Question-answer

What is the cheapest way to send goods for personal use?

It is cheaper to send the goods by Russian Post. Courier services (TNT, EMS, CDEK, etc.) are ordinary carriers and do not have the preferences that the federal postal service has — Russian Post. To send a parcel from the country of departure to Russia, the sender can be sent by the local federal postal service (in Germany — Deutsche Post, in China — China Post, etc.). Your Chinese sender can transfer the parcel to China Post, you will receive the goods at the nearest post office of the Russian Post. However, if the customs inspector has doubts about the classification of the goods being sent to the category of goods for personal use or the value / weight exceeds the permissible parameters, your goods will have to be cleared through customs. The inspector will always doubt the goods sent by the Russian Post to the address of the legal entity (even if the individual paid with his bank card).

In addition to the EDS, it is necessary to form an electronic box to which files will be transferred during electronic declaration.

EDS can be obtained at the nearest generating center.
