- Type of goods passing through customs;
- Type of transportation (import/export);

The price of customs clearance of goods = customs duties + fees + VAT.
- Type of cargo and characteristics of the goods.
The type and classification of goods determines the amount of customs duties, which are determined in accordance with the HS code, the amount of VAT (a reduced tax rate is provided for the import/export of some types of goods), and the amount of customs duties. Depending on the type of cargo, different preferences may apply.
- Type of cargo transportation.
Export and import are subject to different customs fees and duties, and different documentation is required.
- Number and type of customs procedures.
The complex price of cargo clearance at customs is also affected by the number of customs procedures that must be completed. These include import/export clearance, processing, temporary importation, re-import/re-export, certification, etc. Often additional services of a customs broker, placement of cargo in a temporary storage warehouse, cargo processing, etc. are required.
- Region of customs activity.
Tariffs for customs clearance depend on which customs office the cargo passes through. For example, customs at Domodedovo airport and customs in the Moscow region are different organizations with different competencies.
- Foreign trade participant status.
Different duties and fees are provided for legal entities and individuals.
