Now many employees customs service monitor the latest news of the economy to see if they will still raise their salaries. The FCS is subordinate to the government. Customs officers are responsible for overseeing customs operations. foreign trade and ensuring revenues to the budget of significant Money. The legislation of the country defines work in the customs authorities as a special area public service. The duties that are assigned to customs officials are responsible. They require highly qualified personnel.

Of course, working conditions at customs are difficult, since serious interests intersect here, on the one hand, the state, on the other, business, and large sums of money are turned around every day. Everyone knows that the level of corruption is quite high in this department.

The amount of bribes in customs structures, according to knowledgeable experts, ranges from 1,000 to 700,000 rubles. There are many examples from the media that talk about high-profile detentions of customs officers when receiving bribes. Every year, more than a dozen civil servants employed in customs are convicted of corruption-related crimes.

Formation and salary of customs officers in 2018-2019
The remuneration of employees in the Federal Customs Service is called cash content. Compared to average salaries in the Russian economy, the average monthly income of customs officers looks pretty decent.

In 2012-2014, the average salary of a customs officer in Moscow is 45 thousand rubles. In Russia, the average salary of employees at customs (and the salary also depends on the region) is slightly lower - from 18 to 35 thousand rubles.

By the way, the head of the government, Dmitry Medvedev (and this department is directly subordinate to him), in 2015 increased the salary of customs officers. This order was due to the fact that, firstly, it is necessary to reduce the difference in wages in comparison with other civil servants, and secondly, in order to minimize the corruption component among the employees of the Federal Customs Service. As Medvedev noted, customs control there are large flows of money, goods, and as a result, great temptations.

What is the salary of a customs officer?
Not every customs officer receives the same amount of money. There is a dependence of wages on the basis of how the employee has recommended himself, on the position, the availability of awards.

The salary of customs officers (similar to the salary of police officers) consists of the following components:

• position salary;
• salary by rank;
• allowances and payments.

Customs officers receive monthly salary increments for various achievements and merits (including work with state secrets, etc.). There are also various bonus factors to wages, for example, for serving in remote or hard-to-reach areas.

Every month, customs officers must receive food rations. In the case when the ration for some unknown reason is not issued in kind, then monetary compensation is charged instead of the ration.

Additional days off are provided if the customs officer works on weekends and holidays. The annual material assistance provided to customs officers is calculated in the amount of at least two monthly salaries.

It is necessary to note the numerous social preferences that employees of this department have:

1. free health care(employees, as well as all family members);
2. free treatment, rehabilitation in sanatoriums and rest homes;
3. free travel to public transport;
4. in the case of the acquisition or construction of their own housing (only for employees with at least 10 years of work experience);
5. in case of retirement, several salaries are paid (the amount depends on the length of service);
6. There are benefits for paying land tax and others.

It should not be forgotten that there are many reasons due to which a customs officer can be deprived of part of the money earned. Service is service.

Should customs officers expect salary growth in 2019?
According to some sources, in 2019 the government Russian Federation planned to increase the salary of customs officers.
Now the Russian economy is in a difficult situation. Provoking factors:

• shortage of funds pension fund, which increases the burden on the budget of the Russian Federation;
• sanctions from Western countries accusing the Russian government of fueling the conflict in Ukraine and supporting the separatists. This factor destabilizes to some extent financial processes, although economic potential Russia is strong enough.

Naturally, even taking into account the above difficulties in budgeting, there are other factors (for example, inflation, natural price increases) that affect the level of workers' well-being. It is necessary to raise salaries, and, obviously, they will do it. However, the question is when and how much this salary will be increased.

Any promotions budget spending are directly related to the budgetary content. According to the data provided by the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation, in the current 2016, the budget deficit amounted to 400 billion rubles. Financial forecasts say that in 2018 and 2019 the deficit will worsen, and it could reach a figure of 500 billion rubles. Therefore, it would be logical to assume that TC employees should not expect a salary increase.

So, although many customs officers in Russia hope for a pay increase in 2019, it is most likely not going to happen. True, a slight reduction is expected in this structure, so the monetary allowance of the remaining ones may increase slightly. But so far no decrees have been issued that would relate to such changes. Presumably salary of customs officers in 2019 the average will remain the same.

But we do not advise customs officers to despair. An increase in their salary in 2019 may occur in connection with the payment of bonuses and the so-called 13th salary. By the way, in the customs service, bonuses can be received at least for each work shift, if you are responsible for the performance of official duties.

Thus, we can conclude: in 2019, the salary of customs officers will not directly depend on the decrees of the Government, but rather on the zeal and activity of the employee himself.

You can also study at the correspondence department, after knowing how much it costs (≈ 60,000 rubles a year). After graduation, you can continue your education in graduate school. The shortest way is to enter the Customs Academy of Russia, opened in 1993 in Moscow (there are branches in St. Petersburg, Vladivostok and Rostov-on-Don).

Requirements for specialists

There are a number of specific requirements for people wishing to work at customs. When applying for a job, all candidates must receive a conclusion from the military medical commission and pass an interview with a psychologist. In addition, future customs officers must have knowledge of customs law, the basics of commodity science, economics, criminalistics, ethics, know the customs code and the requirements of sanitary and veterinary control.

Today, the post of an employee of the FCS can be located at the airport, at the sea or river port, at the border point or at the railway station.

Salary of customs specialists

The remuneration of a customs officer includes salary according to position, salary according to rank, allowances and payments.

How much FCS employees receive in the form of allowances depends on the region of service, however, these people are additionally paid extra for the following merits and achievements:

• work with information constituting a secret;
• service quality;
• class rank;

Per overtime work customs officers earn extra days recreation. Annual financial assistance is at least 2 monthly salaries. Additional tangible earnings can be bonuses for length of service (as in the army). How much this is specific depends on the number of years worked (for 20 years or more - plus 40% of the salary).

At present, FCS specialists in Moscow earn about 45,000 rubles. In the regions, the salary is slightly lower - up to 35 thousand rubles. In 2015, the government of the Russian Federation plans to increase wages by 25% for people working at customs, which will amount to 52,000 rubles or more.
