I think it's rather different legislation for " accompanied /unaccompanied baggage /cargo " and " international mail ."

If you are one with the picture plane arrives in Russia - is " followed by a cargo /luggage ", if you send - whether by mail , brings carrier, or express shipping - it is " unaccompanied cargo /luggage ".
The question remains : the picture is flying to Russia cargo separately from you and waiting for you at the customs warehouse - what is it?
In any case, if you are in the customs territory of the Russian Federation , and you brought your picture from abroad - will have to pay .
