Customs authorities: concept, structure, system and principles of activity

Home Customs post

A customs post is a customs authority that is part of a single centralized system of the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation and ensures the implementation of the tasks and functions of the Federal Customs Service of Russia in the region of operation of the customs post (as defined by Order of the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation dated September 4, 2014 N 1701 “On approval of the General Regulations on the Customs Post ").

The legal status, duties and powers of posts are enshrined in the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the Customs Code of the Customs Union, Federal Law No. 311-FZ dated November 27, 2010 “On customs regulation in the Russian Federation”, Order of the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation dated September 4, 2014 No. 1701 “On approval General Regulations on the Customs Post”, other federal regulations and international treaties of the Russian Federation.

Customs posts (CP)

- These are territorial executive bodies. They are responsible for their region of operation, which may include:

• Municipalities
  (settlements, districts, checkpoints). For example: customs post Pogarsky (code 10102080), operates within the Pogarsky municipal formation of the Bryansk region, TP MAPP Nekhoteevka (code 10101120), operates within the multilateral automobile checkpoint (MACP) “Nekhoteevka” of the Belgorod region.
• Transport infrastructure facilities
  - river or sea port, airport, railway station, etc. For example: customs post Vnukovo-cargo Airport (code 10001020), or TP Seaport of Kaliningrad named after N.S. Khazov (code 10012170) in the Kaliningrad region.
• Large enterprises
  . Territorial bodies of the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation may be located on the territory of some large enterprises, for example: the customs post of the Novolipetsk Metallurgical Plant (code 10109020).

Customs posts report directly to customs or regional customs departments and are the lowest link in the customs system. However, it is at the post level that most of the customs operations for declaring, importing and exporting goods are carried out.

How many customs posts are there in Russia? Today there are 537 divisions in the Russian Federation. 93 of them are under the jurisdiction of customs offices directly subordinate to the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation (Vnukovo customs, Domodedovo customs, etc.). Another 3 are directly subordinate to RTU.

Goals

The customs border is the parameters of free warehouses and economic zones. And also all the borders of the territory of the Russian Federation. This customs territory is ensured by law and order, protection of the rights and interests of all citizens, society, organizations and the state through a system of certain bodies. Violations of legislation and regulations in this area (for example, cases of smuggling) entail criminal and administrative liability.

Customs authorities exist for both economic and law enforcement purposes. The latter are aimed at maintaining the security of the state, the environment, health and life of people. The economic goals pursued by customs authorities are replenishing state budget revenues and protecting the interests of Russian producers by establishing restrictions, quotas and tariffs.

Tasks

The Constitution of the Russian Federation prescribes the exclusive monopoly of the state over all customs activities. This is ensured by a number of factors:

• Unified customs policy.
• Unity of border and territory.
• A unified system and general regulation of activities carried out by customs authorities.

The organization and legal basis are determined by the Customs Code of the Russian Federation, as well as individual laws and regulations, and international treaties. If other countries with Russia establish other rules not provided for by domestic legislation, then, according to the Constitution, the rules of international treaties can be applied. The tasks that the customs system solves are the following:

1. Development of appropriate policy for the Russian Federation, its implementation.
2. Participation in organizing and improving the department's system.
3. Ensuring the unity of the customs territory and the security of the Russian economy.
4. Protecting the interests of the Russian economy.
5. International cooperation in the field of customs issues and problems.

Customs system

This is a single centralized system, which includes the following government bodies:

• State Customs Committee of the Russian Federation.
• Customs departments in the regions of the Russian Federation.
• The departments themselves.
• Posts.

There are also special divisions in this system: laboratories, scientific, research and educational institutions, computer centers, other organizations and enterprises. The customs authorities of the Russian Federation are headed by the State Customs Committee with a chairman. He is appointed and dismissed by the President of Russia. The board, formed as an advisory body under the chairman, considers the most important issues. It includes not only a chairman and deputies, but also other competent employees. The Committee also has an Advisory Council that controls the customs authorities of the Russian Federation. It also reviews and analyzes departmental policies.

Organizational structure of customs authorities

The system of customs authorities of the Russian Federation consists of:

a) the federal service authorized in the field of customs affairs;

b) regional customs departments;

c) customs;

d) customs posts.

