China Post tracking. What can not be ordered from China to Russia. List of goods prohibited for import Just a package from China list of goods

It is profitable to buy goods in Chinese online stores, because 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 should be carefully studied before going shopping or ordering goods in 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.

Before you start ordering a particular product from China, each of you should know what can and cannot be sent by mail from abroad.

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

The information below is true and official. Everything is taken from the website of the Federal Customs Service and the Russian Post. I just added clarifications to some points.

Goods prohibited for import into Russia:

  1. Alcoholic products. This includes vodka, beer, cognac, whiskey, etc. In general, anything that contains ethyl alcohol.

  5. live animals, with the exception of bees, leeches, silkworms.
  6. Plants in any form and condition, plant seeds. As for the seeds, it’s worth arguing a little, parcels with them went through customs without hindrance (many people ordered). If you are going to order seeds, then remember that this is illegal.

  8. Counterfeit and pirated items.
  9. Weapon: gunshot, traumatic, cold, etc. Here the question arises: "Is it possible to order knives"? I answer: "It is possible"! How to determine if a knife is a melee weapon is written -.
  10. Separate parts of weapons, cartridges and their parts. For example, arrows for bows and crossbows are not allowed. The same applies to arrowheads and other components of arrows.
  11. Batteries and accumulators. This is a controversial point. Many ordered similar products and received them by mail without any problems.
  12. Explosive, flammable substances. I will explain this point as follows - it is forbidden to order lighters.

  14. Laser pointers more powerful than 1 watt.

Goods conditionally admitted for shipment:

Information about goods conditionally admitted for shipment was taken from the website of the RUSSIAN MAIL and Customs.

Conditionally eligible items are those items that are not completely prohibited, but require appropriate permission from the state control authorities to receive them.

  1. Encryption (cryptographic) means and devices with encryption (cryptography) functions. Some printers, pocket writing machines, cash registers etc. A complete list of products in this category can be found -.
  2. Radioelectronic means and/or high frequency devices civil purpose, including built-in or included in other products. Some household microwave ovens, radio stations, children's intercoms, etc. A complete list of products in this category can be found -.
  3. Bees, leeches, silkworms, which are sent with a veterinary certificate.

The most important - IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ORDER GOODS FROM THE PROHIBITED LIST . Do not attract the attention of employees customs service. And you'll get yourself in a lot of trouble. They can also start a criminal case.

At the end of this article, I would like to say:

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

According to the Internet, Russian Post is an "evil corporation". Her creed is chaos. Break everything and lose for your money! One branch - one window. Got in line? Write a will. Yes, just in case. “There are many of you, but I am alone” is the most polite thing you can hear from a postal employee. And why don't they still hang the portrait of the "haml of the month" in a conspicuous place?

But maybe it's not all that bad? Not everything is lost?

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

Calmly! Do not rush to be indignant in the comments: “They don’t 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 expenses and hassle.

Learning to distinguish a parcel from a parcel

According to federal law No. 176 “On postal communication”, postal items include:

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

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

small package- international postal item containing small items. The maximum weight is 2 kg. Does not require special packaging.
Parcel- 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- postage for sending things. Minimum dimensions: 114 x 162 mm or 110 x 220 mm.

All shipments are divided into simple and registered. Simple ones are accepted and delivered without any receipts and signatures. I bought an envelope with a stamp, sent a letter, and the addressee will look in the mailbox and receive it. In the second case, everything is documented: the sender receives a receipt, and the recipient receives a notification.

Registered postal items are:

  1. Custom(letters, postcards, parcels, small packages) - delivered against signature, if desired, you can order a notification of delivery.
  2. Valuable(letters, parcels, parcels) - when sending, an assessment of the cost of the investment is made, sometimes an inventory is drawn up.
  3. With cash on delivery- Shipping fee is charged from the addressee upon receipt.

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

Pechkin knows his stuff! It's just that, as you understand, current rules You can’t send a poker by parcel post (only written correspondence and documents), and the parcel can weigh less than a kilogram. For example, you decide to send your beloved grandmother a book (500 grams) and a box of chocolates (300 grams) as a gift. Due to the sweet content, the shipment will be considered a parcel: it will be packed in a special plastic bag or cardboard box. And if there was only a book, it would pass for a parcel post.

But sometimes “non-standard” attachments are also issued as a parcel. For example, magnets, cosmetic samples or seeds. This is done when the investment is not heavy and every minute counts.

First class vs EMS

There are the following shipping methods postal items:

  1. ground- letters and parcels are delivered by rail, road and other land transport.
  2. Avia- air delivery.
  3. Combined- part of the way the departure travels on the ground, and part flies.
  4. Accelerated- delivery times are reduced by a few days.

