During his visit to the agricultural cluster, Sergei Sobyanin noted that this format of trade is in great demand.

— A little over a year ago we launched the Food City agricultural cluster. Taking into account the experience of developing such agricultural clusters in Madrid, Paris, and Berlin, we have returned civilized wholesale and small wholesale trade for public catering, restaurants, and small shops in Moscow. And this format turned out to be extremely popular. Today, almost a third of Moscow’s fresh food products are sold through this platform,” said the mayor.

Customs clearance of vegetables and fruits

Customs clearance of vegetables and other products intended for use as food is carried out only in one case - the products are supplied from abroad and cross the border of the Russian Federation. The main difficulty with registration is the need to act as quickly as possible, since some items from the product range are perishable and require a special storage/transportation regime.

The procedure itself is the registration of goods in accordance with the submitted documentation and according to the algorithm established by the legislative framework. Customs clearance of products is inherently their legalization. It includes:

• provision of a full package of accompanying papers;
• payment of duty;
• declaration.

Customs clearance of food products is not always successful. Items from the sanctions list will not be allowed to cross the border. Therefore, foreign trade participants are recommended to first study the list of sanctions:

• countries;
• goods.

Customs clearance of products has its own specifics. Therefore, it can only be carried out at posts with specialized storage warehouses. They are equipped with refrigeration units and powerful refrigerator chambers. Thanks to this, it is possible to take into account all the subtleties of the product:

• processing level;
• shelf life;
• conditions of transportation;
• recommended storage methods;
• possible types of unloading/loading.

Any cargo requires an impressive package of documents. It may vary depending on the product category. But the standard basic list looks like this:

• nomenclature with name;
• description of all positions;
• invoice;
• certificate;
• papers for transportation;
• packing list;
• permit set.

If it is not possible to provide any documents, the cargo will not cross the border. The owner will be issued a fine and given time to correct the defect. Those who still cannot solve the problem will have to return to the starting point.

The customs clearance procedure for food products consists of several stages:

• registration as a foreign trade participant;
• determination of cargo codes;
• duty calculation;
• payment;
• preparation of papers;
• preliminary declaration;
• examination;
• two-level control (currency and phytosanitary);
• customs inspection.

As a result, the importer receives a declaration and permission to release.

But it is not always convenient for importers to deal with these issues on their own. Therefore, they shift the obligation to act on their own behalf to customs brokers.
