How much does it cost to clear customs and register a car in Kazakhstan?

Which is cheaper: clearing a car through customs or buying the same one in Kazakhstan?

The customs duty is 17% of the cost of the car. The cost is indicated in the declaration by the car owners themselves. You must include a receipt and a sales contract as proof. If there is no receipt, and the price indicated in the declaration is lower than the market price, customs officers make an assessment themselves.

But owners of cars purchased in Armenia and Kyrgyzstan will not have to pay 17% of the cost of the car. Since when importing a car into the EAEU country (Armenia, Kyrgyzstan), a customs duty of 10% of the cost of the car has already been paid, the owners will have to pay the difference between the paid duty and the Kazakh duty.

Example. When importing a car to Armenia, its customs value was 5 million tenge. Until January 1, 2021, a duty of 10% was in force in Armenia - 500,000 tenge. Let’s say this car has now reached Kazakhstan. To clear it through customs, you need to pay the difference (17% of 5 million tenge = 850,000 tenge, and the difference between customs payments: 850,000 – 500,000 = 350,000 tenge). If the customs value of the car has not changed during this time, you will need to pay 350 thousand tenge.

The VAT rate is traditionally 12%. It is calculated based on the customs value of the car plus customs duties.

Recycling collection

This payment depends on the size of the monthly calculation indicator approved for this year. It is equal to 50 MCI multiplied by the engine displacement coefficient, from 3 to 23.

• 3 – volume up to liter.
• 7 – volume from liter to two.
• 10 – volume from two to three liters.
• 23 – engine capacity over three liters.

This payment also depends on the size of the monthly calculation index, but the calculation takes into account the age of the car.

• For registration of a car less than three years old inclusive, you will need to pay 50 MCI.
• For a car older than three years, the payment is ten times more - 500 calculated indicators.

About new tariffs for customs clearance of cars in Kazakhstan

The cost of the procedure depends on the following conditions:

• whether environmental standards are met;
• when the car was imported into the territory of the EAEU;
• the amount of fees for registration in Kazakhstan.

The cheapest option is a small vehicle between three and five years old, purchased by an individual for personal use. For individuals there is a single customs rate. For legal entities – total customs payment.

Vehicles registered in the Republic of Kazakhstan and other countries that are members of the customs union are not subject to additional taxes. You only need to pay funds for paperwork and travel to the place of purchase of the car, as well as transportation to the territory of the Russian Federation.

How much does it cost to clear a car through customs in 2021?

It is worth moving a car from another country for several reasons:

• if you want to save money on buying an imported car;
• get a reliable car from the manufacturing country;
• purchase a rare model that is difficult to buy in Russia.

It seems that bringing a car from abroad is simple. I bought it and returned with the long-awaited new thing to Russia (or brought it with the help of an intermediary).

In fact, you will have to go through several stages of customs clearance, otherwise you will not be able to register the car with the traffic police, and therefore not use it in our country either.

Alena Khotmirova, customs clearance expert:

These countries are members of the Eurasian Economic Union and provide for a single customs territory. Belarus and Kazakhstan have the same amount of duties. After paying for them, upon entering Russia, all that remains is to pay the recycling fee and equip the GLONASS system. Belarus is also popular because of its proximity to Europe; good models go there.

There will be no significant savings with Armenia and Kyrgyzstan, although preferential customs clearance rules apply there. But at the border with Russia, you will most likely be asked to pay the remaining amount for registration, recycling fees and installation of GLONASS.

Labor migration and mass resettlement of citizens of Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan to Russia force them to look for solutions to legalize the vehicles they use. For Russians, it is profitable to buy cars from these countries for reasons that we will discuss later. There are two ways in this situation:

• Temporary importation.
• Full registration of the car.

The car markets of Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan are attractive to us for the following reasons:

• Many popular models are produced, for example, in Kazakhstan, and you simply cannot find them in Russia.
• The cost of cars there is significantly lower.

The car must be registered in the EAEU country and comply with the environmental requirements of Russian legislation.

Today it is Euro 5. Customs duties there, as already noted, have been lower for a long time. Therefore, it is quite possible to purchase a high-quality and relatively new car at a favorable price.

Changing your place of residence requires full legalization of not only personal documents, but also personal transport. Russia is striving to simplify the solution of this problem as much as possible. Inclusion in the resettlement program completely eliminates taxes, fees and duties for one imported car. Moreover, at the time of crossing the Russian border, the car must have been owned by the family for at least a year.

