China Post Postage Tracking. What cannot be ordered from China to Russia. List of prohibited goods for import Just a parcel from China list of goods

It is profitable to buy goods in Chinese online stores, because the prices, compared to Russian ones, are 30-80% lower, and there are also sales, where the difference can reach 100%.

In addition, such shopping allows you to buy everything you need - from the assortment on Aliexpress and in other stores, eyes scatter in different directions, and Russian IMs modestly stand aside. However, not everyone knows that not everything can be ordered - there is a list of prohibited goods, the purchase of which can result in a fine at best, and criminal liability at worst.

This list must be carefully studied before going shopping or ordering goods in a Chinese store, otherwise problems with customs and mail are guaranteed. Most of the prohibited goods can be guessed logically, but some positions are original, they should be remembered and not ordered from China.

Carefully study the list of goods prohibited for import into Russia. Then you will not have any problems with the Customs Service and Mail.

  10. Separate parts of weapons, cartridges and their parts.For example, it is forbidden to order arrows for bows and crossbows. The same applies to arrowheads and other components of arrows.
  11. Batteries and accumulators... This is a controversial point. Many people ordered similar products and received them by mail without any problems.

Conditionally admitted items are items that are not completely prohibited, but require appropriate permission from government control authorities to obtain them.

  1. Encryption (cryptographic) means and devices with encryption (cryptography) functions.Some printers, pocket recorders, cash registers, etc. A complete list of products in this category can be found -.

The most important thing - DO NOT ORDER GOODS FROM THE PROHIBITED LIST ... Don't get the attention of employees customs service... Otherwise, you will get yourself a lot of trouble. They can also start a criminal case.

In conclusion of this article, I would like to say more:

  • If you want to order a product that, by the slightest sign, may fall under one of the points of the above list, REFUSE TO MAKE THIS PURCHASE.
  • Do not buy those goods, the free sale of which is prohibited in your country.

If you believe the Internet, "Russian Post" is a "corporation of evil." Her credo is chaos. Break everything and lose for your money! One compartment - one window. Took a turn? Write your will. So, just in case. “There are many of you, but I am alone” is the most polite thing that you can hear from a postal employee. And why do they still not hang the portrait of the "Hamla of the month" in a prominent place?

But maybe not everything is so bad? Not everything is lost?

Shifting responsibility is convenient. But what if we create some of the problems with Russian Post ourselves? What if we just don't know the rules and pump non-existent rights?

Calm down! Do not rush to be indignant in the comments: “They do not know the laws! Stand up for Russian Railways! " Just read to the end. We will tell you how to interact with Russian Post without unnecessary spending and hassle.

Learning to distinguish a parcel from a parcel

According to Federal law No. 176 "On postal services", postal items include:

  • letters;
  • postcards (postcards);
  • money transfers;
  • periodicals;
  • small packages;
  • parcels post;
  • parcels.

In the 21st century, many of them seem irrelevant. We read not newspapers, but news agency feeds. We communicate and build a business by email. And we send money from card to card. But even geeks have to deal with small packages, parcels and parcels. What is it without them?

Small package - an international postal item containing small items. The maximum weight is 2 kg. No special packaging required.
Parcel post - postage with an attachment in the form of printed publications (books, magazines, newspapers), business papers, manuscripts, photographs. The maximum weight is 2 kg. For parcels consisting exclusively of books - 5 kg.
Package - postal item for sending things. Minimum dimensions: 114 × 162 mm or 110 × 220 mm.

All shipments are divided into simple and registered... Plains are accepted and delivered without any receipts or signatures. I bought a stamped envelope, sent a letter, and the addressee will look into the mailbox and receive it. In the second case, everything is documented: a receipt is issued to the sender, and a notification is issued to the recipient.

Registered postal items are:

  1. Customized (letters, postcards, parcels, small packages) - delivered against signature, if you wish, you can order a delivery receipt.
  2. Valuable (letters, parcels, parcels) - when sending, the value of the investment is estimated, sometimes an inventory is drawn up.
  3. With cash on delivery - postage is charged to the addressee upon receipt.

