Commentary from SBO-PAPER.RU on pulp prices:

In January 2021, pulp prices increased sharply (across all regions: Europe, North America, China)

For example, in China, prices for softwood pulp increased in 2 months. (from the beginning of December to the end of January) amounted to 150 US dollars per ton (+24.4%). To be fair, it should be noted that in the summer, prices in China for both softwood and hardwood pulp were minimal, so for now we are only talking about their recovery...

Insidious statistics: where do discrepancies in foreign trade data come from?

2. Different approaches to the classification of goods moved within the framework of mutual trade. In different countries, the same product can be classified by different HS codes (commodity nomenclature for foreign economic activity). For example, Korean car kits supplied for assembly to factories in Russia are classified by the Koreans as finished cars, and in Russia - as a set of components (engines, bodies, chassis), each of which has its own code. In the first half of 2021, imports of Korean passenger cars to Russia (code 8703) were lower than Korean exports to Russia, and for spare parts for automobiles, Russian imports exceeded Korean exports.

3. Inclusion of data relating to the same transaction in different periods (so-called carryover deliveries). This is especially true for trade between countries that are distant from each other. Delivery time in this case can vary greatly depending on the transport used or the characteristics of the goods being transported. Goods cleared for export at the end of 2021, taking into account transportation time, will be taken into account in the import of the partner country at the beginning of 2021.

4. Re-export of goods produced in third countries. Almost all countries include goods of non-own origin in their exports. In imports of the receiving country (in accordance with the international methodology for accounting for goods recommended by the UN), these goods are recorded by country of origin. This factor greatly influences the discrepancies in customs statistics between Russia and EU countries.

In particular, in 2021, Russia's imports from Finland were lower than Finland's exports to Russia. This is due to the fact that about 61% of goods imported from Finland to Russia were produced in other EU countries, China, the USA or Japan. They were partly included in Finland's exports to Russia, and in Russian imports they were taken into account by country of origin.

5. Deliveries of Russian goods and goods produced by a trading partner country from the territories of third countries. This is especially typical for the supply of goods of Chinese origin to Russia from other territories (EU, Hong Kong, Republic of Korea). In Russian imports they are taken into account by country of origin (China), but are not reflected in Chinese data on exports to Russia. This is due to the excess of Russian data, in particular, for goods of the 84th group of the commodity nomenclature (nuclear reactors, boilers, equipment and mechanical devices) and the 85th group (electrical machines and equipment, their parts).

6. Carrying out expert additional calculations (typical for EAEU member states). Russia's imports from Kyrgyzstan in 2018 were $65.8 million lower than Kyrgyzstan's exports to Russia. The discrepancies are caused by the Kyrgyz side carrying out additional calculations for the import and export of goods by individuals based on a sample survey of border checkpoints. The results of the additional calculations are added to the volume of exports and imports of Kyrgyzstan with the member states of the EAEU.

In the Republic of Belarus, additional calculations are also carried out, in particular for vegetables, and in Armenia, to generate mutual trade data, an additional source of information is used - transit declarations on the movement of goods between Russia and Armenia through the territory of Georgia.

7. Classification of information about certain product items as confidential information. In Russia, data on such goods is included in the overall trade results, and a number of countries, for example Finland, close information on some goods at the request of foreign trade participants, which affects discrepancies in the data.

As we see, in all these cases we are not talking about violations of laws, but about objective differences in the structure of customs statistics in different countries.

Customs statistics. Statistical form for recording the movement of goods within the Customs Union

Customs statistics – collection, processing and submission in a certain form of data on the movement of goods across the customs border in order to analyze the state and dynamics of the further development of foreign trade and the economy as a whole.

The basic principles of maintaining customs statistics are regulated by the Customs Code of the Customs Union and the Federal Law “On Customs Regulation in the Russian Federation”. Additionally, this area of ​​customs relations is regulated by:

— Agreement dated January 25, 2008 “On maintaining customs statistics of foreign and mutual trade in goods of the Customs Union” concluded between the Governments of the Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation; — Decision of the Customs Union Commission dated January 28, 2011 No. 525 “On the Unified Methodology for Maintaining Customs Statistics of Foreign Trade and Statistics of Mutual Trade of the Member States of the Customs Union”; — Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated January 29, 2011 No. 40 “On the organization of maintaining statistics of mutual trade of the Russian Federation with member states of the Customs Union within the framework of the EurAsEC”

Customs statistical data is submitted to the Customs Union at two levels:

— national statistics; - All-Union statistics.

To maintain all-Union customs statistics, the Customs Union Commission uses the Center for Customs Statistics, which performs the following functions:

— receives statistical data from authorized national bodies of the CU member countries; — based on the information received, generates general statistical data; — publishes the received data within the time limits and in the form established by the legislation of the Customs Union; — provides general data to the authorized bodies of the CU member countries.

In the CU member countries, the systems for collecting and processing customs statistical data have their own distinctive features. To bring customs statistical data collection systems to a single standard and simplify data processing by the Center for Customs Statistics within the customs union, the following are in effect:

— Unified methodology of customs statistics; — Unified Commodity Nomenclature for Foreign Economic Activity of the Customs Union (TN FEACN of the Customs Union).

The Commodity Nomenclature of Foreign Economic Activity of the Customs Union is based and developed on the basis of the Harmonized System for Description and Coding of Goods of the WTO and the Commodity Nomenclature of Foreign Economic Activity of the CIS.

