Customs clearance of export

Export is a type of foreign economic activity, the essence of which is the sale of goods to foreign partners to make a profit. When exporting goods from Russia as part of a foreign transaction, it is necessary to undergo export customs clearance. To do this, you will need to prepare a package of papers, pay duties and fees, and organize customs control of exported goods.

We are talking about a rather complicated manipulation that requires specific knowledge and connections for successful and prompt passage of the customs point during the sale and registration of the export declaration. The inability to navigate the intricacies of the process leads to loss of time, errors in payment calculations and other unpleasant moments. Saving money on professional customs clearance services in the Russian Federation results in considerable losses due to downtime.

transaction passport or unique contract number (if the value of the transported goods is more than 6,000,000 rubles);

permitting documentation (findings of FSTEC or FSVTS).

In addition to this mandatory list of documents, when customs clearance of goods for export, customs officers may require other papers that confirm the right to export cargo from the country.

Registration of a transaction passport

The first step in documenting export transactions is issuing a transaction passport (hereinafter referred to as the Transaction Passport). It is presented to the bank when making payments through the account of a Russian exporter opened with an authorized bank for goods exported from the customs territory of the Russian Federation under a foreign trade export contract. Documents to obtain a transaction passport must be submitted no later than the first currency transaction under the contract or other fulfillment of obligations under the contract. The foreign exchange transaction in this case can be either shipment under the contract or receipt of funds from the buyer, depending on what was done earlier. For each contract, one transaction passport is issued in one bank in the manner established in Bank of Russia Instruction No. 117-I dated June 15, 2004. To issue a transaction passport, you must submit to the bank : two copies of the PS, filled out in accordance with Appendix 4 to Instruction No. 117-I; contract (agreement), which is the basis for conducting currency transactions under the contract. In addition to the transaction passport, when making mutual settlements with a foreign counterparty, other documents must be submitted to the bank as a currency control authority. The deadlines for submitting documents for specific transactions are as follows: certificate of receipt of currency of the Russian Federation (2 copies) - no later than 15 calendar days following the month of receipt of currency of the Russian Federation received from a foreign counterparty; certificate of currency transactions (2 copies) - no later than 15 calendar days following the month of receipt of currency from the foreign counterparty; certificate of settlements through accounts abroad in the form established by the bank (2 copies), as well as copies of bank statements - no later than 45 calendar days following the month of debiting money from an account with a non-resident bank (crediting money to the account) under the contract with a foreign counterparty. When exporting goods from Russia, a certificate of supporting documents (2 copies), as well as supporting documents (customs declarations) are submitted - within a period agreed with the bank, not exceeding 15 calendar days from the day following the date of release of the exported goods specified in the customs declaration (the date of acceptance of the declaration is when goods are released before declaration). When fulfilling obligations under a contract in a way other than cash, a certificate of supporting documents (2 copies) and the supporting documents themselves, for example a bill of exchange, are also submitted - within a period agreed with the bank, not exceeding 15 calendar days after the date of execution of the documents, confirming the fulfillment of obligations in another way. The forms of these documents are given in the Bank of Russia Instruction No. 117-I dated June 15, 2004 and the Bank of Russia Regulation No. 258-P dated June 1, 2004. The transaction passport is issued before the currency transaction is carried out. After submitting the transaction passport and all necessary documents, the bank verifies them within three working days (clause 3.10 of Instruction No. 117-I). If all documents are completed correctly, both copies of the transaction passport are signed by the bank’s responsible person and certified by the bank’s seal, after which one of the copies of the transaction passport is returned to the resident.

Note! If the total amount of the loan agreement does not exceed the equivalent of 5,000 US dollars at the official exchange rate against the ruble established by the Bank of Russia on the date of conclusion of the loan agreement (in case of a change in the amount of the loan agreement - on the date of the last changes (additions) to the loan agreement providing for such changes ), there is no need to issue a transaction passport (clause 3.2 of Instruction No. 117-I).

