There are no special restrictions on exporting medicines from Egypt and importing them into Russia or another country. Likewise, there are no specific norms for carrying medicines in checked baggage or carry-on luggage on an airplane. Only standard customs restrictions and airline rules apply. Let's briefly recall them:

  • You can move any non-prohibited medicines through customs, that's the main thing. Prohibited ones are usually psychotropic and narcotic drugs, and without a special permit and prescription from official pharmacies, they won't sell them to you anyway, and if there are any restrictions, you will be warned about it.
  • Another restriction: it should not be a commercial batch, but goods for personal use, and this is usually checked upon entry into the country of arrival, while upon departure from Egypt they usually do not pay attention. Therefore, you should first look at the norms of import into the country. For example, in the Russian Federation, by air transport, you are allowed to import items worth no more than 10,000 euros and a total weight of no more than 50 kg, and everything above that is subject to duty. Therefore, when carrying medicines in large quantities, to avoid questions at customs, you should keep receipts of purchase and not carry a large number of identical medications in packaging.
  • Finally, you cannot carry liquids in carry-on luggage in containers larger than 100 ml. This includes gels, shampoos, ointments, toothpastes. Therefore, put all this in checked baggage, and then no problems will arise.
