'Importing' GPS devices into Russia
Whilst reviewing the website of the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO), I saw the following statement with regard to GPS devices:
"If you wish to import certain advanced electronic items (e.g. Global Positioning System instruments), you must get an operating licence from the Russian authorities before you travel. Check with the Embassy of the Russian Federation before your departure."
I haven't seen any reference to such a requirement on the HUBB so I am wondering whether this information is accurate, as I know that many of you travel through Russia with GPS devices. Can anyone shed any light on this reported requirement?
