How to confirm re-import equipment repair 0. Processing outside the customs territory and re-import. Temporary export clearance

Temporary export - this is the customs procedure in which the goods of the vehicle are exported and used within the established period outside the customs territory of the vehicle with full exemption from payment of export customs duties and without the use of non-tariff regulation with subsequent placement under the customs procedure of re-import.

The placement of goods under the customs procedure of temporary exportation is allowed provided that it is possible to identify goods placed under this customs procedure. If, in accordance with international treaties of the CU member states, replacement of temporarily exported goods is allowed, identification is not required.

It is not allowed to place under the customs procedure of temporary export:

o food products, beverages, including alcoholic, tobacco and tobacco products, raw materials and semi-finished products, consumables and samples, with the exception of cases of their export in single copies for advertising and (or) demonstration purposes or as exhibition exhibits or industrial designs;
o waste, including industrial;
o goods prohibited for export outside the customs territory of the Customs Union.

The time limit for the temporary export of goods is established by the customs authority on the basis of a declaration by the declarant based on the objectives and circumstances of such export. Temporarily exported goods may be placed under the customs procedure of re-import or under another customs procedure in one or more parties.

If the temporarily exported goods are not returned, export customs duties are calculated based on the customs value of the goods and (or) their quantity when exporting them, as well as the customs duty rates applicable on the day the goods are submitted to the customs procedure of temporary export. Interest is paid on the indicated amounts at the refinancing rates of the bike of Russia, as if a deferral had been granted for these amounts on the day the goods were placed under the customs procedure of temporary export. When a customs export procedure is declared with respect to natural gas temporarily exported by pipeline to be placed in underground gas storages located outside the customs territory of the Russian Federation, no interest will be charged on the amount of export customs duties.

Temporarily exported goods are subject to re-import into the customs territory of the Russian Federation no later than the day of the expiration of the period of temporary export or must be declared for another customs procedure.

At the request of the person who placed the goods under the customs procedure of temporary export, the customs authority allows the customs procedure of temporary export to be changed to the customs procedure of export. An exception is the case if, in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, temporarily exported goods are subject to mandatory re-importation into the customs territory of the Russian Federation.

In case of transfer to the alien of the right of ownership of the temporarily exported goods, the person who placed the goods under the customs procedure of temporary export is obliged to change the customs procedure of temporary export to the customs procedure of export.

Changing the customs procedure of temporary export to another customs procedure applicable to exported goods is allowed without the actual presentation of the goods to the customs authority.

Responsibility for the payment of customs duties lies with the person who placed the goods under the customs procedure of temporary export.

Reimport

Reimport- this is a customs procedure in which goods previously exported from the customs territory of the Russian Federation are imported into its customs territory on time without paying customs duties, taxes and without applying non-tariff regulation measures to goods.

Goods placed under the customs re-import procedure are considered for customs purposes as released for domestic consumption. The placement of goods under the customs procedure of re-import is allowed if:

o when exported from the customs territory of the Russian Federation, goods had the status of goods for domestic consumption or were products of the processing of foreign goods in the customs procedure of processing in the customs territory;
o goods are declared to the customs regime of re-import within three years from the day following the day the goods cross the customs border when they are exported from the customs territory of the Russian Federation. At the motivated request of the interested person, the head of the customs structural unit extends the specified period in relation to equipment used for construction, industrial production, mining and other similar purposes, subject to all other provisions of the customs re-import regime. Simultaneously with the request (submitted in any form in advance, no later than 30 days before the declaration of goods), which sets out the circumstances of the export of goods, customs declarations, documents confirming the day the goods crossed the customs border when they were exported from the customs territory of the country, information about operations repair of goods; if such operations were carried out with goods outside the customs territory of the Russian Federation - safety (compliance) certificates, if re-imported goods are subject to mandatory certification;
o goods are in the same condition as they were exported from the customs territory of the Russian Federation, with the exception of changes that occurred as a result of normal wear and tear or natural loss under normal conditions of transportation, storage or use (operation);
o amounts of import customs duties, taxes, subsidies and other amounts payable to the federal budget upon re-import of goods have been paid.

The use of goods outside the customs territory of the Russian Federation for profit, as well as the performance of operations with them necessary to ensure their safety, including repair (with the exception of major repairs and modernization), maintenance and other operations necessary to preserve consumer properties and maintenance of goods in the state in which they were on the day of their export from the customs territory of the Russian Federation does not prevent the goods from being placed under the customs regime of re-import. The exception is cases when repair operations have led to an increase in the cost of goods compared with their value on the day of export.

