Some of Bay.Ru's most popular US to Russia products include automotive parts, electronics and fashion items like clothing, shoes and accessories. Bay.Ru representatives walk buyers through the entire international shopping process. The company then receives items for inspection, consolidates and repackages the items with all proper customs paperwork, and internationally ships the items directly to Russian consumers.
