The Ministry of Finance proposed to introduce a customs fee in the amount of 100 rubles. for goods for personal consumption worth up to € 200, sent from abroad by post. The initiative is contained in a three-year draft budget submitted to the government. The Ministry said that the fee will contribute to “the formation of a competitive environment” and “whitewashing” the economy.

President Vladimir Putin said about the need to “whitewash” the national economy in December 2025. The Ministry of Finance believes that this will help expand the possibilities of collecting customs payments. By the end of 2025, the volume of customs receipts has significantly decreased, and the government expects its restoration. This year, the Federal Customs Service (FCS) planned to expand the experiment on customs monitoring and strengthen import control.