Due to insufficient unification of national systems for maintaining customs statistics, discrepancies are possible in statistical data on trade of the CU member countries with other countries. To eliminate these discrepancies and ensure the reliability of the data, the authorized bodies of the participating countries conduct a comparative analysis of the results of trading activities to identify and eliminate the causes of possible discrepancies.

At the national level, customs statistics are maintained by authorized bodies. In the Russian Federation, the authorized body is the Federal Customs Service.

The main source of information for maintaining customs at the national level is the data specified in customs declarations, statistical forms for recording the movement of goods within the Customs Union and other documents provided to the customs authorities.

Statistical form for recording the movement of goods within the Customs Union

It is worth mentioning separately the statistical form for recording the movement of goods within the Customs Union, which is filled out by the applicant. The applicant may be a person:

- concluded a deal; - on whose behalf or on behalf of whom the transaction was concluded; - having the right to own, dispose or use the goods.

The obligation to fill out the Statistical Form arises in relation to goods imported into the territory of the Russian Federation from the territory of the member states of the Customs Union or exported from the territory of the Russian Federation to the territory of the member states of the Customs Union.

Cases when the Statistical Form is not filled out:

— movement of goods by individuals for personal use; - movement of goods by certain categories of persons enjoying advantages and privileges, diplomatic missions, consular offices for personal use; — movement of transit goods; — movement of goods by rail.

When moving goods by rail, statistical information is taken from transportation documents and provided independently by the carrier.

The statistical form is filled out electronically before the start of transportation of goods, but not earlier than 15 days. The software used to fill out statistical data is posted on the official website of the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation. The statistical form is filled out in Russian and has a legally prescribed form and rules for filling it out. When you fill out the form, a registration number is automatically assigned. From June 1, 2011, the statistical form, printed on paper with an assigned number, is a mandatory accompanying document for the goods during their transportation.

(doc)

Errors made when filling out the statistical form must be corrected electronically within 10 days from the moment they were identified. In this case, an updated form is filled out, which indicates the registration number of the statistical form to which changes are made. The applicant is responsible for ensuring that the form is completed correctly. It is worth noting that the carrier is subject to administrative liability for the absence of a form.

Customs statistics take into account all imported or exported goods. But there are a number of goods that are not taken into account in customs statistics. These are the products:

- temporarily imported or temporarily exported for a period of no more than 1 year; — transit; - intended for export outside the Russian Federation, placed in a free warehouse, customs warehouse, customs zone; — foreign goods destroyed on the territory of the Russian Federation.

There are also three categories of goods that are not subject to customs registration:

— goods whose value does not exceed the statistical threshold; — securities in circulation, monetary gold, foreign and national currency that has no numismatic value; - goods that are not the subject of commercial transactions.

Statistical threshold - the quantity of a product, expressed in its statistical value or units of quantitative accounting, established by law, below which the product is not taken into account in customs statistics.

Goods are recorded in customs statistics based on their statistical value or units of quantitative accounting.

Statistical value is the cost of a product expressed in US dollars. On the territory of the Russian Federation, the cost is converted into rubles at the official rate established by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation. Quantitative accounting units mean: net weight in kg, total weight in kg, pieces, liters, m3, and other units of measurement of the quantity of goods provided for by the CU FEACN.

The FCS publishes the obtained statistical data within the time limits and in the forms established by the legislation of the Russian Federation. The provision of unpublished data that does not contain state or other secrets protected by law, or other information with limited access, is carried out in the manner and for a fee established by law.

You can get acquainted with the available statistical data by following the following links: Foreign trade statistics, Mutual trade statistics, Foreign trade of the Russian Federation by goods.

Submission of a statistical report to the Federal Customs Service in electronic form

STATFORM for customs when exporting to the EAEU, how to fill out in 1C?

When exporting from the EAEU, the Organization is obliged to submit to the Federal Customs Service (Federal Customs Service) a Statistical form for recording the movement of goods (approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of June 19, 2020 N 891).

The statistical form in the Federal Customs Service is drawn up in the Reports section - Regulated reports - Create button - All tab - folder By recipients - FCS folder - Statistical form for accounting for the movement of goods.

The report is filled out manually .

The report period must be selected before the report is recorded. If an incorrect period is selected, you must close the report without saving it and then create a new one.

Yellow cells are filled in manually , data in green cells is calculated automatically based on the information entered into the report.

The form is filled out automatically only for import transactions based on the Application for the import of goods .

More details Is the statistical form of the Federal Customs Service when working with the EAEU in 1C automatically generated only when importing?

After filling out the Statistical form, you should Write it down , then, using the appropriate buttons, you can:

• unload;
• check unloading;
• type;
• send to the Federal Customs Service.

The upload file is checked, among other things, for the correctness of the unit of measurement of the item according to the HS code. Therefore, it is important to fill out the nomenclature card correctly.

The unit of measurement of the nomenclature must correspond to that established by the unified customs tariff of the Eurasian Economic Union in relation to transported goods for a given HS code (Decision of the Council of the Eurasian Economic Commission dated July 16, 2012 N 54).

For example, for this code the unit is par.

The unit of measurement for the Commodity Nomenclature of Foreign Economic Activity may differ from the unit of measurement that is used for accounting for a given nomenclature in the Organization. For example, for some nomenclature items for the HS code the unit of measurement is not established and:
