Parcel from the USA - how, and what about the limits at customs?

Question

Delivery

Friends, tell me, otherwise I'm completely confused:
It is possible to order a couple of "boxes" with gadgets from the States, and you don't have to send them at the same time. It seems like I followed the topic, but now doubts have overcome:
1. What are the current limits for duty-free import? They threatened to make 100-150 euros a month, then they sort of put it off - how are things now?
2. How to send a box with a gadget to Russia so that the content of the box (for example, something recognizable, say, an iPhone, about the theft of which I read decently) successfully and unopened reached its destination?
Advise, who has some experience with delivery services, especially at this time of the year? Thank you!

Answer 1

1. Also up to 1000 euros, for now. but it is better not to risk with amounts close to the limit. Sometimes customs can calculate not at the purchase price in the USA, but at the sale price in Russia. Of course, if you fight, you will prove it, but you will fray your nerves.
2. Do not use Russian Post, EMC at best. With full insurance of the parcel and opening at the post office. it is better to pay extra 1-2 thousand rubles. Well, or forwarders like Shipito, EbayToday.