Under the customs procedure of re-import, goods that were previously placed under other customs procedures, such as export, temporary export, processing outside the customs territory, can be placed.

When re-importing goods, the following shall be returned to the federal budget:

a) the amount of import customs duties, taxes and (or) interest on them, if their amounts were not collected or were returned in connection with the export of goods from the customs territory of the Russian Federation;
b) the amount of internal taxes, subsidies and other amounts not paid or received directly or indirectly as payments, benefits or compensations in connection with the export of goods from the customs territory of the Russian Federation.

Amounts of import customs duties and taxes are calculated according to the rules established by Art. 251 TC CU to determine the amount of customs duties and taxes payable when releasing processed products for domestic consumption.

Amounts of internal taxes are calculated based on the rates applicable on the day the customs declaration is accepted when exporting goods from the customs territory of the Russian Federation, and the customs value of goods and (or) their quantity, which are determined when exporting goods from the customs territory of the Russian Federation.

FEA participants are required to prove to the customs authorities the Russian origin of the re-imported goods. Such a decision was made on October 8, 2001 by the first instance of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation.

We have ready-made solutions for the customs clearance of any goods. This will save you money and time when moving goods and vehicles across the customs border during declaration. If necessary, we can offer a way out of any situation, including changing the customs procedure under which your cargo is placed.

Processing outside the customs territory and re-import

Description of customs procedures for processing outside the customs territory and re-import.

Processing outside the customs territory Export 21

Product Status - loses the status of the goods of the vehicle in the actual crossing of the border and is imported as foreign goods.
The result of the customs procedure - the product has no restrictions on use on the territory of the vehicle.

It is made out in the regime department for at least 15 days.

The goods of the Customs Union (CU) are exported for the purpose of processing operations outside the CU within the established time limits with full conditional exemption from payment of the export customs duty and without the application of non-tariff regulation with the subsequent import of processed products.

Conditions for placing goods under the customs procedure:
- availability of permission for processing outside the customs territory, it is issued only to the declarant of goods (the company is a participant in foreign economic activity), who will subsequently act as a contract holder (permission is issued by customs in the region where he has a checkpoint);
To obtain a permit it is necessary: \u200b\u200ban application - imported goods, goods received with the name and quantity, as well as the notional value; describe the production process; determine the output standards; decide on identification methods; determine the processing time; specify processors.
The term for consideration of the application is from 15 to 30 days as much as possible. After consideration, the customs authority either issues a permit on the form with all the information, or issues a written refusal.
Clearance issued by customs: issued on a letterhead of the established form to the declarant, indicating what is exported, how it is processed, exit standards, identification methods, who will be done when import will take place.
* simplified procedure: the processing operation is repair, the declarant has the right to use the diesel fuel instead of the processing application according to the Import 21 procedure (indicating all processing information, as in the application, in the diesel fuel).
There is a simplified procedure for this procedure - repair, the declarant has the right to use the diesel fuel according to the procedure of Export 21. This reports the repair from other processing modes!
- identification of TS products in processed productsin accordance with identification methods:
Classic identification method:Physical control (description, photo, stamp, marking, branding, drawings, sampling, chemical or spectral analysis, independent examination, etc.).
1 backup identification method(documentary method - detailed information about the technological process, raw materials and materials BASED ON ACCOUNTING AND WAREHOUSE DOCUMENTS for separate accounting with the provision of accounting documents on the movement of goods and money during processing).
*exceptions: identification is not required if the customs authority permits replacement, while a foreign product placed under this procedure must be an equivalent product (this is a product of a vehicle that, in its descriptions, technical characteristics and quality, matches a foreign product placed under the procedure, while such goods mutually change their status - a foreign product acquires the status of a CU, and an equivalent product acquires the status of a foreign product and is imported as a processed product, if replacement is allowed, the import of a processed product may outstrip the export of a foreign product for processing).
* In the case of a free warranty repair, the product may be replaced with a new one.
*complexity because documents of foreign states should be issued(certificates of origin, etc.).
*exceptions 2: the customs authority allowed the replacement of the processed product with foreign goods, which, according to the description, technical characteristics and quality, coincides with the goods of the vehicle, only during repair (there may be an advance delivery if the goods for processing are exported by pipeline);
- with advance delivery, a conditional exemption is provided for, payment of export customs duties (direct effect) should be ensured;
- The TS commission determines the goods prohibited under this customs procedure (more than 30 items, mainly raw materials - precious metals, precious stones, leather raw materials, metals);
- it is allowed to place foreign goods under the procedure in two cases: goods conditionally released under the Import 40 procedure with restriction on use - the authorized capital of enterprises with foreign investments - ONLY FOR REPAIR PURPOSES; temporary export - REPAIR only without changing their TS, with changes in the TS it is necessary to change the mode to the processing mode;
- the processing period is 2 years without renewal, from the moment of placement under the customs procedure.

