Use usual mail service, registered parcel, they enjoy simplified
customs
clearing in Moscow compared with DHL, EMS and other courier services.
Parcels from an individial to an individual is customs tax free up to
10,000 rubles. Dont declare value too low it is suspicious, go between
$90-$95 or Euro equivalent. Registered parcel may take about 3 weeks
to
arrive to a local postoffice in Moscow however customs is not that
strict. Also your friend can track the parcel movement through the
Russian system at russianpost.ru