The procedure for customs clearance of exports

Customs clearance of exports from Russia includes a set of the following sequential actions, each of which is regulated by the Customs Code of the Customs Union:

Presentation of goods to customs officers. The customs office must be notified of the arrival of the cargo. At the time of presentation of the goods, the carrier assumes full responsibility for them. Cargo that has passed the first stage is temporarily left under customs control.
Registration of the declaration. The document must be submitted electronically or on paper with an electronic copy. The declaration includes information about the goods, the transaction, the owner and the recipient of the cargo. The document is submitted to customs in three copies. To confirm the legality of the operation, it is necessary to have a mark from customs and border authorities on each copy of the declaration.
Making payments. Simultaneously with the registration of the TD, customs duties and fees are paid. Payments can be made by the declarant or any person who represents his interests. If it is impossible to pay the payments at once, the declarant can take a deferment or use installments for a period of no more than two months (including interest).

Filing a customs declaration

The second step in processing export transactions is customs formalities . Regulation of relations with customs authorities, as a rule, is entrusted to specialized organizations - customs brokers, but it is still necessary to prepare certain documents provided for by the Customs Code. The placement of goods under the customs procedure begins from the moment of submission to the customs authority of the customs declaration and (or) documents necessary for placing the goods under the customs procedure in cases provided for by the Customs Code. From January 1, 2011, when exporting goods, a declaration of goods (DT) in the form approved by the Decision of the Customs Union Commission dated May 20, 2010 N 257. In accordance with paragraph 1 of Art. 204 of the Federal Law of November 27, 2010 N 311-FZ “On Customs Regulation in the Russian Federation”, as a general rule, the declaration for goods is submitted in electronic form. As stated in paragraph 4 of Art. 322 of this regulatory act, until January 1, 2014, customs declarations are made in written or electronic form at the choice of the declarant. Permission from the customs authority for the departure of goods from the customs territory of the Customs Union is issued by affixing the corresponding marks of the customs authority on the customs declaration or other document allowing their export from the customs territory of the Customs Union, and on transport (transportation) documents. The declaration must have two marks affixed by the customs service: “ Release permitted ” - rates by an official of the customs authority in which the goods are registered (clause 3, clause 40 of the Instructions on the procedure for filling out the declaration for goods No. 257 and clause 39 of the Instructions on the procedure for filling out cargo customs declaration approved by Order of the Federal Customs Service of Russia dated September 4, 2007 N 1057); “ Goods exported ” - is marked by the border customs authority at the checkpoint through which the goods were exported outside the Russian Federation. There are several types of customs declaration, one of which is a goods declaration. It indicates the following basic information , including in coded form: 1) the declared customs procedure; 2) information about the declarant, customs representative, sender and recipient of goods; 3) about vehicles used for the international transportation of goods and (or) their transportation through the customs territory of the Customs Union under customs control; 4) about vehicles for international transportation and (or) vehicles on which goods were transported (will be transported) through the customs territory of the Customs Union under customs control; 5) information about the goods: name; description; classification code of goods according to the Commodity Nomenclature of Foreign Economic Activity; name of country of origin; name of the country of departure (destination); description of packages (quantity, type, marking and serial numbers); quantity in kilograms (gross weight and net weight) and in other units of measurement; customs value; statistical cost; 6) on the calculation of customs payments: rates of customs duties, taxes, customs fees; application of benefits; amounts of calculated customs duties, taxes, customs fees; exchange rate established in accordance with the legislation of a member state of the Customs Union and used to calculate customs duties in accordance with the Customs Code; 7) about the foreign economic transaction and its main conditions; on compliance with restrictions; 9) about the manufacturer of goods; 10) information confirming compliance with the conditions for placing goods under the customs procedure; 11) about the person who drew up the declaration for goods; 12) place and date of drawing up the goods declaration.

For road transport, this document is either the International Consignment Note CMR (the document was introduced by the Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road), or the consignment note (Form 1-T), approved Resolution of the State Committee of the Russian Federation on Statistics dated November 28, 1997 N 78.

Chambers of commerce and industry have the right to certify certificates of origin of goods (clause “d”, paragraph 1, article 12 of the Law of the Russian Federation of July 7, 1993 N 5340-1 “On Chambers of Commerce and Industry in the Russian Federation”). 6.
