Starting January 1, 2020, the duty-free import threshold for personal goods shipped with international parcel mail services and delivered by express carriers in Russia was reduced to 200€ and 31 kg (68.3 lb).
This means that when the customer orders goods from abroad worth more than 200€ and/or weighing more than 31 kg (68.3 lb), it will be necessary to pay a fee of 15% of the amount exceeding the threshold, but no less than 2€ per 1 kg (2,2 pounds). The duty is calculated separately for each parcel, regardless of quantity per recipient.
You can calculate the tax yourself:
For instance, if the parcel is worth 300€ and weighs 31 kg, the tax will be calculated from 100€ — the exceeding value. The final tax will be 15€:
300 - 200 = 100. 100 * 0,15 (15%) = 15€
If the parcel exceeds the weight limit, for example, if it weighs 35 kg, the tax will be calculated from the exceeding weight (which is 4 kg) and will total 8€. If both weight and value exceed the limits, the tax is calculated from both, and the biggest of them is to be paid.
Consider putting the information tax information on your website to avoid any misunderstandings.
Some goods cannot be imported into Russia — find the full list of items prohibited for import here.
For example, we can’t ship items containing alcohol via air, while guns and non-durable products cannot be shipped whatsoever.
Some goods can be shipped by prior agreement with a broker. If you have a question regarding the possibility of shipping one item or another, feel free to ask us in the form, and we’ll say for sure whether we can ship the item.
We offer three Last Mile methods for an online store to choose: Pick-up Point, Parcel Locker, Home delivery. When ordering on your website, the customer chooses the most suitable delivery method. If you enable the Pick-up Points and Parcel Lockers delivery option, the customer would be able to choose a point on the map and see its working hours.
All cross-border shipments have to be cleared through customs according to customs legislation. In order to do it, the customer has to provide their personal data, including passport info, scans, and TIN number. If they refuse to do so, the parcel cannot be cleared and will be utilised or re-exported on the seller's behalf.
We store and collect your customers’ personal data via secured channels.
We notify customers via text messages, and by phone if they choose Home delivery.
BXB has a dedicated customer support team. Your customers can contact us via email, online chat, or phone.
The customer needs to register the return online, pay for it (if needed) and send the goods for return back to the online store in a BXB Pick-up Point. Some online stores bear the costs of international returns. Online stores note that enabling the returns option is directly related to an increase in the number of orders.
Contact your personal manager to enable the option.
BXB offers two types of insurance: standard and extra.
Standard insurance is included in the tariff. In case of the parcel’s loss or damage, we’ll pay 30 dollars/euros/rubles (depending on the online store’s currency) for each kg of a parcel, but no more than the declared value.
Extra insurance works like this: the online store pays 0,5% of the parcel’s value. In case the parcel’s lost, BXB will refund the whole value.
BXB is working strictly according to Russian law on using personal data.
Marketplace is a sales platform where many retailers can sell their goods.
Entering a new market may be challenging: you need to translate it into the local language, hire a customer support team, open a warehouse in the country, or organise end-to-end logistics. Before investing a lot into launching your online store in a new market, you can try marketplaces to analyse the demand and consider your next few steps in a marketing strategy.
Another advantage of marketplaces is diminishing marketing costs. Firstly, marketplaces offer a variety of tools for promoting your goods or a brand as a whole. Secondly, big marketplaces have their own strong brands as reliable and convenient sales platforms. Big marketplaces also have top positions in search engines.
Export is a solution for individuals who sell a small number of goods from Russia to the USA, the European Union, the UK.

Competitive prices and clear tracking are advantages both for a seller and a buyer. If you sell more than 1000 parcels a month, you’ll be able to receive customer support 24/7.
