Re: Shipping costs
Yes, this problem can exist in the case device will be called as consumer electronic device in the sending. But maybe calling it electronic test device/engeneering sample can overcome customs limitations? Also it is possible to ask guys living in Finland to order it: this is not so far from SPb. And device delivery by any post company inside the Russia is fine. The last one idea is to ask any company (HPC?) that has proper channels to deliver it.

Re: Shipping costs
To Australia was more than twice what Sean initially suggested. Luckily the USD is doing poorly against the AUD lately, so that eased the burden.

I'd say most of the added cost is in packing, addressing, etc. and they may have planned on doing that in house earlier. I hope that there is reasonable insurance cover included. Via EMS (postal "rush" air mail, takes about a week from the US to Belarus) it would be much less. I had an MP3 player (probably about half the size of the OpenMoko's box (at a guess) sent from US to Australia via FEDEX. It took 36 hours from payment to arrival at the local (inland) courier base station where my friend worked and he called me when it got there. It was US$25 or so for shipping from memory.