RTU, customs and customs posts operate on the basis of provisions approved by the Federal Customs Service of Russia.

The standard structures of customs authorities were approved by order of the Federal Customs Service of Russia dated May 16, 2006 No. 443.

The system of customs authorities also includes institutions that are not law enforcement agencies, which are under the jurisdiction of the federal service authorized in the field of customs affairs to ensure the activities of customs authorities.

The direct management of customs regulation is carried out by the Federal Customs Service of Russia; all components of customs affairs are constantly in the focus of attention of the leadership of this body, its board, departments and departments, as well as the lower customs authorities directly subordinate to it, functionally and organizationally deeply connected and operating under its leadership. One of the areas of such direct management, in addition to systematic organizational measures, is regulatory activity, which is very extensive and covers essentially all elements and areas of customs business. The Federal Customs Service of Russia solves some of its tasks and functions directly, and some through regional customs departments, customs houses, customs posts and other subordinate organizations and institutions.

In accordance with the Customs Code of the Russian Federation and Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of July 26, 2006 No. 459 “On the Federal Customs Service,” this body is entrusted with many functions and tasks, of which can be grouped into four interrelated blocks: economic; law enforcement; information and analytical; social protection of officials.

To perform these functions, the Federal Customs Service of Russia determines the features of the legal regulation of customs regimes; restricts or prohibits the import of certain categories of goods into free customs zones or places them in free warehouses; participates in the development and organizes compliance with the permitting procedure for the movement of certain goods and vehicles across the customs border of the Russian Federation.

Activities to implement management functions necessitate a clear organizational structure of the system, the creation of an organizational structure of the customs authority, i.e. consistency of its constituent elements, establishing a stable connection between them, which ensures the sustainability of the functioning of this body.

Regional customs departments (RTU) of the Russian Federation are an intermediate link between the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation and customs. RTUs are part of a unified system of customs authorities and carry out operational management of customs affairs in the territory of their subordinate regions.

Customs is part of the unified system of customs authorities of the Russian Federation and carries out its activities under the general leadership of the Federal Customs Service of Russia (hereinafter referred to as the FCS) of Russia and the direct leadership of the regional customs department to which it is subordinate. At the same time, individual customs houses, by decision of the Federal Customs Service, may be directly subordinate to it, such as, for example, Vnukovo, Domodedovo and Sheremetyevo customs.

The territory of the region of activity (subordinate region) of customs is determined by the Federal Customs Service based on a proposal or taking into account the opinion of the regional customs department. In the manner determined by the Federal Customs Service, Regional Customs Directorates (hereinafter referred to as RTU) have the right to change the jurisdictional region of the directly subordinate customs.

The limits of the region under the jurisdiction of customs may or may not coincide with the administrative boundaries of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

From the point of view of the location of the region of activity, customs are conventionally divided into border and internal.

Border customs offices are located at the customs border, which usually coincides with the state border, and are connected to major transport hubs (ports, airports, border railway stations). Examples of such customs offices include Baltic, Belgorod, Blagoveshchensk, Kaliningrad, Krasnodar, Murmansk, Pytalovsk and Ussuriysk. Internal ones include, in particular, Bryansk, Vladimir, Ivanovo, Kazan, Magnitogorsk, Nizhny Novgorod and Rostov customs.

The creation, reorganization and liquidation of customs offices is carried out by the Federal Customs Service. The creation, reorganization and liquidation of customs offices directly subordinate to the RTU is carried out on the basis of a proposal or taking into account the opinion of the RTU.

The customs posts located on the territory of the subordinate region are directly subordinate to the customs, with the exception of those directly subordinate to higher customs authorities.

Customs solve the bulk of problems in the field of customs. They carry out these tasks through directly subordinate (lower-level) customs posts, as well as in interaction with territorial bodies of other federal executive districts, executive bodies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, local government bodies, legal entities and individuals. The legal status of customs is determined by the General Regulations on Customs.

By means of special regulations, the FCS can determine both the specific features of the activities of individual customs offices and the activities of specialized customs offices.

Specialized customs houses carry out special customs operations or carry out customs control over the movement of individual (specific) goods across the customs border. An example of such a customs is the Central Energy Customs of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the CET), the Central Excise Customs (hereinafter referred to as the CAT), which are directly subordinate to the FCS. From the point of view of the specifics of the actions carried out by customs authorities and their officials in relation to goods and vehicles during customs clearance, customs offices differ by land, sea, air, and river.