Why all these details? It's just that the conditions, terms and cost of shipment depend on the type of shipment.

Pechkin knows his business! That's just, as you understand, by current regulations You cannot send a poker by parcel post (only written correspondence and documents), and the parcel may weigh less than a kilogram. For example, you decided to send your beloved grandmother a book (500 grams) and a box of chocolates (300 grams) as a gift. Due to the sweet contents, the shipment will be considered a parcel: it will be packed in a special plastic bag or cardboard box. And if there were only a book, it would pass for a parcel.

But sometimes "non-standard" attachments are made out as a parcel post. For example, magnets, cosmetic probes or seeds. This is done when the investment is not heavy and every minute counts.

First class vs EMS

There are the following methods of forwarding postal items:

  1. Ground - letters and parcels are delivered by rail, road and other land transport.
  2. Air - delivery by air.
  3. Combined - part of the route travels on the ground, and part of it flies.
  4. Accelerated - delivery times are reduced by several days.

In domestic mail, air forwarding is almost never practiced. As a result, shipments take a long time. The further, the longer. For example, the time it takes for a simple letter to travel from Ulyanovsk to Moscow is five days. Do you want it faster? No problems! Choose first class.

First class shipments - these are accelerated domestic mailings, delivery times of which are 25-30% lower than usual. In addition, handling and collection of first class items is always a priority and their delivery is not subject to seasonal restrictions. True, they are more expensive.

In other words, first class shipments are delivered quickly and anywhere. The main deadlines for their shipment are in a special table.

But only letters and parcels are sent first class. Not parcels! And this is where the time comes for exceptions.

Solve the problem. You need to send the seeds of rare plants to your uncle the forester. But in the fall, the road to his taiga village is washed away so that the only available transport is a helicopter. Arrives once a week. Question: how to deliver seeds to my uncle without waiting for winter, when the thaw is over? Solution: ask the post office to arrange the parcel as a first class parcel post. Uncle will receive seeds with the first helicopter.

First class shouldn't be confused with EMS shipping.

EMS (Express Mail Service) is an express delivery service. It is handled by a branch of the Russian Post - the EMS Russian Post service. Domestic express delivery is carried out throughout the country, while international delivery operates in more than 190 countries around the world.

EMS is door-to-door delivery. The courier will pick up the package directly from your home or office and deliver it anywhere. EMS Russian Post has its own transport network, here they guarantee safety and provide an opportunity to insure the shipment against damage or loss. Express shipping is more expensive than expedited shipping.

How to determine the cost

Shipping costs are affected by:

  1. Type of departure: letter / parcel post / parcel; registered / valuable / simple / with cash on delivery.
  2. Shipment method: regular or expedited.
  3. Value.
  4. Distance.

In the case of a customized parcel, the payment is taken only for the weight, the distance does not affect the cost. The cost of a valuable parcel, as well as other valuable items, depends on the distance, weight and amount of the estimate plus 4%. So, if you estimated the parcel at one hundred rubles, then another four rubles will be added to the tariff for distance and weight.

Passport and other documents are sent only by valuable letters (parcels) with a mandatory list of attachments.

Senders often deliberately underestimate the amount of assessment. If there is no difference, why pay more? But there is still a difference. When the package is lost, the sender will be reimbursed the amount of the estimate, regardless of the actual value of the investment. One hundred rubles is a hundred rubles.

Do not swear if the operator calls a different amount: this is not a whim. The calculator does not take into account regional shipping, packaging costs and others. additional services (more on them below). It is unlikely that you will be "cheated": the calculation of the shipping cost is performed by a computer, where the operator enters all the necessary parameters.

How to send correctly

Step 1. Determine the type of shipment

Parcel or small package? Custom or Valuable? Regular or expedited shipping?

It is worth dancing from what you want to send. Be careful: some items are prohibited from shipping individuals... Here is a list. For example, sending a humidor with Cuban cigars to a friend in a nearby town is no problem. And the same set for a friend abroad is no longer possible.