Register a car from the EAEU: who to pay and how much

The final price for the consumer consists of several factors: search, registration, delivery. In this chain, the question of how much it costs to clear a car through customs takes almost the main place. If the car has not passed customs clearance in Kyrgyzstan or Kazakhstan according to existing rules, the procedure is inevitable. Tariffs are now uniform for the entire EAEU space. If, when importing to Kyrgyzstan or the Republic of Kazakhstan, customs duties have already been paid or the car was produced on the territory of these countries, then you will not have to pay customs clearance duties in the Russian Federation.

It should be noted that without the customs clearance procedure (receiving a Russian PTS), it will not be possible to register a car in Russia, even if it was imported from one of the countries included in the EAEU, and fines are provided for refusal or late fulfillment of customs clearance requirements.

As already noted, you don’t have to think about customs clearance for a year if the car has been temporarily imported. The period can be extended under certain circumstances. In other cases, you are given a day to declare your desire to go through the customs clearance procedure. If you simply drive a car using some kind of semi-criminal scheme, you can lose it.

The procedure for adapting cars from Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan has become easier for both Russian and citizens of the EAEU countries. The meaning of the common economic space is the free movement of goods, including cars, and avoidance of double taxation. In this regard, we can draw conclusions:

1. Purchasing a car in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan is still profitable. From the beginning of 2021, common tariffs have been applied, which reduces the difference in cost to a minimum.
2. The period for temporary import of cars for Russians has been increased to 1 year.
3. Customs clearance in full is not needed if it has already been carried out in the EAEU country, but to register in the Russian Federation it will be necessary to obtain a Russian PTS at the customs office at your place of residence.
4. Participants in the resettlement program need a simple renewal of documents.

Customs clearance of cars when imported into Russia from Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan in 2021

To carry out the procedure, you must provide a certain set of documents to customs:

1. Internal and foreign passports of the person importing the car.
2. Technical passport of the car.
3. Certificate of compliance of the vehicle with environmental standards in force in Russia.
4. An application in which the car owner requests to carry out customs clearance of the car and return to him the funds contributed as customs security.
5. A receipt stating that the car owner has deposited security funds into the customs deposit account.
6. Notification of the vehicle's arrival at the customs temporary storage warehouse.
7. An expert opinion indicating the technical characteristics of the car.
8. Customs declaration form TD-6.
9. Vehicle registration card with attached declaration in form TD-7.
10. Documents confirming the purchase of the car. Most often this is a purchase and sale agreement.
11. Documents confirming that the car is insured under the MTPL contract.

To carry out the customs clearance procedure, the motorist must take the following actions:

1. Selecting a vehicle. At this stage, you need to determine the brand of car you want to buy, choose a seller, and also calculate the cost of customs clearance based on the characteristics of the car.
2. Determining the delivery method. You need to decide how the car will get to the border. You can order its delivery from a specialized transport company, but it will be much cheaper to carry it out yourself.

After the first two steps, you need to make a general calculation of expenses. Based on its results, it often turns out that buying a car abroad is unprofitable and it will be much cheaper to buy it in Russia. If the purchase is still cheaper than at home, we proceed to the following steps:

1. Depositing the security deposit with the customs office. In order to ensure customs clearance, it is necessary to deposit the approximate cost of the car into the customs account. This must be done in advance, since the money may take several days to reach your bank account from the moment of payment. If you transfer them too late, then at the time the car crosses the border, the amount may not be deposited with the customs authority.
2. Buying a car and importing it to Russia.
3. Filling out the necessary documents.
4. Car insurance. At the moment when the car crosses the border, it must be insured under MTPL.
5. Acceptance of the vehicle and title at the customs office. If customs clearance was successful, you need to pick up the car and the technical equipment passport at the specified time.

There are some tricks that will allow you to save on customs clearance. So, if you live near the border of the country from which you imported the car, upon import you can inform that the car is passing through Russian territory in transit. In this case, you will have to cross the border in this car at least once a month.

You can also enter a car without an engine. Then you will not have to carry out customs clearance according to the rules provided for a full-fledged car. The engine can be imported separately or purchased in our country.

The customs clearance process is quite complex and lengthy. It is important to foresee all changes in legislation (to track them in a timely manner), not to forget any documents, to know all the nuances and legal subtleties. Any violation of the rules will result in loss of time and money. You will not have any problems if you entrust all the work to our company.

In 2009, the Customs Union was formed, which included Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan. The movement of goods across its territory is regulated by the Customs Code of the Customs Union. Its effect also applies to the import of cars into member states of the Customs Union. Unfortunately, Abkhazia and Georgia are not among them, so the cost of customs clearance for them is similar to imports from car-producing countries such as the USA, Japan, Germany and Korea.

Has customs clearance of cars in Kazakhstan become cheaper?

What affects the cost of customs clearance?

