Many residents of Russia regularly order various goods from abroad, and many try to avoid cooperation with Russian Post, which has a far from the best reputation as a carrier. Nevertheless, from December 7, 2017, new customs clearance rules come into force in Russia, as a result of which most of the parcels will not go through customs. All because of the order of the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation, which obliged all Russians to provide additional data for customs clearance of goods.

Everything courier services began to warn buyers from Russia that their parcels would not go through customs, because according to the order of the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation No. 1861, which comes into force on December 7, 2017, when shopping in online stores, it is required to provide customs not only and two more things - TIN (individual taxpayer number) and links to sites where the goods were purchased.

In particular, transport company CDEK has already informed its customers that now, when buying any goods in foreign stores, it is required to provide the TIN and links to the purchased goods, otherwise the parcels will not be able to go through customs and they will be sent back. Insofar as new order comes into force on December 7, 2017, then many parcels that will soon reach the customs of the Russian Federation will not be able to pass it.

If it is not possible to indicate a link to a product, the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation recommends taking screenshots of all products at the time of their purchase. This is necessary so that the customs can reconcile the prices declared in the declaration with the real ones. Information containing passport data, TIN, cost of goods (in rubles and euros) and their weight will be stored in the database of the Unified Automated information system customs authorities (UAIS TO). It is necessary in order to track the receipt by citizens of Russia postal items from other countries, intended for personal use and delivered by transport courier companies and express carriers.

the only postal service, which does not fall under the new rules, is the Federal State Unitary Enterprise Russian Post, all postal items through which will continue to undergo an accelerated customs inspection procedure. However, restrictions on the maximum value of received parcels and their weight apply to it. So far, Russian citizens can import duty-free goods into the country on total cost 1000 euros per month and a total weight of 31 kilograms, but soon the limits may be reduced several times.

Strengthening customs control in Russia is necessary in order to introduce VAT on goods purchased by citizens of the country abroad in the future. This initiative has already been supported by the Ministry of Economic Development and many others. state structures who believe that taxes on foreign purchases will ensure equal competition with Russian stores. However, it is obvious that if VAT is introduced, then Russians will have to pay additional interest out of their own pocket, because all foreign stores will simply raise the prices of goods.

Qwintry LLC clients and some other intermediaries are not affected by the new order due to the fact that the experiment conducted under this order to introduce VAT on foreign purchases in Russia affects only electronic customs declaration.

From April 14, new rules on parcels from foreign online stores will come into force. If you remember, now the maximum order amount will be no more than 22 euros, and the weight - no more than 10 kg. Here are some important questions you should know the answers to.

Portal TUT.BY spent a direct line with specialists from the State Customs Committee about new limits on parcels from abroad. We have compiled a summary of the material for you in questions and answers.

Is it possible for one person to order several parcels in the amount of 22 euros?

The limit of 22 euros and 10 kg reflects the total value. That is, you can order at least a hundred parcels per month, if you fit into these limits. If not, pay a fee.

At what point is the parcel considered received: at customs or at the post office?

These are often very different terms. At the post office, you can receive parcels ordered in different periods at the same time - you can also not meet the limit, although the parcels individually did not violate the rules. The customs authorities consider X day the date of registration of your parcel in the temporary storage warehouse. Parcels get there within 3 hours after they are presented to the customs authority.

Yes, it will, if the customs value of the goods sent exceeds the established duty-free import norms of 22 euros.

If the parcel arrived at the beginning of April and has already exhausted the limit, and after April 14 another one will arrive, will I have to pay?

The account is kept for a calendar month. If at the beginning of April you managed to exhaust the limit, then all subsequent parcels for the month will be subject to duty.

Here's an example for you. We have three parcels: 22 euros, 5 euros and 1 euro, which arrived in one month. Let's assume that the total weight of three parcels is up to 10 kg. Everything is fine with the first package, but the other two are already over the limit.

For the second international postal item, customs fees of around 6.5 euros will be payable: 5 euros (customs value of goods) x 30% + 5 euros (customs duty).

The amount of customs payments for the third parcel will be about 5.3 euros: 1 euro x 30% + 5 euros (customs duty).

And if the parcel is not a purchase, but a gift?

There are no separate norms for sending gifts in the new decree No. 40. That is, all the rules will be exactly the same as for any other package.

If things are sent from abroad and their value is not indicated, will I have to pay a fee?

Yes, if the limits are exceeded. The customs authorities have acts of the Universal Postal Union - with their help they estimate the cost of any goods. Besides, Customs can independently evaluate products based on price information that they have, or with the help of catalogs of foreign firms.

What if the item is on sale?

Let's say a month ago you bought a product on sale, and now the price on the site has already increased. The customs authorities reassure: you can prove the accuracy of the information about the shipment. You can prove that the purchase was cheaper by showing the contract, specification, invoice, sales receipt or receipt of payment.

What to do if the seller incorrectly indicates the value of the goods?

This often happens, especially with Chinese online stores. Sometimes the value of the goods is overstated in the declaration. If you do not agree with the amount indicated on the parcel, you can not receive it and say in the mail that you want to return it to the place of international mail exchange. After that, you can apply in writing to the customs authority and attach the original documents that confirm the real value.

By the way, customs accepts Internet catalogs with publicly posted information about the cost of goods sent, printouts of bank transfer pages, and so on as additional documents.

Can I order multiple packages to the same address for different people?

Yes, the norms are set for individuals, which means that each person has the right to order goods for an amount within the limit. Including minor children. Only one natural or legal person is always indicated as the addressee.

