If you ever move to Armenia, I would like to point you to Regulation #504. This regulation sets weight limits for just about anything you could think of bringing along. You may import certain amounts of certain items but if you pass the designated weight limit, you will be considered dealing in said items, which brings about long procedures of certification, and heavy import duties.
So, let me tell you which quantities of everyday items you can bring along, thereby avoiding hassles and generous spending of your money:
- Cereals: 50 kg
- Live animals: 3 pieces
- Live poultry: 50 wings
- Live decorative fish: 2 of each species but not more than 10 pieces
- Edible vegetables, roots, and tubers: 50 kg
- Opium: 0
- Chewing gum, whether or not sugar-coated: 1 kg
- Pasta: 10 kg
- Organic chemicals: 1 kg
- Fertilizers: 50 kg
- Floor coverings of plastic: 100 m²
- Wallpaper: 20 kg
- Conveyor belts: 20 kg
- Worked monumental stone: 1 piece
- Nuclear reactors, boilers, or parts thereof: 0
- Aircraft, spacecraft, or parts thereof: 0
- Aircraft not exceeding 2000 kg: 1
- Snuffboxes: 4 pieces
- Milking machines: 1
- Contact lenses: 2 pairs
- Prefabricated buildings: 1
- Toys: 6
- Fishing rods: 3
I know. This is the information you've been waiting for.
Guess I'm out of luck...whatever will I do with the 2nd milking machine that I've got lying around here?

Well dang!, all that opium I have in my three hundred snuffboxes will now most certainly be wasted. As for the nuclear reactor, can anyone say eBay?

How about maple syrup? I have a one gallon (four liter) container, which is about eleven pounds (5 kg).

Just catching up after being on vacation.
Bizarre list.
- Only 6 toys??
- I use disposable contact lenses, wear for a month and discard. They come in packages of 6. Since my eyes are different, I need two boxes, so 6 pairs.
- Wonder what they mean by "Worked monumental stone: 1 piece". We have several ornaments in stone. Only allowed to bring one?
Very curious. Thanks!
