I had my toothpaste confiscated a couple of weeks ago.  I doubt you could
get away with bringing hanging drops on an airplane even before Nov 6th; I
got a huge hassle in London in 1995.  The train will shake the thing to
death.  You're doomed (unless you have a Saudi passport).  If it were me,
I would freeze them and transport them in a liquid nitrogen dewar.  Fed
Exp will do this, and often will be kind enough to ship it to Kazakhstan
for no additional charge.
