Russian Customs Regulations
According to article 7 of the Russian Law "On Import and Export
of Cultural Values" you should declare all items of value on
your customs form upon arrival in Russia. If your customs form is
lost or stolen, report it to Russian militia and obtain a certificate
to show to customs officials when you depart the country.
Generally speaking, you should obtain a receipt for all items of
value--including caviar--purchased in Russia.
Old artifacts such as icons, samovars, rugs and antiques must have
a certificate indicating that they have no historical value. Otherwise
they are likely to be confiscated. You may be able to obtain this
certificate from the store that sold the item or from the Ministry
of Culture.