The main functions of customs are dictated by the tasks assigned to it. The General Regulations specify 65 functions. The specificity lies in the fact that on issues of working with personnel, customs works on the selection and placement of customs personnel and lower customs posts; forms a reserve of personnel for promotion to leadership positions and conducts their training; conducts certification of its employees and employees of lower customs posts; provides their initial professional training and retraining and advanced training.

Customs has the right to distribute and redistribute between structural divisions and subordinate customs posts the staffing level within the limits of the wage fund allocated by the Federal Customs Service and the total (maximum) staffing level of customs and subordinate customs posts; approve and make changes to the structure of customs and subordinate customs posts, taking into account the standard structure of customs and customs posts.

The structure, staffing levels of customs and the wage fund are approved by the Federal Customs Service. The higher customs authority has the right to make additions and changes to the structure of the customs and the number of its structural divisions, as well as establish the total (maximum) staffing level of the customs.

The customs office is headed by a chief who is appointed and dismissed by order of the Federal Customs Service. The head of customs, subordinate to the regional customs department, is appointed to the position and dismissed from office upon proposal or taking into account the opinion of the head of this department.

The first deputy head of customs, chief accountant (head of the accounting and control department) of customs are appointed to the position and dismissed by orders of the Federal Customs Service. In relation to the customs office subordinate to the RTU, the indicated persons are appointed to and dismissed from office upon the proposal of the head of the RTU to whom the customs office is directly subordinated.

Deputy heads of customs are appointed and dismissed by orders of a higher customs authority on the proposal of the head of customs and in agreement with the relevant functional divisions of the Federal Customs Service.

Heads of other independent structural units of customs are appointed and dismissed by orders of customs in agreement with the relevant functional unit of the higher customs authority.

Heads of other independent structural divisions of customs are appointed to the position and dismissed from it by orders of customs in agreement with the relevant functional unit of the higher customs authority.

Heads and employees of customs internal security units are appointed to positions and dismissed on the basis of separate legal acts of the Federal Customs Service.

The head of customs manages the activities of customs based on the principle of unity of command; he exercises general management of the activities of customs posts and control over them; bears personal responsibility for the implementation of the tasks and functions assigned to customs; distributes responsibilities among his deputies and establishes the degree of their responsibility; on the basis and in pursuance of legislation, signs (approves) orders and other legal acts and documents, organizes checks of their implementation; represents customs in government bodies; approves regulations on structural divisions of customs; appoints and dismisses customs officers, and in established cases, lower customs posts, etc.

The customs office is part of the unified system of customs authorities of the Russian Federation and carries out its activities under the general leadership of the FCS and RTU and under the direct supervision of customs or RTU (in the case of direct subordination to the department).

The decision on the direct subordination of a customs post to one or another regional customs department is made by the Federal Customs Service, including upon presentation or taking into account the opinion of the relevant department. Individual customs posts may be, by decision of the Federal Customs Service, subordinated directly to it. The Federal Customs Service also determines the territory of the region of activity (subordinate region) of the customs post, which is part of the region subordinate to the customs, to which this customs post is directly subordinate. And finally, the FCS carries out the creation, reorganization and liquidation of a customs post.

The structure of the customs post and its staffing is approved by the Federal Customs Service.

The customs post is headed by a chief, whose appointment and dismissal is carried out: by order of the Federal Customs Service - in relation to a customs post that is a legal entity; by order of the RTU - in relation to a customs post subordinate directly to the department; by order of the RTU on the proposal of the head of customs and in agreement with the relevant functional departments of the department - in relation to a customs post subordinate directly to customs; by order of customs - in relation to a customs post subordinate to customs directly subordinate to the Federal Customs Service.

Other officials of the customs post with the status of a legal entity are appointed to the position and dismissed from it by order of the customs post, and those without the status of a legal entity - by order of the customs office.

The head of the customs post manages the activities of the customs post based on the principle of unity of command.

The management structure of an organization is aimed at establishing clear relationships between its individual divisions and at distributing rights and responsibilities between them. It determines the composition and subordination system in the overall structure of the management hierarchy. At the same time, the best structure is considered to be the one that optimally allows the organization to effectively interact with the external environment, productively distribute and direct the efforts of its employees to achieve a common goal.

