According to a press release by FCS Russia, the service prevented individuals from illegally moving RUB 2.1 billion in cash in 2025.
Authorities opened 85 criminal cases — 30% more than a year earlier — and 13,273 administrative cases. US dollars and euros were the most common currencies involved.
Cash was most often taken out to Türkiye, the UAE, Azerbaijan and Georgia, and brought in from Türkiye, the UAE, Azerbaijan and Israel.
FCS Russia reiterates the temporary ban on exporting cash foreign currency above USD 10,000 equivalent (Decree No. 81 of 2 March 2022), written declaration for larger imports, and proof-of-origin documents for one-off imports above USD 100,000. Declaring cash does not trigger duties or taxes on the declared amount.