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

First class mail- these are expedited domestic postal items, the delivery time of which is 25-30% lower than usual. In addition, the processing and collection of first class shipments is always a priority, and their delivery is not subject to seasonal restrictions. True, they cost more.

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

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

Solve the problem. You need to send seeds of rare plants to your forester uncle. But in autumn 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 uncle without waiting for winter, when the thaw ends? Solution: ask the postal worker to issue the parcel as a first class parcel. Uncle will get the seeds with the first helicopter.

First class should not be confused with EMS delivery.

EMS(Express Mail Service) is a service for express delivery of items. She is engaged in a branch of the Russian Post - the EMS Russian Post service. Domestic express delivery is carried out throughout the country, and international express delivery operates in more than 190 countries around the world.

EMS is door to door delivery. The courier will pick up the parcel directly from your home or office and deliver it to any point. EMS Russian Post has its own transport network, which guarantees safety and makes it possible 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 / parcel; custom / valuable / simple / cash on delivery.
  2. Delivery method: regular or expedited.
  3. Value.
  4. Distance.

In the case of a registered 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 the amount of the assessment plus 4%. So, if you valued the parcel at one hundred rubles, then four more 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 the estimate. If there is no difference, why pay more? But there is still a difference. When a parcel is lost, the sender is compensated for the amount of the assessment, regardless of the real value of the investment. One hundred rubles is one hundred rubles.

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

How to send

Step 1. Decide on the type of shipment

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

Dance is worth what you want to send. Please note that some items are prohibited from shipping. individuals. Here is the list. For example, sending a humidor with Cuban cigars to a friend in a neighboring city is no problem. And the same set for a friend abroad is no longer possible.

Step 2. Making out

Parcels sent across Russia without a list of attachments can be collected at home - put things in a box, shift them with a pimply film. At the post office, they will check everything, glue the parcel with branded tape and put down the details. If you want to make an inventory, then it is 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.

Sending fragile breaking things, you can additionally secure. Ask the employee to put a “Caution!” 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 mail, filling out accompanying forms, such as customs, compiling inventories of attachments, 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 obliged to write the address or fill out the customs declaration for you. If you cannot do it yourself, they will help you, but you will have to pay extra.

How to track

You can follow the movement of registered mail items. In the international message, there are track codes for this, in the domestic one - a 14-character identifier.

It is on the check issued in the mail. By entering the identifier in a special form on the site, 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 at any time find out where the package is located, and if its status changes (“Left sorting center”, “Received by addressee”), the application will beep. You can also find the nearest post office, find out the postcode by address, and even chat with the support team! There is also a "unique" service for residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg. But more on that later.

Russian Post has another service that few people know about. These are SMS notifications about the arrival of a registered postal 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. A fly in the ointment is a one-time service.

How to receive

Step 1. We receive a notification

If a registered mail arrives in your name and address, you will be notified. A piece of paper with good news - a notice - will be dropped into your mailbox. 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. The primary is issued, as a rule, the next day after the parcel arrives at the department (let's take this type of shipment as an example). That is, if the parcel arrived on the 1st, then the notice will most likely be issued on the 2nd. This is due to the fact that correspondence usually arrives at the departments 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 didn’t have enough of them and you didn’t pick up the parcel (you left, fell ill, there was no time), then a secondary notice will be written out in 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 box.

If you come for the package on the day of receipt of the secondary notice or the next morning, then no storage fee will 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. Go to the post office

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

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

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

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

  1. Parcel with attachment description. In this case, the operator, with the consent of the client, must open the box and check if all the items are in place.
  2. The outer shell is broken. If there are “traces of hacking”, you can ask to open the package. 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, they won’t just give the parcel to the post office, even if it’s 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, residing there, passport data such and such, trust such and such, residing there, passport data such and such, to receive registered mail coming in my name.”

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

The power of attorney must be authenticated. You don't have to go to a notary! You can certify the power of attorney to receive mail 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 transcript. A power of attorney with a “seal for reference” and a stroke of some accountant will not work.

Will they bring it home?

People who value their time and hate queues can use this paid service Russian Post, like home delivery. There are two options.

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

I will complain!

Lifehacker has already written about what to do, and. Detailed articles - 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 (oh horror!) Or provided services inappropriately.

Method number 1

Every post office has a book of applications and offers. You can safely roll the slander right there. According to the rules, this book should be checked daily. When a new entry appears, a copy is made and sent to the control and reference service of the Russian Post. The responsible person writes an explanatory note to the application.

