When flying from Cam Ranh Airport (CXR), pack mangoes, dragon fruit, longan, rambutan or mangosteen in a sturdy box and check it in. For entry into Russia, the combined allowance for fresh fruit, vegetables and other plant products is up to 5 kg per traveller without a phytosanitary certificate.

Avoid buying durian for the flight: many airlines do not allow it in either cabin or checked baggage because of its smell. Whole coconuts may also be refused on flights from Cam Ranh, so check your airline’s policy; dried mango, coffee and sealed sweets are safer souvenirs.
