Customs clearance of tractors and agricultural machinery

Customs clearance is a set of activities that are carried out by participants in foreign trade activities (importers, customs authorities, customs representatives, certification and insurance companies and banks) when importing goods from abroad. The customs legislation of the Russian Federation clearly tells us that all foreign goods when moving across the customs border of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) must be declared (with the exception of goods of individuals). That is, an importer importing foreign goods must fill out a customs declaration and pay all due customs payments (customs duties, taxes, excise taxes and fees), and the customs authority must record in a unified national system the fact of importation of these goods, their type and quantity, as well as size funds received into the budget of the Russian Federation. We call this set of activities customs clearance of goods.

The word “customs clearance” or “customs clearance” is professional jargon in customs circles and it means customs clearance - customs clearance of cargo at customs. After which this product can be used, sold, consumed, depending on the purpose of import.

Features of customs clearance of goods in Russia

When importing goods into Russia and clearing them through customs, there are a number of features:

Features of customs clearance of goods for individuals - they can import goods only for personal use, with the exception of commercial shipments and those prohibited by the list. Goods can be imported both in accompanied baggage, for example, by an individual in hand luggage and checked baggage, and unaccompanied by a transport carrier. And, as a rule, they are cleared through customs without paying customs duties if the value does not exceed 500 euros and the weight is 25 kg. In case of excess, a duty of 4 euros per kg of excess weight is paid, or 30% of the cost of the excess. When transporting baggage by air, the duty-free import limit is 50 kg and no more than 10,000 euros per person.

They can import any consignments of goods in accordance with current legislation. Upon initial delivery, the company must be registered as a participant in foreign trade activities at customs (registration takes place at the time of filing the customs declaration). And when registering goods at customs, as a rule, customs payments (customs clearance fee, duty, VAT, excise tax), which are calculated according to the codes of the Commodity Nomenclature of Foreign Economic Activity and the country of origin of the goods, must be paid.

Tire certification

Tire certification is a range of operations aimed at proving the product’s compliance with the required level of quality, reliability and safety.

Both new and refurbished products are subject to a mandatory inspection process. Used tires do not fall into this category.

Are you planning to import goods, but don’t know how much it will cost you to clear them through customs?

Customs clearance of goods in Russia has its own nuances. There are certain requirements for goods imported into Russia. Many goods can be imported only if they have the appropriate certificates and other permits. For example, many products are subject to mandatory certification by the technical regulations of the Customs Union (TR CU), for which “certificates” or “declarations of conformity” must be issued confirming the quality of the products.

Such goods include: food, cosmetics, various equipment and electrical appliances, containers and packaging, furniture and other goods. Also, when importing medical goods, a Registration Certificate (RU) issued by Roszdravnadzor must be provided, without which it will not be possible to carry out customs clearance.

Medicinal cosmetics and dietary supplements are subject to obtaining a certificate of state registration (SGR), which is also not issued in one day.

International transportation and delivery of tires

TC Standard Line carries out international transportation of tires and any other goods. Transportation is carried out in compliance with the conditions of required protection from adverse environmental conditions. Sometimes auxiliary packaging is used.

International delivery of tires takes place strictly according to transportation rules. To transport goods, specially equipped open or closed vehicles are used. To avoid the negative impact of weather conditions on tires, they are additionally packaged in bags. When transported in open vehicles, the cargo is covered with a tarpaulin awning.

Tire transportation services are provided subject to the following requirements:

• Transportation with cameras requires treatment with talc or special lubricants;
• Transportation is carried out exclusively in a vertical condition. The tires are placed in a pyramid and secured with specialized straps;
• Transportation of tubeless tires is carried out using spacers, thanks to which the original appearance and characteristics of the goods are preserved and distortion is eliminated;
• Tires are not transported together with petroleum products and various other substances that can damage the tire.

Services for international transportation of tires include documentary support. Professionals of the Standard Line company help clients in collecting and processing the required documents. During transportation, the foreign trade participant must keep with him a complete technical description of the goods. Transportation is carried out using various vehicles, including:

• Automotive;
• Air;
• Railway;
• Marine;
• Multimodal.

Do I need to pay a recycling fee?

Yes, you need to pay it. Its amount depends on the power of the tractor and the age of the tractor.

The detailed table is given below:

Difference from other special equipment

It does not matter whether the tractor meets the requirements of the European environmental standard. The engine of a tractor or other special equipment ( for example, an excavator) can be of Euro 4 or Euro 5 . This is due to the fact that tractors and other types of special equipment are not widely used on public roads.

There is one important nuance! When purchasing tractors or other special equipment abroad, you must take care to obtain permission from the manufacturer to export the machine. This document is not mandatory; customs may require it.

For example, the Swedish automaker Volvo issues permits for the import of its tractors and other special equipment only after it arrives at a temporary storage warehouse at customs. The document issuance period is 10 days from the date of the cargo’s arrival at customs. This period should be taken into account when planning the customs clearance process.
