Customs services are the implementation of a set of actions by customs agents (brokers, representatives) in carrying out operations at customs in relation to goods transported by participants in foreign trade activities across the customs border in compliance with customs legislation and payment of the necessary customs duties.
Thus, when moving goods (import or export) across the state border of the Customs Union, they must undergo customs control at the customs authority by submitting information: for individuals - on paper or verbally, for legal entities - only electronically. At the same time, you need to know and comply with the requirements of the law, otherwise difficulties, delays, restrictions or prohibitions may arise that bring additional moral, time and financial costs. One solution is to turn to professionals - customs brokers working in this market, who can advise in advance and, if necessary, help with “customs clearance” of cargo and goods.

Customs services export
Any cargo exported from the Russian Federation must undergo customs clearance (customs clearance). The procedure consists of providing the customs authorities with the necessary documents for the exported goods and passing customs control. Timely payment of export customs duties, fees and taxes also falls on the agent.
Some commercial transactions in which the goods are not immediately exported from Russia are also considered exports. For example, when a foreign company purchases goods from one Russian enterprise and transfers it to another Russian manufacturer for further processing and export of the final product abroad.
When exporting goods, it is necessary to resolve various legal issues and ensure customs clearance both in the exported country and in the country where the cargo is delivered. The process of preparing all the necessary documents is very labor-intensive, so you should contact specialists.
