I had trouble sending Nixie watches to Russia a couple years ago, so I
stopped trying.
Their customs dept. seem to not want anyone to send anything of value to
a residential address.

In the past I've sent a few parcels to Russia without any problems. Parcels
usually got there in a timely manner. Only one parcel didn't make it.
Actually, it did. It got all the way to the proper city, in Russia. Then it
got stamped "return to sender", and ended up, unopened, back on my door
step. Full circuit time ~4 months.
Today, somebody in Moscow, ordered a dohickie, thru eBay. I went to the
usual routine of trying to fill out the customs form on line. A little
problem. Looks like the US Postal Service has no country of Russia, or
Russian Federation, in their computer. I called up the post office toll
free number, and asked. They were no help.
I'm wondering if anyone, here, has had any issues with parcels to Russia,
within the last month or two ? There's some noise about Russian Customs on
other Internet forums. I never rely on those. Too much noise. Very little
fact.
I'll try contacting the US State department, and see if they have any
notices.