Step 2. Making out

Parcels sent across Russia without an inventory of attachments can be assembled at home - put things in a box, put them in a bubble wrap. They will check everything at the post office, glue the parcel with branded tape and put down the details. If you want to make an inventory, then it's better not to worry about packaging at all. It is more convenient to collect the parcel directly at the post office: anyway, the operator will carefully check each attachment and enter it into the inventory.

By sending fragile fragile things, you can additionally protect yourself. Ask the employee to put a Warning label on the package. Then, according to the rules, it must be carefully packed and passed from hand to hand without throwing it away. You will have to pay extra for safety - plus 30%.

It is very important to write the recipient's address correctly. How to fill out the "where / to whom" form, read.

Packing postal items, filling in accompanying forms, for example customs, compiling attachment inventories, writing addresses and written messages - all these are additional services. They are paid separately and are not available in all post offices.

In other words, the operator is not required to write the address or fill out a customs declaration for you. If you cannot do it yourself, they will help you, but you will have to pay extra.

How to track

The movement of registered postal items can be monitored. In the international message there are track codes for this, in the domestic one - a 14-character identifier.

It is on the check issued by the post office. By entering the identifier in a special form on the website, you can find out where the package is.


You can also track postal items using the Russian Post application. Yes, they have an app!

The application is very convenient. You can find out at any time where the package is located, and if its status changes (“I left sorting center"," Received by the addressee "), the application beeps. You can also find the nearest post office, check the zip code at the address, and even chat with support! There is also a "unique" service for residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg. But more on that later.

Russian Post has one more service that few people know about. These are SMS notifications about the arrival of a registered mail item or its delivery. To activate this service, you need to fill out an application by mail, indicating your phone number. The cost of one SMS is 10 rubles. You can pay for the service upon receipt of the parcel. Fly in the ointment is a one-time service.

How to get it right

Step 1. We receive a notification

If a registered mail item arrives at your name and address, you will know. A piece of paper with good news will be dropped into your mailbox - a notice. From it it will become clear what kind of shipment was sent to you, when, from where, and also how much it weighs.

Notices are primary and secondary... Primary is written out, as a rule, the next day after the parcel arrives at the department (take this type of shipment for example). That is, if the parcel arrived on the 1st, then the notification will most likely be written out on the 2nd. This is due to the fact that correspondence usually arrives at the offices after lunch and it takes time to process it.

From the moment the initial notification is issued, the countdown begins during which the recipient must pick up the parcel. This is five business days. If for some reason you did not have enough of them and you did not pick up the parcel (left, got sick, there was no time), then a secondary notice will be written to your name. It also happens that a person did not come, because he did not receive the initial notification. After all, it can fall out of the mailbox, it can be stolen, it can go unnoticed, sticking to the wall of the mailbox.

If you come for the parcel on the day of receiving the secondary notification or the next morning, then the storage fee will not be charged. But if you show up only on the 15th or 22nd, you will have to pay 5 rubles for each day of "downtime".

Step 2. We go to the mail

The recipient must fill in the reverse side of the notice, indicating his passport details, surname and putting a number and signature. At the post office you will need to present a notice and passport.

According to the law, the main document certifying the identity of a citizen of the Russian Federation on the territory of Russia is a passport (birth certificate). A temporary identity card of a citizen of the Russian Federation (Form No. 2-P) has equal legal force. A passport, driver's license, record book, pension certificate, and the like are not identity documents.

The postal officer will check the correctness of filling in the notification and the correspondence of the passport data. Then he will bring the parcel, weigh it in front of you (the permissible error is 70 grams) and hand it over.

Many people mistakenly believe that they can open the parcel on the spot and, if something is damaged inside, immediately demand compensation for damage. De jure, you can open a parcel at the post office in two cases:

  1. Sending with a list of attachments. In this case, the operator, with the consent of the client, must open the box and check that all items are in place.
  2. The outer shell is broken. If there are "traces of hacking", you can ask to open the parcel. In this case, the head of the post office is invited and a special act is drawn up. If it turns out that something is missing in the package, an investigation begins.

