Regarding the issue of carrying bottles with a snake, there are no specific norms or prohibitions for import and export, but it is all a bit complicated and involves some risk. If we think theoretically and strictly follow the customs rules of the Russian Federation, it is allowed to import alcoholic beverages without paying duty up to 3 liters, and with payment of duty up to 5. But this is if we are talking about alcohol in factory packaging. And what you will be importing in a bottle with a snake from Vietnam or anywhere else is, for customs officers, an unknown substance, and accordingly there may be options ranging from confiscation on the spot or sending for examination to determine the composition. Additionally, there are prohibitions on transporting certain types of animals from the CITES list across the border, again through examination, and just recently there was such a case at Russian customs when a tourist imported such a bottle with a prohibited species of snake and faced a serious fine. In practice, we all know that in the green corridor, selective inspection is carried out, and the chances of getting a detailed check are small, and in reality everyone carries such bottles, and we also brought them.