There are two main types of organizational structures: bureaucratic (or hierarchical) and adaptive. To date, the Russian customs authorities have formed a hierarchical structure, representing a four-level management system.

Most organizations today are moving towards adaptive management structures. There are three types of such structures: matrix, three-dimensional, virtual.

Issues of improving the organizational structure of the staffing level of customs authorities occupy an important place in improving management.

In the Federal Customs Service, Central, Western, North-Western customs departments, in a number of customs institutions and departments, such as the St. Petersburg and Rostov branches of the Russian Customs Academy, departments of the Irkutsk, Krasnodar, Tambov, Rostov, Taganrog customs, Southern Customs Laboratory, together with The North Caucasus Research Institute of Economic and Special Problems carried out research and practical work to determine the structure of customs, workload and staffing levels of customs authorities, labor standards and the standard number of customs authorities employees, as a result of which recommendations and proposals were developed to improve the organizational and staffing structure of customs authorities .

At the same time, at present, the customs authorities of the Russian Federation do not have uniform scientific, methodological and regulatory documents establishing labor standards and standards for the number of employees by type of customs activity. In this regard, certain difficulties arise in justifying the distribution, redistribution, as well as the allocation of additional staffing levels, in determining the optimal structure of customs departments, in predicting the workload of customs authorities and specific departments, in comparing structural divisions of customs and identifying less efficient ones, as well as those in need of reorganization.

The choice of management structure and its constant improvement is an urgent task for customs authorities, because The achievement of their goals will largely depend on it. The structure changes and improves as the external environment, organizational objectives, etc. change. Those. activities to implement management functions necessitate a clear organizational structure of the system, the creation of an organizational structure of the customs authority, i.e. consistency of its constituent elements, establishing a stable connection between them, which ensures the sustainability of the functioning of this body.

The formation of a unified system of customs authorities was significantly influenced by certain political, economic, social conditions and prerequisites developing in the country and in the world. In this regard, the formation and development of a unified system of customs authorities of the Russian Federation and ensuring its functionality went through a number of stages that have their own characteristics.

The adoption of the Federal Law “On Service in Customs Authorities,” which defines the procedure for serving in customs authorities, can rightfully be considered a turning point in the formation of the structure of customs authorities.

The administrative reform carried out in the country also had a very direct and radical impact on the system, structure, tasks, functions and powers of customs authorities.

The leitmotif of these transformations is the task of successful implementation of the customs business, which imposes on the customs authorities the responsibility to develop and implement progressive customs technologies into the practice of their activities, pursue a personnel policy aimed at providing the customs service with highly qualified specialists and optimizing its organizational structure, etc.

It should be noted that in the context of the globalization of the world economy, the integration of the Russian economy into the international economic space, and accession to the WTO, the role and importance of customs regulation as an element of state management of foreign trade activities is increasing. The WTO also considers the presence of modern legislation, the latest information technologies, developed infrastructure and highly qualified personnel as indicators of high development of the customs service.

This means that measures will be implemented aimed at changing the structure, expanding and strengthening the system of customs authorities (optimizing their number and locations), improving the organization and functioning of customs authorities, strengthening the personnel potential of customs authorities and the social status of their employees.

In this regard, personnel work is aimed at staffing customs authorities with highly qualified specialists capable of effectively solving the problems facing the Federal Customs Service at the present stage, with special attention will be paid to the professional training of personnel at customs posts.

Thus, the modern organization of customs affairs is not limited to the quantitative growth of customs authorities, an increase in their number of personnel. Improving the organizational structure of customs authorities, adequate to their functional purpose, is becoming increasingly important. These factors have a decisive impact on the quality of the organization of customs affairs, the effectiveness and consequences of its implementation.

Improving the organizational structure is a consistent, complex and dynamic process. The essence of the problem is that this structure organizationally ensures the successful implementation of the functions assigned to each link and the entire system of customs authorities. From this angle, the problem of distribution of powers and functions between customs authorities should be considered. In this regard, improving the organization of a unified system of customs authorities is a decisive condition and means of efficient implementation of customs affairs.