We write a power of attorney

You can receive a registered postal item in person or through a trusted person. But, of course, the parcel will not be returned just like that, even if it is your wife / mother / son and even if they come with your passport. You need a power of attorney.

The power of attorney must be in writing. Write: “I, such and such, living there, the data of the passport is such and such, I trust such and such, who lives there, the data of the passport is such and such, to receive registered postal items coming to my name”.

It is better to write exactly "registered mailings". If you specify a parcel, then a small package or letter will no longer be given and the power of attorney will actually turn out to be one-time.

The power of attorney must be certified. You don't have to go to a notary! You can certify the power of attorney to receive mailings at the place of work or study, the place of treatment. It is important that the document is crowned with the main seal of the institution (organization) and endorsed by the signature of the head with a decryption. A power of attorney with a "stamp for information" and a stroke of some accountant will not work.

Will they bring you home?

People who value their time and hate queues can use this paid service "Russian Post" as home delivery. There are two possibilities.

  1. Delivery of small packages. If the package weighs less than two kilograms, you can call the phone number indicated in the notification and order delivery. Delivery is made in work time postman at the address indicated on the shipment. The recipient must present a passport. The cost of the service is 100 rubles.
  2. Delivery of parcels by courier. Remember when we said that residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg who use the Russian Post application have a privilege? So, using the application, they can order a courier (!) Delivery of a parcel. Delivery will be carried out within two days from the date of application (every day from 9:00 to 20:00). The parcel is handed over to the addressee upon presentation of the passport. Service cost - 199 rubles.

I will complain!

The life hacker has already written about what to do, and. Articles are detailed - read, do not be lazy. Today we will tell you how to complain about a postal employee if, for example, he was rude to you (horror!) Or provided services in an inappropriate manner.

Method number 1

Each post office has a book of statements and suggestions. You can safely roll the slander right there. According to the rules, this book should be checked daily. When a new record appears, a copy of it is made and sent to the Russian Post control and reference service. The person in charge writes an explanatory note on the application.

Method number 2

Contact the Help Desk directly. Control and reference service "Russian Post" considers applications from citizens, provides background information, and is engaged in the search for postal items. Phone: 8-800-2005-888. Email: [email protected]

A little advice: before you write a complaint, remember that there is a person on the other side of the barricades with a very unenviable salary. But if your rights are really violated, be sure to defend them!

There is a great joke about Russian Post. But not everyone gets it.

Russian Post is more than just an organization. Nobody denies that there are problems. Big problems. But before you scold the mail, try to make friends with it. As you can see, the rules are not complicated there. Master it and you can save time, money and nerves.

Anything to add? Write comments!

Foreign economic activity is very profitable, but at the same time it requires care, accuracy, as well as actions approved by the legislation of the Russian Federation. Otherwise, problems may arise that completely exclude the possibility of getting a good conversion. The scariest moment is, of course, customs clearance. It is scary because it conceals a lot of unclear pitfalls, which, it seems, is almost impossible to cope with. But is the "devil" as scary as he is painted? Is it possible to independently deal with customs clearance and work with a calm heart? It is possible, and this publication is intended to clarify all the unclear points in this matter.

An important nuance: this article focuses on individual entrepreneurs or persons who officially registered LLC. Otherwise, it is not possible to import large consignments of goods into the territory of the Russian Federation without problems. It's just illegal and you won't have all the tools available to do it. The Moneymaker Factory on the pages of the site offers a lot of product ideas that can be implemented without problems with customs clearance, when even a small batch can make good money. Please take this into account in order to avoid misunderstanding and misinterpretation of the information.

Types of customs clearance

  • Self-filing of a declaration, which is what interests us most
  • Submitting a declaration with the help of a representative, i.e. a customs broker
  • Import of products / goods through a representative / broker contract

We will deal with the very first point and with all aspects in as much detail as possible. If you understand the specifics, then further difficulties do not arise.

