He's trying to evade paying customs duty or value-added tax (or whatever they call the equivalent in Russia).The other thing that struck me as odd is that the buyer said that on the actual shipment day I might need to declare the item's price to be much lower than it actually is ($10-$20 he said) as Russian customs are notorious for halting everything they consider to be too expensive.
That's actually illegal in any jurisdiction. Don't do it.
