Yes, you can insure Priority Mail shipments to Russia, but there are some specific requirements and limitations to be aware of.

Insuring Priority Mail to Russia

The United States Postal Service (USPS) offers insurance coverage for Priority Mail shipments to Russia, but the coverage is limited to a maximum value of $200 per item. This means that if your package is lost, damaged, or stolen, you can file a claim with the USPS for up to $200.

To insure your Priority Mail shipment to Russia, you'll need to follow these steps:

1. Make sure your package is properly packaged and labeled with the correct customs forms and documentation.
2. Use the USPS's online shipping label or purchase a shipping label at a post office.
3. Select the "Insured" option when creating your shipping label or at the post office.
4. Pay the insurance fee, which is currently $2.50 for packages up to $200 in value.

Important Notes

• The USPS has specific requirements for shipping to Russia, including the need for a commercial invoice and a Certificate of Origin.
• Russia has strict customs regulations, and packages may be subject to delays or additional fees if they do not comply with these regulations.
• The USPS recommends that you use a trackable shipping method, such as Priority Mail International, to ensure that your package can be tracked and located if it is lost or delayed.
• The USPS does not offer insurance coverage for packages that are lost or damaged due to natural disasters, war, or other extraordinary circumstances.