Types of customs clearance

It is necessary, within the framework of our narration (master class), to talk about 2 main types of "customs clearance":

  • On the border
  • Over the arrival bridge

The essence does not change: you still have to fill in the same package of documents, pay duties, otherwise, the goods will not be received.

The difference is that in the second case, one more procedure should be involved, which is called "Customs transit". It can be opened at any place where the goods cross the border, and closed - at any place convenient for you on the territory of the Russian Federation. The carrier (freight forwarder, in other words) deals with issues related to the opening of transit. This topic should be covered separately, but let us briefly note that on these issues it is worth negotiating with the supplier, and he - with the representatives of the carrier.

As soon as the goods arrive at a convenient place for you, for example, in the city of St. Petersburg, you will have to master the role of the declarant, which we will talk about further.

First stage

First of all, you need to decide on the goods that you plan to trade in the future. This is fundamentally important, and it will be explained below why.

There are some nuances in the design of, say, a batch of cell phones and a batch of printing presses.

However, it is important to understand the uniform algorithm customs clearance.

Step 1. Product selection

We start by choosing a specific product. Let's take the Aliexpress hypermarket as an example.

We chose a product - a watch with a creative design (link). Based on it, we will virtually go through all the stages of customs clearance with you:

Step 2 - contact the seller

The next step is to get in touch with the seller. Our top priority at this point is to request an official datasheet.

Most sellers on Aliexpress have all kinds of certificates, permits, diplomas. Even if this is not the case, they can always draw up an OFFICIAL technical description on letterhead (the presence of a blue seal is required).

Step 3 - composing the request

The next step is to write the query itself. Write a letter to the seller within the online store (see Figure 2), and in it (in the letter) list the following information categories:

Attention: communication with the seller takes place exclusively on english language, so a request template should be prepared. You can use our option:

Hello!
I want to buy from you the (...). It is important for me to receive your official document, technical description.
Please fill the following items. I also want you to do this on the official form and seal.
1. Trade name
2. Field of application
3. Purpose
4. Materials
5. Parameters
6. Other important information that you possess
Thank you, I am sure that we will have a pleasant cooperation

Preparation of documents

There are 2 options for goods crossing the border:

  • Together with you when you import them directly
  • Without you, when the seller sends you an order

The second option is more common, nevertheless, let us make a reservation that the list of documents is the same, you just have to be demanding and insistent that your supplier correctly draws up everything. You may have to communicate in chats for a long time, ask to demonstrate the entire package of documents to you personally.

Do not neglect this moment, since it depends on whether the goods will be imported into the country, which means whether you will receive your profit and whether you will not lose money spent on the purchase.

What to demand from the seller (or from yourself, if you accompany the goods):

    First, the waybill, which will be valid for international carriage of the type of your choice:

  • Secondly, be sure to request an invoice.It is also called invoice, pro forma invoice. Check that the seller specifies in the paper the following information:

    • Serial number of the document
    • Date of preparation
    • Postal addresses of both buyer and seller (physical, legal)
    • Bank accounts and details of both counterparties (seller-buyer)
    • Number and date of conclusion of the contract (foreign trade)
    • The presence of a description of the package, container, for example, container number
    • Article, brand, product model, best of all ETNVED code
    • Unit cost
    • Total quantity of goods
    • Total purchase cost
    • Complete (if possible) information about the manufacturer, country

    An important tip: ask the seller to print the invoice on a color printer. Paradoxically, it is a fact - this makes customs officials more trustworthy.

    Third, the supplier is obliged to provide you with a packing slip (it also has a blue seal on it).On this sheet, he (the seller) indicates the following information:

    • Weight and gross (with / without tare)
    • Number of items
    • Number of packages
    • Again, a description of the packaging
    • Information about the weight and cost of one or another packaging type

    An important tip: do not let the seller write the packing list only in a language they know only (that is, Chinese). Insist on the addition of English (in case of a miracle - Russian) - it is international, and it will be understood at customs. Imagine the "joy" of border guards who have to decipher the hieroglyphs. Obviously, no one will be in a hurry.
    It is best to ask to send you a document by mail (e-mail) and make a translation into Russian in advance, just in case.