Method number 2

Contact the Help Desk directly. Control and reference service"Mail of Russia" considers the appeals of citizens, gives background information, is engaged in the search for postal items. Phone: 8-800-2005-888. Email: [email protected]

A little advice: before writing a complaint, remember that on the other side of the barricades there is a person 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 scolding mail, try to make friends with it. As you can see, the rules there are simple. You will master and be able to save time, money and nerves.

Have something 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 obtaining a good conversion. The most terrible moment is, of course, customs clearance. It is scary because it is fraught with a lot of obscure pitfalls, which seem almost impossible to cope with. But is the “devil” as terrible as it is painted? Is it possible to deal with customs clearance on your own and work with a calm heart? It is possible, and this publication is intended to clarify all the unclear points in this matter.

Important nuance: this article is focused on individual entrepreneurs or persons who have officially registered an 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 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.

The Moneymaker Factory on the pages of the site offers a lot of product ideas that can be carried out 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-submission of the declaration, which interests us most of all
  • Filing 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 as detailed as possible. If you understand the specifics, then in the future there will be no difficulties.

Types of customs clearance

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

  • On the border
  • By the goods arrival bridge

The essence does not change: you still have to fill out 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 (forwarder, in other words) deals with issues related to the opening of transit. This topic should be covered separately, but we briefly note that these issues should be negotiated with the supplier, and he - with the representatives of the carrier.

As soon as the goods arrive at a place convenient 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 we will explain why later.

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 unified algorithm customs clearance.

Step 1. Selecting a product

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 - contacting the seller

The next step is to contact the seller. Our priority at this point is to request an official technical description.

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 mandatory).

Step 3 - making a request

The next step is writing the query itself. Write a letter to the seller within the framework of 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 you should prepare a request template. You can use our version:

Hello!
I want to buy from you the (…). It is important for me to receive your official document, technical description.
Please complete 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, however, we will 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 chat for a long time, ask to show 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, and, therefore, whether you will receive your profit and whether you will not lose the money spent on the purchase.

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

    First, the bill of lading, which will be valid for international transportation of the type you choose:

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

    • Document serial number
    • Date of preparation
    • Postal addresses, 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 ETNVED code
    • Unit cost
    • Total quantity of goods
    • Total purchase price
    • Full (if possible) information about the manufacturer, country

    Important advice: ask the seller to print the invoice on a color printer. It is paradoxical, but true - this causes more confidence among customs officers.

    Thirdly, the supplier is obliged to provide you with a packing list (it also has a blue seal). In this sheet, he (the seller) indicates the following information:

    • Weight and gross (with/without tare)
    • Number of product units
    • Number of packages
    • Again, a description of the packaging
    • Information about the weight and cost of a particular packaging type

    Important advice: do not allow the seller to write the packing list only in a language known only to him (Chinese, that is). 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 the border guards, who will 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 (electronic) and make a translation into Russian in advance, just in case.

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

    Yes, today the fact of the presence of the transaction passport at customs is confirmed in automatic mode, since information is received from the database of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation directly to Customs but it's better to be safe.

    Fifthly, if you are transporting the goods yourself (yes, even if not, it doesn’t matter if you visit customs, draw up a declaration, present them), prepare the following papers:

    • Certificate of state registration with TIN
    • Certificate of tax registration with checkpoint
    • Statistical certificate, which indicates OKPO and SOATO ( legal address required)
    • Certificate from the bank indicating the accounts, both ruble and foreign currency

  • Sixth, make sure that, if necessary, you can appeal with documents such as:

    • Invoices issued for transportation, loading and unloading, storage services, etc. This may only be necessary if these costs are not included in the terms of delivery.
    • An insurance policy, also only if the insurance was not included in the total contractual amount. Exists general rule, which prescribes the amount of independent insurance - 1.1 of the value of the entire cost of the goods.

  • Seventh, the rules of Aliexpress require 100% prepayment for the goods, and this is logical, especially since there is a buyer protection system in place. You must prepare documents confirming the fact of payment. They may be needed both for personal transportation of goods and customs clearance, as well as for a “joyful meeting”. If you paid with cards (Visa, Master Card), PayPal, and so on, you can get a bank statement, since cards are usually linked to it, without taking into account virtual types.

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

Permits for the movement of goods across the border

Here you need to "dance" on the type of ordered goods. You can’t throw out words from the “song”, but since the Moneymaker Factory undertook to reveal the issue as fully as possible, we will list permits for the movement of goods across the border. In the case of our watches, 99% that they will not be required - there is always 1% when it comes to our customs.

In general, the list is as follows:

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

A few words about brands

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

Note: Aliexpress has long forbidden to indicate fashion brands, and cunning sellers contrive in every possible way, covering all such logos in photographs with a black marker.

