Zarubino customs: Don't worry, the custom guys in Zarubino were really nice.

I shipped my tires with an ordinary shipment company (in my case www.schenker.com) and the costs were less than half compared to DHL (in my case about 200 USD if I remember correctly).
The drawback is that you will have to pick up the tires at the airport and do the custom business. In case you will stay with Sabina ("Gursed" www.mongolia-oneway.com - I can really recommend that place -): she knows the procedures and will probably come along with you - in fact she just picked my tires up for me and was really helpful in a number of other businesses as well (including in the quest for the tire workshop which was able to mount the new tires on my tubeless-rim).

Lars
