Presentation "Classification decision"
When delivering complex equipment (for example, a production line) from abroad to the territory of the Russian Federation, it is worth obtaining a classification decision from the Federal Customs Service to indicate the classification of goods in the declaration. This is the main document on which the import duty rate and the amount of other payments depend. In addition, this significantly simplifies the customs clearance process, because the equipment within the framework of a given delivery will be declared with one code, and not different for each component.
The catch is that quite often customs officials, when registering complex equipment, refuse to classify the goods according to the code declared by the declarant and require additional permitting documentation. Otherwise, the customs authority assigns the EAEU HS code that it deems necessary.
Both options - additional documents and a different code - are undesirable for the declarant. The first threatens with delays and an increase in the time required for customs clearance, and in the worst case, also with administrative liability and the imposition of fines. The second option, when customs itself assigns a code, means that the declarant will pay more duties than planned, because customs, as a rule, assigns the code for which import and other payments are higher.
How to get the desired HS code?
Classifying a product by the correct code is a difficult, but completely solvable task. Importers have the opportunity to contact the customs authority in advance to obtain a preliminary classification decision, which the customs post will be obliged to follow when processing the delivery.
There are preliminary classification decisions issued at the level of regional customs departments - TsTU, SZTU, YuTU, etc. And there are classification decisions for equipment that is unassembled, disassembled, incomplete or unfinished. Making these classification decisions is within the competence of the Federal Customs Service. They are more complex than preliminary ones in terms of the package of required documents.
Typically, the period for obtaining a preliminary classification decision is 1.5 months, although the regulations define 90 days. But it will be valid for 3 years and will prevent the code from being challenged by customs officers. The issuance of a preliminary classification decision is a public service, which means that the customs authority charges a fee for it.
Of course, optimizing customs payments in a legal way implies the presence of pitfalls and obstacles. To receive the desired code, you need to confirm the correctness of the classification so that the RTU or FCS - depending on where you apply - does not have even a shadow of doubt about your correctness.
Various factors may be the basis for refusal to confirm the declared code. For example, incomplete information about the characteristics of the product or contradictions identified in the documents provided are provided. The absence of the necessary certificates or a contract drawn up with errors can also become a reason for refusal to assign the desired code. Preparing documents to obtain a preliminary classification decision is painstaking and complex intellectual work, but the result pays for the resources spent.
The ideal option for importing a large and voluminous consignment of goods is to take care in advance to have on hand classification solutions that establish a single code for the entire cargo. The regulations for issuing a preliminary CD are determined by Order No. 1907 of the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation dated September 24. 2012. You should contact the regional customs department for it.
