Truck

is a vehicle (VV), a car designed to transport goods in the back or on a loading platform. For the most part, these are heavy-duty vehicles, structurally articulated with a body that is attached to the supporting frame of the vehicle. Trucks include completely different types of vehicles. One group consists of flatbed trucks, the other – vans. This is a division based on design. Trucks also differ in the type of chassis (wheeled, tracked), by the type of power plant (carburetor (with a gasoline engine), diesel (with a diesel engine), by engine size, by type of frame (articulated, solid) , by weight, by the weight of the useful cargo transported. Dump trucks, refrigerators, timber carriers, vehicles for transporting highly radioactive materials, for off-road travel, “new” (up to 3 years) and “used” are distinguished. The latter are “used” are divided into trucks from 3 to 5 years, not older than 7 years and all others. During customs clearance, they require the application of different rates of import customs duties. By the same principle, different customs control measures are differentiated for trucks of different ages. In addition, for all imported into the Russian Federation trucks are subject to the requirements of GOST R 52008-2003 "Motorized four-wheeled off-road vehicles. General technical requirements."

Features of customs clearance of trucks in Russia

When imported into Russia, trucks undergo a customs clearance procedure - they are declared at customs. When clearing trucks through customs, you are required to pay customs duties, VAT, excise taxes and fees.

Only legal entities and individual entrepreneurs have the right to import and carry out customs clearance of trucks in Russia. Individuals cannot carry out customs clearance of trucks.

Important! Customs clearance of trucks and truck tractors whose environmental class is lower than Euro 4 standard is not carried out!

Information about the environmental class is contained in:

Vehicle type approval (VTA);
Certificate of Conformity;
Individual vehicle number (the so-called VIN number, assigned by the manufacturer);
Documents on the vehicle, in particular in the PTS;
Directories, databases and other sources.

Customs clearance of trucks involves providing the following documents to customs:

Customs declaration;
Foreign trade contract;
Invoice (invoice from the seller);
Documentation confirming the fact of payment for the goods (payment documents, bank statements);
Documentation confirming compliance with established prohibitions and restrictions (for example, documents confirming that the imported truck is not a military product);
OTTS or SBCTS (vehicle safety design certificate of category N1);
Documentation confirming the vehicle's compliance with emissions - a consolidated list (you will need to provide a Certificate of compliance with technical regulations TR CU 010/2011 - the document is issued by a Russian accredited body);
Technical documents containing information about the make, model, production date of the truck, engine displacement, its type, environmental class, number of seats other than the driver’s seat, and other necessary information;
Also, when importing trucks or their spare parts, documents confirming compliance with intellectual property requirements may be required: written permission (power of attorney) from the trademark owner or his representative. Before carrying out customs clearance of a truck, it is necessary to find out whether this trademark is included in the Register of Intellectual Property Objects (ROIS) of the Federal Customs Service of Russia.

Register of Intellectual Property Objects (ROIS)

Reference

OTTS – vehicle type approval. This document is required for customs clearance of a commercial batch of trucks. OTTS confirms that the declared vehicles comply with the requirements of the Certification System for Motor Vehicles and Trailers. The declarant must receive a document for each declared vehicle in advance in order to have time to submit it along with the customs declaration. The validity period of approval usually does not exceed 3 years. OTTS is the basis for issuing PTS and registration.

SBCTS is evidence of the safety of the vehicle design. This document is required for customs clearance of imported used vehicles, and is also submitted to the customs authority along with the customs declaration. When clearing trucks through customs, you will need SBCTS of category N1. When clearing trailers and semi-trailers through customs – category O. As a rule, the SBCTS is issued complete with a certificate of compliance with the environmental class. Required documents: copy of the declarant's identity document; PTS; a copy of documents confirming the ownership of the vehicle; certificate of compliance with environmental class; copy of OTTS.

Cars that are allowed to be imported into Russia

So that you can get a title for an American car and register it with the traffic police:

The vehicle must comply with an environmental standard of at least EURO-5, which regulates the maximum permissible content of harmful compounds in exhaust gases. Cars that meet EURO-5 requirements began to be produced in the United States in 2009.
A vehicle imported into the Russian Federation must have the ERA-GLONASS system installed. This applies to both new and used cars. This system allows you to automatically send an alarm signal to emergency services in the event of an accident, and also provides voice communication with them.

What do you need to remember when clearing a truck through customs?

Customs clearance of one truck. According to the Resolution of the Council of Ministers of May 18, 1993 No. 477 “On the introduction of vehicle passports,” trucks with an engine whose displacement is above 50 cm³ are subject to mandatory registration. Customs clearance of trucks is completed after the declarant is issued a passport (PTS).

