Introduction

This standard has been developed taking into account the provisions of standard conformity assessment schemes approved by the Decision of the Council of the Eurasian Economic Commission dated April 18, 2021 No. 44 “On standard conformity assessment schemes”. Before changes are made to the technical regulations of the Eurasian Economic Union (Customs Union) relating to the establishment of forms, schemes and procedures for assessing conformity based on standard schemes approved by the said Decision, this standard should be followed when carrying out mandatory and voluntary confirmation of conformity at the national level in terms not contradicting the provisions established in regulatory legal acts.

What changes to consider

Samples and samples are now taken no later than 3 working days from the date when the declarant and other persons authorized in relation to the goods were notified of the appointment of the examination (clause 4 of Order No. 384). Until September 27, 2021, there was more time for selection - a maximum of 5 working days from the same date.

The Appendix to Order No. 384 contains a new table with the minimum number (volume) of samples and samples of goods under the EAEU Commodity Code for Foreign Economic Activity, which are necessary for experts to conduct research. It is significantly larger (97 positions) and more detailed than the previous one. For example, the new table contains shoes. It must be provided in the amount of 3 pairs.

The general approach is this:

PRODUCT TYPE HOW MUCH TO PROVIDE
The product is packaged in consumer packaging with a gross weight of 100 to 1000 grams3 packs
The product is packaged in consumer packages over 1000 grams1 package
The product is not destroyed in the process of expert research (fur product, TV)1 copy

In general, customs officers have the right to take samples of goods only in the specified minimum quantities, ensuring the possibility of their examination.

Note - If the samples are located in the certification body, the words “testing laboratory (center)” should be replaced with the words “certification body” with the relevant information.

General rules

The selection of samples and/or specimens of goods is confirmed by an electronic act on this with an enhanced qualified electronic signature of an authorized official of the customs authority. It is printed in 3 copies and each one is signed:

  • declarant or other person with authority over the goods;
  • a representative of the designated postal operator who was present during the selection - when moving goods in international mail;
  • two witnesses - in the absence of these persons.

If it is impossible to transport samples of goods to the customs authority or to another expert organization (expert), such an act on the inspection and examination of samples of goods on site is also drawn up.

The results of the customs examination are mandatory for the customs authority that appointed it. But except for cases of appointment of additional and/or repeated customs examination.

New regulations

From September 27, 2021, the procedure for sampling and/or samples of goods for customs examination is regulated by Order No. 384 of the Federal Customs Service of Russia dated May 7, 2021 (hereinafter referred to as Order No. 384).

At the same time, the previous similar regulation, approved by Order of the Federal Customs Service dated November 20, 2014 No. 2264, was declared invalid. Note that it also established the procedure for suspending the period for conducting a customs examination. Order No. 384 does not regulate this.

The basis for sampling/sampling by a customs official is the decision to appoint a customs examination.