    Fourth, remember how much you plan (or have already made) the purchase. If it (amount) exceeds $ 50,000, then you are required to open a passport of a foreign trade transaction.

    Yes, today the fact of the presence of the passport of the transaction at customs is confirmed in automatic mode, since information is received from the database of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation directly to the customs authorities, but it is better to insure yourself.

    Fifthly, if you are carrying the goods yourself (yes, even if not, all the same, if you visit customs, draw up a declaration, you will present them), prepare the following papers:

    • Certificate of state registration with INN
    • Tax registration certificate from checkpoint
    • A statistical summary, which indicates OKPO and SOATO ( legal address required)
    • Statement from the bank indicating accounts, both ruble and foreign currency
  • Sixth, make sure that, if necessary, you can appeal with documents such as:

    • Invoices issued for transportation, handling, warehousing and more. This may be necessary only if these costs are not included in the terms of delivery.
    • Insurance policy, also only if the insurance was not included in the final contractual amount. Exists general rule, which prescribes the amount of independent insurance - 1.1 of the total value of the goods.
  • Seventh, Aliexpress rules imply 100% advance payment for the goods, and this is logical, especially since there is a customer protection system. You must prepare documents confirming the fact of payment. They may be needed both for personal transportation of goods and customs clearance and for a "joyful meeting". If you paid from cards (Visa, Master Card), through PayPal, and so on, you can get a bank statement, since cards are usually tied to it, not taking into account virtual views.

    Some comrades take screenshots from the WebMoney and Qiwi systems, someone makes an extract with their own hands, and then assures it from the head and the chief accountant or from himself, if he is.

Permits for the movement of goods across the border

Here you need to "dance" from the type of ordered goods. You cannot erase words from the "song", but since the Moneymaker Factory undertook to fully disclose the issue, we will list permits to move goods across the border. In the case of our watches, 99% that they will not be required - there is always 1% left when it comes to our customs.

In general, the list is as follows:

  • Declaration / certificate of safety / conformity. Usually required for products that interact directly with a person. A very vague concept, but that is exactly what it is.
  • Veterinary certificate to be issued for products capable of infecting animals
  • Phytosanitary certificate for those products that are dangerous to Mother Nature
  • Special Permissions government agencies... This topic is vast and should be covered in a separate article. Of course, this does not apply to watches, but if you decide to bring nunchaku, you may suspect that you are planning to open a ninja cult, so you will have to ask permission from the Grand Ministry of Internal Affairs.
  • A certificate of origin can come in handy if there are benefits / quotas for imported products by country of origin.

A few words about brands

This must be agreed with the supplier in advance. It is clear that people are hungry for fashionable and prestigious brands. Perhaps you even harbored a desire to order something like that.

Note:on Aliexpress has long been banned from specifying fashion brands, and cunning sellers do their best to gloss over all such logos with a black marker on photos.

Warn the supplier so that these very inscriptions are not visible, especially on boxes (or other type of packaging). Representatives of the rightholders are not asleep and are waiting for such consignments of goods at the borders.

You can check the names / brands / brands by downloading the register from here http://ved.customs.ru/index.php?option\u003dcom_content&view\u003darticle&id\u003d109:2010-09-09-06-26-44&catid\u003d13:2008-10 -16-13-51-15 & Itemid \u003d 1814! Examine the item codes that are protected by intellectual property. Forewarned is forearmed.

Your right is to choose the so-called "parallel import", but here again there may be big problems, because license fees for the ability to use a trademark are nothing more than a part of the structure of the customs value of goods.

What affects the customs value of the goods?

This issue worries all entrepreneurs who, at their own peril and risk, have decided to independently go through the "from and to" procedure of customs clearance.