Customs Committee

The system of customs authorities is headed, as already mentioned, by the State Customs Committee. This department manages all lower-level structural units. It consists of many departments distributed in areas of activity: control, revenue, analysis and statistics, legal and customs departments, centers of currency control, security, combating smuggling and crimes in this area. The State Customs Committee of Russia carries out control and organizational functions, determines the relevant bodies of the Russian Federation, reorganizes and liquidates specialized departments, and determines the legal status.

Customs departments

The activities of customs authorities in the regions are carried out on the basis of the organization of customs affairs. This also includes the management of posts in this territory, which does not at all coincide with the administrative division of Russia. They finance subordinate units, interact with local government and other law enforcement agencies and commercial structures.

Currently, ten regional customs departments have been created and operate in Russia. These are Tatar, Dagestan, West Siberian, Moscow, Ural, Volga, East Siberian, North Caucasian, Far Eastern and Northwestern. There are border customs and internal ones. That is, those that are created on the border and those that operate inside the country. Customs is a legal entity that has its own seal and its own bank accounts. This allows it to carry out customs regulation independently.

the customs post

This is a fully authorized unit. An object capable of carrying out control and clearance in a specific territory of a certain point is a customs post. It is not a legal entity in itself, but performs the following functions:

1. Collection of customs duties, taxes and other customs payments.
2. Ensuring compliance with permitting procedures in the movement of transport and goods across the border of the Russian Federation.
3. Combating smuggling and other violations of customs rules and tax laws.
4. Profile statistics of foreign trade and special data for the Russian Federation.
5. Commodity nomenclature of foreign economic activity.
6. Control over the export from the country of strategic and other vital materials for the interests of the Russian Federation.
7. Currency control is within the competence.
8. Compliance with all international obligations relating to customs.
9. Many other features.

Legal status, tasks and structure of customs posts of the Russian Federation

The customs post of the Russian Federation is part of the unified system of customs authorities of the Russian Federation and carries out its activities under the direct supervision of the customs of the Russian Federation or the RTU of the Russian Federation in the case of direct subordination to the department.

Territory of the region of activity (subordinate region) of the customs post

is determined by the RTU of the Russian Federation (in relation to a customs post directly subordinate to customs - according to the proposal of customs) or by the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation.

Creation, reorganization and liquidation

a customs post is carried out by the RTU of the Russian Federation, and a customs post with the status of a legal entity or directly subordinate to the FTSRF is carried out by the FTSRF.

The customs post of the Russian Federation is financed

at the expense of funds from the federal budget, as well as other sources provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation.

The legal status of the customs post is determined by the General Regulations on the Customs Post of the Russian Federation, approved by Order of the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation dated January 10, 1996 No. 12 (Appendix 3). Using special regulations, the Federal Customs Service of Russia can determine the specific features of the activities of individual customs posts of the Russian Federation.

The main tasks of the customs post of the Russian Federation are defined in the General Regulations:

• direct implementation of customs affairs on the territory of the subordinate region;

• participation, within the limits of its competence, in the implementation in the subordinate region of measures aimed at ensuring the unity of the customs territory of the Russian Federation, the economic security of the Russian Federation in terms of customs affairs;

• application within the limits of its competence in the region under its jurisdiction of means of customs regulation of economic activity;

• implementation of customs clearance and customs control;

• combating smuggling and other crimes in the field of customs, violations of customs rules.

The structure and staffing of the customs post are approved by the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation. The RTU of the Russian Federation has the right to supplement or change the standard structure of lower-level customs posts.

Total (maximum) staffing levels and wages fund

of a customs post are approved by the RTU of the Russian Federation, and a customs post subordinate directly to the FTSRF or to a customs office directly subordinate to the FTSRF - FTSRF.
The specific
structure and staffing level of a customs post of the Russian Federation are approved by a higher customs authority.

The customs post of the Russian Federation is headed by a chief. His appointment to office and dismissal from office are carried out:

• by order of the Federal Customs Service of Russia - in relation to a customs post subordinate directly to the Federal Customs Service of Russia;

• the head of the RTU of the Russian Federation - in relation to a customs post subordinate directly to the department;

• by order of the RTU of the Russian Federation on the proposal of the head of customs and in agreement with the relevant functional departments of the department - in relation to the customs post of the Russian Federation, subordinate directly to the customs of the Russian Federation;

Other employees of a customs post with the status of a legal entity are appointed and dismissed by the head of the customs post, and employees of a customs post that does not have such status - by a higher customs authority.