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

You can check the names/brands/brands by downloading the registry from here http://ved.customs.ru/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=109:2010-09-09-06-26-44&catid=13:2008-10 -16-13-51-15&Itemid=1814 ! Examine the product line 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, after all, royalties for the opportunity to use a trademark are nothing more than part of the structure of the customs value of the goods.

What affects the customs value of goods?

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

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

  • Seller price list
  • Additions to the terms of sale
  • The bank control sheet can play a role if the goods have already been imported under the contract
  • A copy (translated) of the export declaration, or alternatively a letter explaining that it was not provided
  • Seller's comments on education/pricing
  • Contracts concluded with third parties
  • Documents from the accounting department for carrying out previously imported similar goods
  • Price information from the domestic market of the country

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 purchase 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 transaction 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 verge of the first customs clearance, we recommend that you also prepare an additional package of documents in advance:

  • Decisions on the establishment of a society
  • Charter / copy of the charter of the enterprise
  • Order with a seal on the appointment of an accountant and director
  • Extract from State Register
  • Certified copies of passports of accountant and director
  • Certificate of ownership
  • Providing a certificate from the registration chamber
  • Balance sheet (assuming the latest 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 there are doubts: what if all this is not needed. There can be only one answer to such a remark, appealing to the fact - if something goes wrong, the goods are delayed at customs, and a fine is “dripped” for every day. Comments, as they say, are unnecessary. It is better to form a universal package of documents in advance.

All about customs payments

In addition to the "obstacles" in the form of non-acceptance of documents collected with such care, people are even more afraid of the question: how much will they have to pay customs for the import of goods. Of course, I want everyone to take and give away for free, but in practice this does not happen, customs clearance issues turn into Hell, which seems to have no boundaries.

Why you need to pay

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

It's also important to be mindful of your priorities. Russian customs, which works in order to fill the federal budget.

Where and how to pay?

Most customs payments are calculated in euro, the most stable currency. Nevertheless, payments to customs must be made in rubles, which is why in absolutely every customs declaration you will see the corresponding column, which is designed to describe the exchange rate. The latter may fluctuate, but the one that was relevant on the day the declaration was registered will be considered valid.

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

Therefore, YOU SHOULD FIND 100% ACCURATE ACCOUNT DETAILS WHERE YOU WILL PAY PAYMENTS.

Application *:

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

What we have: a consignment of goods, with a total value of 85,471 rubles
Classic ad valorem rate: it is 10% of the cost 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 final cost of the ad valorem rate, including VAT: 23,931.88 rubles

* Note: the actual cost may fluctuate one way or another, plus, additional costs are individual, depending on border control. But the general picture is just that.

We submit a customs declaration

From January 1 of the current 2014, all declarations are filled in in electronic format. The procedure for filling it out can be carefully studied at the link, based on the decision of the Commission - there is nothing complicated there - http://www.consultant.ru/document/cons_doc_LAW_149157/.

Customs declaration is drawn up in advance, after which you take all the documents that we wrote about at the very beginning of the publication and go to the customs officers. Rest assured, they are already waiting for you.

If the declaration is drawn up correctly, then stipulate the possibility of its submission.

Important advice: it is optimal to start all negotiations, especially for beginners, even before the goods complete customs transit, before they arrive at their destination, and even better, in advance, before the departure crosses the customs border of the Russian Federation. This is necessary to get a handicap to correct possible errors.

conclusions

Summarizing all the above information, we can draw the following conclusions:

  • You can go through the customs clearance process yourself
  • You should pay very close attention to the collection of a complete package of documents
  • It is important to clearly discuss with the supplier the list of papers that he must prepare, constantly monitor the process

site is an online tracking service for parcels, with which you can track your China Post mail.

China Post (China Post) is engaged in the delivery of parcels and mail in China and beyond. This postal operator carries out a huge volume of shipments of goods from Aliexpress and other similar trading floors that have become wildly popular over the past few years. When registering a postal item at China Post, all parcels are assigned a unique track number that complies with the S10 standard of the Universal Postal Union (consists of 13 characters).

With the help of the online parcel tracking service, the website will track the exact location of your mailing item by China Post in a matter of minutes.

How to track a China Post package?

Types of parcels from China

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

  1. Parcels with tracking (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 type parcels are tracked only in China and are used for the most inexpensive goods. The track number consists of 11-15 characters, often without the use of letters.

What should I do if the package of China Post is not trackable?

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

  • track after a while, tk. some orders are processed from 1 to 3 weeks;
  • check with the seller for the number and name postal service which carries out the delivery;
  • in case of non-receipt of the parcel, open a dispute.