Product status (restrictions on the use or disposal of goods).

When the borders are actually suppressed, the status of the goods as a vehicle’s goods is lost and imported back as foreign goods.

Possible operations with goods:
- processing and processing of goods;
- manufacturing of goods;
- repair.

Completion of the customs procedure.

At the end of the procedure, only one category of goods can be obtained - processed products. Processing products must comply with the products specified in the processing permit.

Importation of processed products must be made before the expiration of the period specified in the processing permit and is possible according to two procedures:
a) re-import - Import 60, without paying import duties, taxes and without applying non-tariff regulation measures - only for gratuitous warranty repairs (mandatory identification) or if operations have not been completed and the goods are imported in unchanged condition;
b) release for domestic consumption - Import 40, all other processing operations, including paid repair, with payment of import customs duties and taxes that are paid at rates applicable to processed products.
The basis for calculating customs duties and VAT is the cost of processing operations. If the cost of processing operations cannot be documented, then the basis for accrual is the difference between the customs value of the processed product and the customs value of the goods exported (import customs duty, taxes on value added).

Excise duty is paid in full in the prescribed manner, with the exception of repairs.

If the goods are not imported on time, it is necessary to change the customs procedure to the export procedure, while the export customs duties, customs value, rates and exchange rates payable are determined on the day of registration according to the Export 21 procedure + bank percentage from the date of placement under the Export 21 procedure.
Result - the product has no restrictions on use on the territory of the vehicle.

Customs procedure re-import - Import 60

Possible term:3 years from the day following the day the goods cross the border of the Russian Federation.

Category of goods that may fall under this procedure:
- during the Export 10 procedure or when returning balances after the processing procedure (there may be difficulties with the tax service, since there is no approved form of the document that must be submitted to the customs authorities if VAT has not been returned, but there is a problem to return the export duty paid);
- when changing the customs procedure before the expiration of the temporary importation period;
- when changing the customs procedure before the expiration of the processing period outside the customs territory, subject to the conditions for the unchanged condition of the goods;
- with a free warranty repair.

Release condition: the export documents are attached to the DT, and the same declarant submits the DT.

It is a special type of customs regime. During its implementation, products of a domestic manufacturer exported from Russian territory are subject to re-import. In this case, the deadlines established by law must be observed. In most cases, there is no deduction of customs duties, taxes, other fees. In addition, harsh economic policies are not applied to these operations. In turn, customs services consider products placed under the regime of re-import released for free circulation.

Reimport is a customs procedure. Accordingly, it is regulated by the Customs Code of the Russian Federation. This procedure is widely used in the implementation of foreign economic operations. This is due to the fact that under certain circumstances it is required to carry out the return import of goods that had previously been exported outside the customs territory of the country. There are two general cases in which it is necessary to re-import goods. It can be both an independent full-fledged procedure, and the final part of any other economic operation.

For example, when exporting products, a Russian company exported certain goods outside the country. He did not go to the other side, for example, due to non-compliance with the terms of the contract. Therefore, I decided to return it. In this case, the Russian exporter must re-import the goods, or re-import them.

If you import pre-exported goods using all customs procedures, then for the exporter it will be economically inexpedient. This is because he will have to pay all customs duties in full. Re-import significantly simplifies and reduces the cost of this procedure, as it does not provide for any customs payments or other fees.

However, when implementing the re-import procedure, it is necessary to refund taxes (and interest thereon) if they were not paid during the initial export of the goods. Such a situation is possible, for example, if there are certain benefits for the export of goods. So, some key Russia are exempt from export duties. However, upon re-import, the Russian exporter loses its privileged position and is obliged to pay customs duties on a common basis.

So, we can conclude that the procedure for re-importing goods is carried out in the absence of re-payment of customs duties and taxes when passing through the customs border of the country.

Under the specialized re-import regime, those goods that were previously placed under other customs regimes may be placed.