Frankly, there is no clear definition, which may be very frustrating, but the fact remains. Customs officers cheerfully form the cost, operating with such documents as:

  • Seller's price list
  • Additions to the terms of sale
  • The bank control sheet can play a role if the goods have already been imported earlier under the contract
  • Copy (translated) of the export declaration, or, alternatively, a letter explaining its failure to provide
  • Seller comments on education / pricing
  • Contracts concluded with third parties
  • Documents from the accounting department for conducting previously imported similar goods
  • Price information from the domestic market of the country

The specifics of the first customs clearance

Yes, most of the difficulties are associated with the collection of a package of documents. Moreover, many entrepreneurs refuse to buy on Aliexpress just because they are afraid that the seller will not be able to provide all the papers in full.

In fact, the seller is just as interested in the deal as you are, so in the vast majority of situations everything goes smoothly, given that large companies, of which there are many in the hypermarket, a scheme for wholesale shipments has already been established.

You will also be provided with all kinds of information support.

If you are now on the threshold of the first customs clearance, we recommend that you also prepare an additional package of documents in advance:

  • Decisions on founding a company
  • Articles of Association / copy of the Articles of Association
  • Order with a seal on the appointment of an accountant and director
  • Extract from State Register
  • Certified copies of passports of the accountant and director
  • Certificate of ownership
  • Provision of a certificate from the registration chamber
  • Balance sheet (assuming the last reporting period), the mark of the tax service is required
  • Proof of payment of bills for the last few months of rent
  • Directly, the lease agreement for non-residential premises

Very often doubts arise: what if all this is not needed. The answer to such a remark can be only one, appealing to the fact - if something goes wrong, the goods are delayed at customs, and for every day a penalty “drips”. Comments, as they say, are unnecessary. It is better to create a universal package of documents in advance.

All about customs payments

In addition to the "obstacles" in the form of rejection of documents collected with such thoroughness, people are even more afraid of the question: how much will have to pay customs for the import of goods. Of course, I want everything to be taken and given away for free, but in practice this does not happen, customs clearance issues turn into Hell, which seems to have no boundaries.

Why pay

This is a rhetorical question, since full and timely payment upon import can be at least some kind of guarantee that the goods will still be imported.

It is also worth taking a sober view of priorities. russian customsthat works to fill the federal budget.

Where and how to pay?

Most customs duties are denominated in euros, the most stable currency. Nevertheless, payments to customs are required to be received in rubles, which is why in absolutely every customs declaration you will see a corresponding column that is designed to describe the exchange rate. The latter may fluctuate, but the one that was relevant on the day of registration of the declaration will be considered valid.

Commission Decision Customs Union (http://www.tsouz.ru/KTS/KTS15/Pages/P_246.aspx) decided that each country determines the account itself, to which all payments are received.

Therefore, YOU MUST FIND OUT 100% EXACT ACCOUNT DETAILSWHERE YOU WILL LIST PAYMENTS.

Application *:

An example of calculating the cost of our product: a watch with a cartoon drawing (we assume that the seller indicates the real value on the shipment)

What we have: consignment of goods with a total value of 85 471 rubles
Classic ad valorem rate: it is 10% of the value of the goods, therefore, 8,547.1 rubles
VAT, value added tax: it is 18% of the indicated cost, so we get: 15 384, 78 rubles
The total cost of the ad valorem rate including VAT: 23 931.88 rubles

* Note: the real cost may fluctuate in one direction or another, plus, additional costs are individual, depending on border control. But the overall picture is just that.

This is necessary to get a head start to correct possible mistakes.

Types of parcels from China

All postal items from China can be divided into two groups:

  1. Tracking parcels (registered international shipments). Such parcels can be tracked all the way up to delivery to the recipient.
  2. Parcels without tracking (unregistered international shipments). This view Parcels are tracked only in China and are used for the most inexpensive items. The track number consists of 11-15 characters, often without the use of letters.

What if the China Post package is not trackable?

Recently, shippers of goods from China, saving on delivery services, assign identifier numbers to parcels, which in fact do not exist. This somewhat reduces the cost of the goods, but increases the risk that you may not receive your parcel. Therefore, if your package is not tracked, then you need to take the following actions:

  • track after a while, tk. some orders are processed from 1 to 3 weeks;
  • check with the seller the number and name postal service which delivers;
  • if the parcel is not received, open a dispute.
