Shipping from Alaska to Russia

Yes, but not via the Bering Strait. It is possible to depart from Alaska outside of a port of call (a community that has customs and immigration processing facilities), but you must arrive in an official port in Russia. The closest official port to the Bering Strait in Russia's Far East is Providenia.

The U.S. bought Alaska from Russia in October 1867 for 7.2 million dollars, or two cents per acre. Many Americans thought this was a waste of money and called Alaska "Seward's Folly," after Secretary of State William H. Seward who championed the purchase.

Yes, you can get from Alaska to Russia, but not by driving across a bridge; you must fly or take a boat, typically involving charter flights or commercial flights with layovers, as the Bering Strait separates them, though technically you can walk between the Diomede Islands when the ice freezes, which is not a legal border crossing. The most common ways are through chartered flights from Bering Air or commercial flights connecting through major hubs like Anchorage to Russian cities, requiring proper visas and documentation.

Driving from Alaska to Russia isn't possible because the Bering Strait has no roads or bridges. The icy waters and lack of infrastructure make such a journey unfeasible.

Yes, you can ship packages to Russia from the USA, but it's complex due to sanctions, requiring special couriers or forwarding services (like Time Saving Machine or PostFromUS ) that use workarounds, as major carriers (USPS, FedEx, DHL, UPS) often suspend direct services; expect higher costs, longer transit times (weeks), strict customs (duty-free limit up to $1000), and prohibited items like electronics with GPS, certain clothing, or liquids.

No, UPS has suspended all international shipping services to and from Russia due to the conflict in Ukraine, meaning they do not directly ship packages there; however, some third-party services or postal options like USPS (though potentially limited) might offer alternative, indirect routes, often involving customs brokers or multi-step processes to navigate sanctions and service gaps, say sources from early-to-mid 2024.