Customs clearance of a commercial consignment of trucks. Together with the customs declaration, the OTTS is submitted to customs. A vehicle type approval must be issued for each declared vehicle.

Customs clearance of a used truck. The customs declaration is submitted together with the Vehicle Construction Safety Certificate – SBCTS category N1. When clearing trailers (semi-trailers) through customs – SBCTS category O.

What nuances should you consider when buying an American car?

When buying a car from the USA, you should take into account all the nuances of the procedure. Particular attention is paid to the choice of car, the method of purchase, and negotiations with an intermediary (dealer).

The most profitable purchasing option is to buy a car from the owner. The easiest way to purchase this way is to buy a car at auction. The client negotiates with the dealer, who helps select the appropriate vehicle option. This is done through online negotiations and Skype calls.

After selecting a car, they transfer the necessary information about it, the lot number, to the dealer who has the authority to make a purchase.

Reference. You need to be careful when choosing a car dealer. It is he who will organize the purchase, delivery and customs clearance of the vehicle from America, will also take part in the auction and until the very end it may not be clear how much the car will cost its owner.

How much does customs clearance of a truck cost?

The cost of customs clearance of a truck , as a rule, is determined by the amount of accrued customs duties: duties, excise taxes, VAT.

Customs duty on trucks upon import. The amount of import customs duty on a truck is established taking into account the Unified National Economic Activity Code. The code is established by the declarant on the basis of the Basic Rules of Interpretation (GRI). According to the Unified Tax Code of Foreign Economic Activity, the amount of customs duties is set taking into account the weight of the truck, age, as well as the type and displacement of the power plant. The older the truck, the more powerful its engine and the higher its weight, the higher the customs duty rate.

Analysis of the Unified Tax Code of Foreign Economic Activity (CCT of the EAEU) gives us the following gradation of the age of trucks:

Trucks new 0-3 years;
Used trucks 3-5 years;
Used trucks 5-7 years;
Used trucks over 7 years old.

Table 1. Customs duties on trucks for legal entities and individual entrepreneurs

Scheme of variability of import customs duty rates depending on the weight of the car, its age, type and engine size
Vehicle weight	New 0 - 3 years	Used 3 – 5 years	Used 5 – 7 years	Used over 7 years old
Diesel and semi-diesel engines
Weight – up to 5 tons (engine capacity – no higher than 2500 cm³)	duty 10% + 20% VAT	duty 10% + 20% VAT	duty 10%, but not less than (or equal to) 0.13 euro/cm³ + 20% VAT	1 euro/cm³ + 20% VAT

Excise tax on imported trucks. Let us remind you that trucks are excisable goods, that is, upon import they are subject not only to customs duty, but also to excise duty. The amount of excise tax is not constant, it depends on the product code in the Unified Foreign Economic Activity Code, and is levied in rubles for each unit of horsepower. The amount of excise duty can be 1302 rubles, 714 rubles, 45 rubles. per horsepower, and for some groups of goods there may be no excise duty at all (for example, on trucks for transporting highly radioactive materials).

VAT on imported trucks. VAT is a mandatory tax levied upon customs clearance of a truck. The funds collected go directly to the country's budget. Until 2021, when clearing trucks through customs, a VAT rate of 18% was applied. Today it is 20%.

In addition to these payments, you will need to pay customs duties at customs. This is a monetary payment collected by the customs authority that cleared the truck.

Also, the cost of customs clearance of a truck is affected by such “non-customs” expenses as payment for temporary storage warehouse services and the services of a customs representative.

On the World Wide Web you can easily find resources that offer to calculate the amount of customs duties using a truck customs clearance calculator. But, as a rule, the calculation tool they offer is not a customs duties calculator in the full sense of the word. The main goal of such resources is to lure out your contact information. A more accurate calculation of the amount of customs duties can only be given by the customs declarant after he has familiarized himself with the full package of necessary documents.

You can always leave a request for a consultation with a professional declarant on our website, or by calling +7 (495) 2815088.

Where is customs clearance of trucks carried out in Russia?

Customs clearance of trucks is carried out at excise customs posts subordinate to the excise customs. Excise customs posts differ from ordinary customs posts in that they are authorized to carry out customs clearance of goods subject to excise duty (cars, petroleum products, alcohol, tobacco products).

Time limits for customs clearance of trucks. According to the provisions of Article 119 of the EAEU Labor Code, customs clearance of trucks in Russia is completed by the customs authority within 4 hours. If the customs post does not have time to complete this operation before the end of the working day, then the customs clearance procedure for trucks may be postponed to the next working day.