Customs control authorities

They are staffed by authorized persons. It is they who exercise control in this area. The customs authorities of the Russian Federation also carry out control by checking information and documents. Department employees conduct inspections of vehicles, goods and individuals through registration, oral questioning, checking all reporting systems, inspecting territories and storage warehouses, duty-free trade points and free zones. In a word, all those places where appropriate control must be carried out.

Since customs regulation is one of the functions of the state apparatus of the Russian Federation, the management of this entire area also falls within the competence of control. The Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation has the right to create the necessary auxiliary structures. These are customs institutions, authorities and enterprises, as well as representative offices abroad. This is a single centralized system where regulation is carried out systematically and continuously.

Maintaining structures and formats

When persons and customs authorities perform actions in accordance with international treaties and acts regulating customs legal relations that constitute the law of the Eurasian Economic Union, and (or) the legislation of the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union on customs regulation, documents and (or) information necessary in in accordance with the Customs Code of the Eurasian Economic Union (hereinafter referred to as the Code) for carrying out customs operations.

In accordance with Article 8 of the Code, the structure and format of customs documents in the form of electronic documents are determined by the Eurasian Economic Commission in cases provided for by the Code and other international treaties and acts governing customs legal relations that constitute the law of the Eurasian Economic Union.

The Customs Code of the Customs Union gave the Commission the authority to determine the structures and formats of only electronic copies of customs declarations.​

In 2021, work was completed to implement the provisions of the Code regarding the definition of uniform structures and formats for electronic customs documents within the Eurasian Economic Union.

Thus, in the field of customs regulation in electronic interaction between participants in foreign economic activity and the customs authorities of the Eurasian Economic Union, 16 unified structures are used. They are continuously being improved and updated in accordance with the developing law of the Eurasian Economic Union.

Based on the results of the ongoing activities to amend the Code, it is planned to expand the competence of the Eurasian Economic Commission in terms of the possibility of determining new unified structures of electronic customs documents, as well as the rules for the formation of their requisite composition. This initiative is one of the strategic directions for the development of Eurasian economic integration until 2025.​

Below are both current versions of the structures and formats used to submit information to customs authorities and (or) customs authorities, as well as those approved by the Eurasian Economic Commission, but not yet in force.

Some decisions of the Eurasian Economic Commission on the structures and formats of customs documents, in addition to the description of the structure, contain a description of filling out individual details of the structure, which can be changed (added) regardless of updating the version of the structure. Changes (additions) to the rules for filling out (forming) details of structures are published in the section “Updates to the rules for filling out details of structures of customs documents” of the current page.

Functions

In the light of the law on customs regulation, these bodies are assigned the following functions.

• Monitoring and improving the method of operations necessary at the border.
• Assistance in the development of Russian foreign trade, foreign economic relations of all entities, and in accelerating trade turnover.
• Maintaining special statistics of customs and foreign trade.
• Collection of taxes, countervailing, special, anti-dumping duties. Collection of fees, as well as monitoring the timeliness of payment and correct calculation.
• Maintaining order when moving international transport and goods across the border of the Customs Union.
• Compliance with restrictions and prohibitions regarding goods imported and exported from the Russian Federation, which are established by law.
• Protection of intellectual property rights.
• Identification, prevention, and then suppression of administrative offenses and crimes within the competence of the authorities.
• Taking measures to protect public order, state security, human health and life, his morality, to protect the environment, animals and plants, as well as protecting the interests of consumers of goods imported into the Russian Federation.
• Control of currency transactions that are associated with the movement of goods to and from the Russian Federation across the border.
• Assistance in the development of the transit and export potential of the Russian Federation, optimization of the export structure and promotion of the interests of domestic producers.
• Anti-money laundering measures obtained from crime. As well as the financing of terrorism when moving currency, securities and traveler's checks across the border.
• Information and advice on customs matters, clarification of rights and obligations to interested parties, assistance to participants in foreign economic relations when carrying out operations at customs.
• Fulfillment of the international obligations of the Russian Federation in the field of customs, cooperation with the competent authorities of other states, as well as organizations that deal with this matter.
• Research and development in the field of customs activities.