Where to pay duties and fees?

Customs payments must be paid at the post office where you will receive the parcel. The operator must tell you that you need to pay a fee.

What happens if the limit is exceeded and I do not want to pick up the parcel?

If you refuse to pay the due duties and fees, your parcel will simply be returned to the sender.

If the cost of the parcel is not indicated in euros, at what rate will they be calculated?

The exchange rates of the dollar, euro and Russian ruble are applied on the day the parcel is registered at customs. True, how to take into account or calculate this is not entirely clear.

Will there be limits on parcels from Russia and other EAEU countries?

Such parcels are considered intra-union postal items - customs does not control them, and customs operations are not performed in relation to them.

I returned the item under warranty and am waiting for a new one. What to do?

If you sent the item back to the seller for warranty repair or replacement, then for customs you will have to confirm that you previously imported this particular product. Then the fee will not have to be paid again. After that, the goods can be carried to the post office and sent to the seller. If you can't prove it, you will have to pay the duty and customs fee again.

Do I need to pay a duty for the amount of delivery of the goods?

No, transportation, delivery and shipment insurance services are not included in the customs value of the goods.

When ordering in the store computeruniverse.ru ("computeruniverse", "computer universe") goods in the amount of more than the duty-free customs limit in 500 Euro and weighing more than 31kg one order need to pay customs duty upon receipt of the parcel in customs service your city or Russian Post office.

The duty leaves 30% of the amount over the limit of 500 euros or 4 euros for each kg over the weight limit of 31 kg– this norm is valid from January to December 2019, and then from January 2020 the duty-free limit will be reduced to 200 euros!

Now you can receive duty-free within one month of goods worth no more than 500 euros and weighing no more than 31 kg. Wherein shipping is not included, and the cost and weight of all parcels within one calendar month are taken into account and summarized!

How to bypass the customs duty of 500 euros

Based personal experience and analyzing customer reviews of this site, there is only one legal and completely legal way to bypass the customs duty of 500 euros in 2019.

You need to create 2 computeruniverse accounts for 2 different people with different shipping addresses. At the same time, it is quite possible to pay for both orders with one card or PayPal account, but DISCOUNT ◄ on the first purchase will be used twice for each of these purchases!

The only drawback of this method is that it is not suitable for indivisible goods (expensive laptops and smartphones, TVs, etc.), but is only acceptable when ordering components or other similar goods.

The following message appeared on the store's website earlier this year for the store's customers:

Attention! From January 1, 2019, the rules for importing goods for personal use without paying customs duties and taxes have changed.

Goods for personal use sent during a calendar month to the address of one recipient who is individual, the customs value of which does not exceed the equivalent of 500 euros, and the total weight of which does not exceed 31 kg, are still not subject to duty!

If these values ​​are exceeded, customs duties, taxes on flat rate 30% of their customs value, but not less than 4 euros per 1 kilogram of weight in terms of exceeding the cost norm of 500 euros and (or) the weight norm of 31 kilograms. In this case, the submission of an additional declaration to the customs authorities is not required.

Payment of customs duties and taxes is made at the post office upon receipt of the postal item.

Computeruniverse wishes you happy shopping!

Computeruniverse store and duty 2018

At the end of June 2018, the topic of lowering the duty-free import threshold began to be actively discussed in the Russian media not from January 1, 2019, as previously planned, but from July 1, 2018. Then, a couple of weeks later, it was officially confirmed that there were no plans to reduce the limit in July 2018.

“Let me remind you that the decision to lower the threshold to €500 has already been made. From January 1, 2019, the threshold for duty-free importation by mail is reduced to €500, from 2020 to €200. It's already current decision, it has already entered into force. €500 sooner or later. From July 1 - no longer, but from January 1 for sure," Deputy Finance Minister Ilya Trunin said.

Thus, the plans of the government of the Russian Federation to reduce the limit earlier than planned were officially refuted from official sources. So far, these plans of the Russian government have not been officially confirmed and refuted from official sources. Thus, the plans of the Russian government to reduce the limit earlier than planned were officially refuted from official sources.

The most popular and working the way out of this situation is to split the order up to 1.000 or 500 euros and check out each purchase to various relatives and friends. If you do not have such an opportunity, then you can also use the function " delivery block”, which is only available when paying with PayPal during the checkout process in the CU shopping cart.

The main thing is to correctly calculate that the purchased video cards for one recipient come to the Russian Federation in different calendar months. At the same time, during 2018-2019 in Russia, the customs limit for foreign parcels will become less. 1.000 euro…

It is also important to understand that it is not the date of payment for the order, but the entry in the track " customs clearance ” and the date opposite determines calendar month, according to which the duty-free customs limit will be determined.

WEIGHT limit

In addition, already in 2016 there were precedents for paying a fee for exceeding the weight limit - this indicates an improvement in accounting not only for the cost, but also for the weight of parcels from abroad arriving in Russia!

For example, when within one calendar month 2 parcels arrive per person with a total cost of up to 1000 euros and a weight of 20 kg each. In this case, you will have to pay a fee of 4 euros for each “extra” kilogram + again for customs clearance 12.5 euros = approximately 50 euros at the exchange rate in Russian rubles on the date of "Arrival in Russia" in the track number of the postal item.

Duty free limit

For reference, the duty-free customs threshold / limit for postal items for various countries as of 2016: Russia and Kazakhstan - 1000 euros, Belarus - 22 euros, Ukraine - 150 euros, Georgia - 120 euros. Shipping costs are not included!