1. Car service life.
2. Engine's type.
3. Type of vehicle.
4. Who is the buyer - an individual or a legal entity?
5. The state where the car was produced.

If the seller sets a low price, then this should lead to the idea that the vehicle imported from abroad did not undergo customs clearance. There is a high probability that you will have to pay a significant cost, and this is approximately half of the cost of the car.

In order for the buyer not to have problems with registering the vehicle, you need to familiarize yourself with the rules for registering a purchase in the country. The process of driving from Kazakhstan is simplified and there is no need to pay duties or obtain a new vehicle passport.

There is a duplicate electronic form of passports. It will facilitate verification and provision of information to customs. There are no additional procedures for cars imported from Kazakhstan.

Even despite the increase in requirements for cars imported into the Russian Federation, the increase in the cost of customs clearance for those wishing to purchase a car in Kazakhstan is increasing. Car prices in the USA and Japan are among the lowest in the world. Russian citizens deliver cars through Kazakhstan, as they have a simplified import procedure.

To clear a car through customs and receive a title, at the border you must provide an SBCTS - a certificate of safety of the vehicle design. If this document was received before January 1, 2021, the car can still be registered and delivered. But if the certificate is issued after this period, then it must contain a note about the installation of an in-vehicle emergency call device on the car. And not just any manufacturer, but specifically “Era-GLONAS” manufacturer.

You won't be able to install the system yourself. Its effectiveness must be proven by crash tests carried out according to all the rules, that is, at least two cars with the same characteristics will have to be crashed to confirm the serviceability of the system. At the moment, the SOS button of the Era-GLONAS system is standardly equipped with two models of Russian cars - Vesta and Xray (famous Samara manufacturer).

The possibility of importing heavily used cars becomes almost impossible due to huge import fees, particularly recycling fees.

A legal entity purchases a loader crane abroad at a price of 100,000 euros, including VAT of 12,300 euros. The cost of delivering a car to the border of Kazakhstan (under your own power) is 1,500 euros. The buyer wishes to retain the right of resale. The cost of customs clearance S will be:

S=(100000+1500+50+((100000+1500)*0.05))*0.14=14927.5 euros

A legal entity purchases a crane abroad at a price of 100,000 euros, including VAT of 12,300 euros, and a dump truck at a price of 50,000 euros, including VAT of 6,140 euros. The cost of delivering cars to the border of Kazakhstan (on your own) is 1,500 euros per car. The buyer wishes to purchase special equipment for personal use. The cost of customs clearance S will be:

S=(150000+3000+(50+20+(100000+1500)*0.05)+(50000+1500)*0)*0.14-(6140+12300)=3700.3 euros

There are specific features for importing cars from the countries of the EAEU customs union, the rules of which are slightly different from each other. When buying a car in Belarus and Kazakhstan, the customs rules for paying import duties at customs are the same. Therefore, when importing into the Russian Federation, you only need to equip the car with a Glonass button and pay a recycling fee. And when importing from Armenia or Kyrgyzstan, you will most likely have to pay extra for the difference in underpaid payments, because In these countries, preferential national customs clearance is applied. True, there are exceptions: cars imported into Armenia before 2014 are cleared through customs in the Russian Federation without additional customs duties.

A recycling fee is also paid and Glonass is installed. The purchased car must be deregistered in the seller’s country, after which the registration and receipt of the title takes place at the excise customs of the Russian Federation at the place of registration of the buyer.

Documents and information for customs clearance of a car in Russia by an individual and obtaining a title:

1. Contract of sale
2. Passenger car buyer's passport
3. Technical certificate
4. Payment of a deposit at customs in advance (if the car is planned to be imported under its own power)

Excavator customs clearance services

An excavator is a general name for a number of heavy specialized machines of various configurations and sizes. In general, they are divided into three subgroups: • tracked; • wheeled; • backhoe loaders. Official customs clearance of an excavator is carried out only for an individual entrepreneur or legal entity. An ordinary person does not have the right to import and register such equipment. However, there is a way out. When delivering from abroad, an excavator can be registered first with a company, and then transferred under a contract to an individual. This will simplify the customs clearance procedure. The amount of duty charged does not depend on the year of manufacture, dimensions or power of the excavator and is 5% of its passing cost.

The fee rate for initial registration for truck tractors has changed

The Ministry of Internal Affairs decided to single out such cars from the general mass for additional control. Therefore, license plates are placed on a yellow background and marked with the 18th number.

After temporary registration, owners of cars imported from the EAEU countries must undergo customs clearance of the imported vehicle within a year, paying all the required taxes and payment for the disposal of the car.

Customs duty rates on cars for individual citizens of Uzbekistan are calculated as a percentage of the customs value of the car in US dollars for each cubic centimeter of the engine.