Based on the above, the functions of customs authorities can be classified as follows. The first group is the main ones, that is, external, sectoral. They can be implemented only at the level of administrative relations: customs control, information, collection of payments, provision of benefits, and so on. The second group provides management of organs. These are internal functions - financial, planning, personnel, logistics and other activities that ensure work of an organizational nature.

Customs: ten years later

We are creating an almost completely paperless environment and introducing methods for processing and analyzing large amounts of data. These and other developments formed the basis of the Customs Service Development Strategy until 2030, approved by the government in May of this year.

I will dwell on what has already been done over the past three years within the framework of the Comprehensive Development Program of the Federal Customs Service of Russia, adopted in 2017.

The foundation of the changes was the transfer of the declaration array from customs posts and regional customs offices to electronic declaration centers (EDCs). All clearance in Russia is concentrated in 16 such “declaration factories”, thanks to which it was possible to separate documentary and actual control of goods: declarations are issued at the central electronic registration centers, and the cargo is physically checked at customs posts. This made it possible to minimize external “influence” on decisions made.

We are at the finish line on the path to almost 100% declaration in EDCs. This made it possible to achieve uniformity of release: before the reform, the same goods in different customs offices could be processed differently, which gave rise to a lot of disagreements and criticism towards us. This problem has now been eliminated.

Now it is easier to “manage” document flows by sending declarations to free inspectors within each EDC. It is thanks to modern technologies that, for the first time in the history of customs, we are eliminating the possibility of corruption at a systemic level and breaking the contact between the entrepreneur and the issuing inspector. The transition to working through CEDs made it possible to reduce the degree of participation of inspectors during customs clearance of consignments.

The results are encouraging: in the first half of 2021, over 1.6 million declarations were automatically registered (71% of the total) and about 500 thousand declarations of low-risk foreign trade participants were automatically issued. As a result, a conscientious business can forget about the “hours” spent at customs: automatic registration time is 2 minutes, automatic release time is about 3 minutes. That is, it takes on average no more than 4-5 minutes to process risk-free consignments.

Another important step, which I am sure was noticed and appreciated by all exporters and importers, is the transition to unified personal accounts (UPA). Previously, participants in foreign economic activity were forced to open accounts in different parts of the country linked to transactions with the customs authorities of a given region. This led to both the dispersion of financial resources and additional administrative costs.

Now, as part of the customs administration reform, we have created the ELS system and in 2018-2020 we smoothly transferred all categories of payers to these accounts. Over 320 thousand single personal accounts have already been opened. Their implementation has simplified the settlement process and increased the efficiency of cash management: now payers have the ability to quickly manage balances and track debts to customs authorities.

Customs consistently strives to ensure that supplies from law-abiding businesses will be controlled as quickly and predictably as possible.

The comfort of ELS users was also taken into account: all operations are now carried out using a convenient and modern interface in the “Personal Account of a Foreign Economic Activity Participant” on the FCS website. By the way, we are also actively developing the “Personal Account”, filling it with new services and capabilities. A foreign trade participant can submit a declaration and accompanying data online, see permits, view information about the bank and guarantees, debts, and receive information about all prohibitions and restrictions on imported and exported goods. The number of registered users of the account in 2017-2019 increased exponentially and exceeded 150 thousand legal entities and individuals.

Having successfully achieved our goals during the reforms of the past three years, we laid the foundation for the “customs of the future” and moved on to planning for a longer period. Strategy 2030 is the fundamental document according to which the service will develop in the next decade. Our goal is fully automatic customs operations using advanced digital technologies. Customs administration should become a fast and business-friendly high-tech process.

A clear example of the transformation of customs will be the increase in the speed of passage through checkpoints. In essence, the very perception of the border checkpoint is changing: it becomes intelligent and will represent a unified information system that receives data from inspection and weight control systems, radiation control systems, and other customs control means. Further, this information will be automatically analyzed, and electronic queuing and dispatch systems will be launched in parallel. The coordinated work of all these components should ensure non-stop passage of the checkpoint for risk-free consignments.

