The explosives were found on a flight from Vienna to Kazakhstan, travelling via Moscow.
The Russian State Customs Committee says officials are checking the documents which they say appear very suspicious.
The plane was on its way from the Austrian capital to the city of Dzhezkagan in central Kazakstan.
The Interfax news agency says the cargo had been sent by Spain's Union Espanol to the Kazakhstan Corporation and the plane had 594 detonators aboard.