Value added tax (VAT) is charged at 20% of the cost of the car and the excise tax on it. For example, if a used car from the USA costs $10,000, and the excise tax is $2,000, then the VAT will be $2,400: 12,000*20%.

When paying value added tax for used cars, no benefits are provided.

When clearing a used car from the USA in Uzbekistan, a fee is paid to the Republican Road Fund in the amount of 6 to 11% of the minimum wage for each horsepower, depending on the age of the car.

From January 1, 2021, Uzbekistan introduced preferential tariffs for customs clearance of new cars costing over $40,000 and electric vehicles.

When clearing new expensive cars through customs, a zero import customs duty rate is applied. However, an excise tax of 20% of the customs value and 20% VAT (but not more than $3,000) remained.

From January 1, 2021, Uzbekistan has established a zero customs duty rate on electric vehicles. The excise tax on the import of electric vehicles into Uzbekistan has been cancelled. When importing an electric car, you only need to pay VAT and customs clearance fees and to the Republican Road Fund.

The cost of customs clearance has dropped 20 times! From January 1, 2021, in Uzbekistan it is possible to clear customs of a used car from the USA much cheaper. The law establishes a zero rate of customs duty on electric vehicles, and the excise tax on the import of electric vehicles is abolished. When importing an electric car, you only need to pay VAT, customs clearance fees and a contribution to the Republican Road Fund.

Before taking a car out of Kaliningrad, it will have to be cleared through customs. There are two methods on how you can do this.

The choice of one or another method depends on when the car was imported into Kaliningrad:

1. The car came “to the region” before 2000 inclusive. At the same time, she was registered on the basis of benefits. In this case, the future buyer will have to pay all customs duties. Individuals do this according to a simplified scheme, legal entities - according to the full program.
2. The car was imported to Kaliningrad in 2001 and later. When registering, VAT and excise duty were paid. In this case, individuals will also pay fees according to a simplified scheme, depending on the age of the vehicle. Legal entities pay the full amount of customs duties.

The fee for state registration of cars or trailers used in the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan is 0.25 MCI (662.75 tenge).

Primary registration (the fee for it) is for ordinary passenger cars under two years of age, including the year of manufacture - 0.25 MCI (662.75 tenge), from two to three years, including the year of manufacture - 50 MCI (132,550 tenge ) and older than three years, including the year of issue - 500 MCI (1,325,500 tenge).

For trucks and buses, the coefficients and payment will be higher, for electric vehicles - lower.

A technical passport in Kazakhstan is issued for 1.25 MCI and costs 3,313.75 tenge.

A regular license plate or two duplicates - 2.8 MCI, or 7,422.8 tenge. One duplicate is half the price.

The tax amount for old passenger cars and new passenger cars (with an engine capacity of up to 3 liters) also ranges from one to 117 MCI. In terms of tenge from January 1, 2021, it is equal to from 2,651 to 310,167 tenge .

For passenger cars with an engine capacity of over 3,000 cubic centimeters, produced in Kazakhstan after December 31, 2013 or imported into the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan after the same date, the tax this year will be from 92,785 to 530,200 tenge plus 7 tenge for each unit of excess volume .

Earlier it became known that Armenian and Kyrgyz cars that have been in Kazakhstan for more than a year will be illegal. It was noted that in the near future the police will begin to expel cars with “foreign” license plates from the country. In this regard, in January 2021, the Ministry of Internal Affairs urged Kazakhstanis to register cars registered outside the country. According to the department, more than 170 thousand vehicles registered in Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Belarus and Russia were imported into the country. In 2021, such cars in Kazakhstan violated traffic rules more than 90 thousand times. The amount of fines amounted to more than 1.1 billion tenge.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan is ready to advise everyone on the registration of foreign vehicles - on January 17 and 18, the next republican campaign “Reception on the Road” is taking place in Kazakhstan with the launch of a “direct line” to clarify questions regarding the registration of vehicles purchased by citizens of Kazakhstan abroad and imported into our country.

Kazakhstanis are advised by employees of the Administrative Police Committee by phone:

• 8, 71 58 39, 71 58 04, 71 58 06, 71 58 62 (from 09:00 to 19:00, except weekends).

• truck cranes, manipulator cranes and excavators - five percent each,
• crawler tractors - fifteen percent.

But dump trucks, loaders, agricultural tractors, concrete pumps are not subject to duty. There is also a zero rate for all equipment produced in the Russian Federation.

A car imported from abroad of the Russian Federation must be placed in the customs control zone - temporary storage warehouse. Temporary storage warehouse is a temporary storage warehouse for a car. It is located on the territory of the customs office at your place of residence.