Of course, we do not forget about the physical infrastructure of checkpoints, since the issue of their modernization has long been overdue. And customs officers have repeatedly expressed their proposals in this regard on various public platforms. It is gratifying that work in this direction has begun: within the framework of the national project “International Cooperation and Export”, 37 export-oriented checkpoints have been identified for modernization. But we can’t stop there. In total, we have 261 active checkpoints for all types of transport.

Another important area of ​​implementation of the 2030 Strategy is the technology for assessing product lots online. Depending on the characteristics of the goods, the conditions of its movement across the border and the degree of conscientiousness of the declarant, the system will automatically make decisions on the inspection of a particular shipment.

It is physically impossible to quickly and correctly process, analyze and compare a large amount of data manually. Therefore, we plan to automate as much as possible the main instrument of customs control - the risk management system. This will make it possible to quickly identify facts of inconsistency or distortion of data, carry out reasonable checks and inspections, thereby increasing the efficiency of customs work as a whole, and reducing the administrative burden on bona fide businesses.

We hope that the use of modern technologies will also increase the attractiveness of the status of an authorized economic operator, the goods of which, according to the law, are classified as “green sector”, that is, risk-free supplies. Customs is committed to ensuring that supplies from law-abiding businesses will be controlled as quickly and predictably as possible.

Our information databases have accumulated a huge amount of data on millions of shipments. In addition to this, we constantly receive information through the interdepartmental electronic interaction system from colleagues from other departments, and the exchange of information with foreign customs administrations has been organized. The information obtained is used to suppress attempts to smuggle contraband and counterfeit goods, identify cases of evasion of customs duties and other violations.

The creation of a unified product traceability system in Russia and the EAEU will make it possible to analyze the supply chain of goods from the moment they are released by customs until sold to the end consumer at a retail outlet. Such a system should automatically detect the import, sale and resale of illegal products.

As part of this area, we plan to establish information interaction with foreign partners at the stage of movement of goods from the manufacturer to the border of the EAEU, introduce digital currency control, monitor the movement and use of national resources, primarily wood and timber products.

By 2030, almost all the work of the Federal Customs Service will be transferred to the digital environment. The necessary measures to create an appropriate IT infrastructure have been planned and are already being implemented. We need not just a powerful, but also an ultra-reliable system that will ensure continuity of customs clearance around the clock.

This year we started designing the Main Data Processing Center - the Main Data Processing Center of the Federal Customs Service of Russia - on the basis of Tver Customs. Its creation will ensure the safety of information, high speed of its processing, and uninterrupted operation of databases. At the same time, a project is being developed to launch a Unified Customs Contact Center, the number of which will receive all incoming telephone calls. Such a step, which is familiar to business from a customer-oriented point of view, will give us the opportunity to optimize information flows within the department and introduce new standards for round-the-clock consulting and technical support for foreign trade participants.

The transformation of customs administration is changing the role and place of the customs officer. Already now - and this trend, I am sure, will continue - to implement digital projects we need specialists with knowledge of methods for analyzing large volumes of data, the ability to quickly retrain, and a willingness to use technology. This entails the task of increasing the efficiency of personnel management, selection and training of personnel, and their motivation. The FCS employs many professionals in their field who have dedicated many years to the customs service. Our task is to create the necessary conditions for them to improve their skills in the field of information technology.

Considerable attention has been paid to measures to ensure decent and competitive conditions of service in customs authorities. We are talking not only about a stable salary, but also about opportunities for career growth, improved working conditions, preferential sanatorium and resort services, and high-quality departmental medicine.

When developing Strategy 2030, we proceeded from the principle of “invisibility for business and effectiveness for the state,” because customs keeping up with the times is the key to the successful development of foreign trade and a stable receipt of payments to the state treasury. Customs, open to change, is one of the key partners for business in the context of reducing cross-border costs, the emergence of new niches and directions for business, and entering markets previously untapped by Russian companies.

I am confident that the implementation of Strategy 2030 will significantly improve the business climate in Russia. As a result of the reform, bona fide businesses will receive clear fiscal requirements and fast and comfortable customs procedures. For the state, the updated customs will become a guarantor of the protection of the domestic market and will contribute to the development of non-resource exports and multi-format economic interaction throughout the EAEU. Thus, the creation of a high-tech customs service in the next decade is a task of all-Russian importance. We will try to complete it with dignity and on time!
