The customs value of goods is indicated in the declaration of customs value, which, in turn, is an integral part of the goods and cargo customs declaration. Without its definition, it is impossible to register a customs declaration; it simply will not be accepted, processed, or permitted for the import, export or transit of goods.
It is also worth especially noting that the customs value of the goods is determined if it crosses the border for the first time in the cargo of a certain declarant (firm, enterprise, individual entrepreneur). And also, if it is placed under the customs procedure for the first time, with the exception of transit products.

- to apply measures to regulate trade and economic relations that are related to the price of goods.
Customs value is necessary in order to make calculations on the amount of payments: taxes, fees, duties. They are calculated based on the statistical customs value of the goods.

- based on the cost of similar goods at the transaction price for identical products;
- based on the cost of homogeneous cargo;
- the subtraction method is formed on the basis of the prices at which the maximum quantity of imported goods was sold;
- by adding value, here the usual sums of expenses and profits for sales of this product are added to the sum of costs and production costs;
- in a reserve way, this is a method that is used in extreme cases, that is, when it is impossible to calculate the customs value using any of the above.
The first method is the most frequent and widespread, the others are used only in cases where it is not suitable. To calculate the vehicle, you need to understand what it consists of:
- the actual price of the product, it is indicated by the manufacturer;
- transportation costs;
- all loading and unloading operations;
- packaging, packaging and cost of containers and similar services;
- insurance premiums and payments;
- royalties and other likely payments;
- other costs that existed before the cargo arrived at the state border.
The formation of a vehicle in rare situations, which are provided for by law, can be handled by a customs inspector, but this is an exception. If the declarant or his representative, when forming a vehicle, cannot provide documentation on the basis of which accurate calculations are made, the procedure for calculating the vehicle may be postponed for some time; this happens when there are either no documents, or they are not enough to confirm or calculate the amounts indicated in the document .
It can also be calculated on the basis of the documents available to the declarant or his broker, if customs officials consider them sufficient grounds or the goods do not require such evidence.
Method 1. Unit cost
Calculating the cost of each unit of goods is a rather rare case in trade. Used to account for unique, piece goods that vary in price. For example, in jewelry stores or when selling cars. You can use this method if you always know from which delivery the goods sold came from. Those. if you have the opportunity to calculate the exact cost for each item that is in stock.
The difficulty of this method (besides the need to calculate the trade margin for each unit of goods) is that you need to divide all expenses across all categories and goods in order to calculate the cost of a specific unit. As a result, this type of calculation of the cost of goods can only be used if there is a developed automation system and is rarely used.

- based on the cost of homogeneous goods, similar to the previous method, but with the proviso that homogeneous and identical goods are not the same thing, but have similar characteristics that characterize them, operational properties, external characteristics, composition, etc.;
- the subtraction method is formed on the basis of the prices at which the maximum quantity of imported goods was sold; transportation costs, duties, and so on are subtracted from their value;
- by adding value, here the usual sums of expenses and profits for sales of this product are added to the sum of costs and production costs;
- in a reserve way, this is a method that is used in extreme cases, that is, when it is impossible to calculate the customs value by any of the above methods, it is based on expert calculation and assessment, it is impossible to use it independently without having the proper knowledge, this should only be done professional.
