (e.g., luxury items, tech) to Russia. Post-Brexit, the UK is a third country to Russia, with no free trade agreement, so standard EAEU tariffs apply. Send2Hub navigates these challenges for you. - Tips for Smooth Shipping
- Accurate Paperwork: Incomplete forms delay clearance.
- Prepay Duties/VAT: Avoid recipient surprises—Send2Hub can coordinate this.
- Tracking: Monitor progress with our real-time tools.
