Without them, obtaining a permit will be impossible. Please note that the absence of a particular document may become an obstacle to quickly resolving the issue. This list includes:

• Personal documents of the vehicle owner (passport)
• Confirmation of the right to own a vehicle
• Passport of the car itself
• Confirmation of compliance with a certain environmental class (for example, if you need to issue a certificate for Euro 4)
• TS approval

It is also recommended to add a detailed description of the car or motor vehicle to this list. This is especially true in cases where the original design has been modified.

Documents for customs clearance of a vehicle

Foreign customs authorities issue only documents for travel; the customs clearance procedure itself is carried out in the Russian customs territory.

When importing a car at the border, you must present all available documents required by the customs code:

• title papers;
• bill of sale or invoice;
• customs receipt;
• transit declaration;
• registration card with attachment (declaration TD-7);
• insurance.

In the case of used cars, a conclusion from specialized organizations on the price of the goods will be required; if the car is new, then its value is determined by invoices and papers confirming the purchase.

Determination of the HS code and calculations

Semi-trailers can be of different types:

• specialized semi-trailers with refrigerators;
• tanks,
• heavy trucks;
• isometric;
• container ships;
• curtain-awning;
• curtains;
• all-metal vans;
• onboard;
• dump trucks

All of them in the foreign economic activity product nomenclature have their own classification code. Therefore, the import duty for different types of semi-trailers is different.

Trailers and semi-trailers belong to product group 8716. Within this group, the entire variety of semi-trailers is divided into separate items. Semi-trailers are divided not only by type, but also by purpose, capacity, and age. According to the classification code, the amount of duty and VAT is determined. Depending on the type of semi-trailer, the import duty varies.

ATTENTION! We work only with legal entities.

Refrigerated semi-trailers, i.e. equipped with refrigeration units are cleared through customs at the following rates:

Tanks used for the transportation of liquid cargo are subject to customs clearance at the following rates:

Below is a table showing duty rates for all types of trailers except those listed above.

All these payments are calculated based on the customs value, which includes the cost of the semi-trailer itself and its transportation. Among other things, a customs clearance fee and an excise duty are payable, since semi-trailers are excisable goods. If everything is clear with duty and VAT, then the cost of the semi-trailer itself is determined based on the TRAILER TAX catalog, which presents models of semi-trailers produced over the last 12 years, or based on the cost of semi-trailers of similar models, if the data is not in the catalog. Information from the Internet may also be used. Ultimately, it depends on the material from which the semi-trailer is made, its weight, capacity, mileage, purposes of use, length of the structure, and the presence of a roof.

There is no recycling fee for semi-trailers.

Semi-trailers are not a preferential product, so the country of origin does not affect the cost of customs clearance. The duties for all exporting countries are the same. But the date of manufacture and the total weight of the semi-trailer are important.