The re-import procedure is applied subject to the following cases stipulated by the legislation of the Russian Federation:

Assignment of goods subject to export from Russia, the status of goods for domestic use;

Assignment of goods subject to re-import to the category of goods arising from the processing of foreign products;

Compliance with the deadline for the declaration of goods to apply the re-import regime. It is possible to re-import within three years from the moment that follows the day the goods cross the country's border when they are exported abroad. Such a situation is possible, for example, for a category such as equipment that is used for construction, mining of precious metals, industry, production, etc. In this case, it is necessary to make a request to the head of the relevant customs service simultaneously with the submission of declarations, as well as those documents that confirm the day the products crossed the Russian border.

Finding goods in a condition similar to the moment of export outside the customs territory of the country. The exception is those changes that have occurred due to the natural deterioration of products.

The payment of import customs duties, taxes and other payments, which are mandatory for the return to the budget when re-importing.

It is important to note the fact that if the goods are used outside the country in order to derive economic benefits, this does not prevent them from being placed under the re-import procedure. This does not interfere with the repair, maintenance of goods and other similar operations, allowing you to keep the products in good condition. The exception in this case are: overhaul, modernization, increase in the value of goods.

Separately, a list of those documents that should be submitted to the customs service for the re-import procedure should be indicated. First of all, they should contain information on the circumstances of the initial export of goods. These documents include:

Customs declaration, which was adopted during the export of goods;

Documents confirming the fact of the initial export of goods and at which it took place;

Documentation indicating the moment the goods crossed the border of the customs union;

Information on the repair of goods made abroad of the customs union (if any).

At the same time, the documents indicated above must be submitted to the customs authority no later than one month before the procedure for declaring goods. The maximum term for considering a request is one month. In the event that not all documents required in this case were submitted, the specialized department of customs control within fifteen days sends a notification to the exporter.

The final stage of re-import is the release of goods for domestic use in the country.

Thus, the possibility of re-importing products greatly facilitates the life of exporters.

Declaration of goods at the border: a tourist trip

Declaration of goods: what is it and why does a tourist need it

There is no need to declare a laptop, smartphone or camera (regardless of their cost) if you move them across the border in single copies.

The remaining one percent of tourists are those people who move non-standard things for a vacation trip across the border. Moreover, sometimes these things are quite expensive.

In this case, it is better to declare them upon export, so as not to get problems (the requirement to pay the import duty) upon their return import.

In any case, if in doubt, you can always ( and it is necessary!) ask a question to the customs officer, and they will answer you.

What is the declaration of goods

The word “declaration” comes from the Latin word “declaratio”, which means “uttering, manifesting, detecting [anything]”, and translated from English, the word “declaration” - “declaration” means “announcement, declaration, description”.

It is in this meaning: “declaration, description” and the term “declaration” is used in customs legislation.

That is, the declaration of goods is a description of the established order of goods transported across the state border.

Note for reference:
By “goods” in customs is understood any an item moved across the border, regardless of whether it is a product in the literal sense of the word or not.
All that moves across the border is a commodity.

The declaration of goods transported across the border can be carried out both orally and in writing - by filling out a standard form - a customs declaration.

Basically, when you answer the question of the customs officer: “What do you carry in this bag?” - “Things for personal use” - this is the form of an oral declaration (\u003d description) of goods transported across the border.

And if you put a list of things moving across the border in a standard form (indicating their description, quantity and cost), then this will be a written declaration.

Declaration process goods for personal use - always free. Free everywhere, on any border.

There are two types of goods declaration at border crossings: mandatory and voluntary.

Each state (or union of states) independently determines the groups of goods subject to mandatory declaration when moving across the border.

Therefore, in each individual case, this question (what must be declared when crossing the border) is subject to clarification.

But in principle, the lists of goods requiring mandatory declaration in different countries do not differ much from the list used in the territory of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), which is given below.

In the general case (in all countries), the following are subject to mandatory declaration: weapons, drugs, money in excess of the established limit, jewelry, cultural property and works of art.

Voluntary declaration of goods at border crossings serves as protection against the repeated payment of customs duties for the return import of goods to the country, and also protects against claims for the return export of goods in the case of departure from the country.

Also, you usually need to declare goods transported across the border in commercial lots: if you bring 10 identical cameras with you, for example, it is unlikely that anyone will believe that this is necessary for personal use.

However note that the transport of "commercial" consignments to individuals is not prohibited and not limited. Please carry.

But when exceeding the norms duty free transportation (established for individuals), first pay the import customs duty. And then take it.

BUT pay attention: for certain types of goods, general import standards have been established, i.e. such goods cannot be transported to individuals across the border in an amount exceeding the established norm, even with payment of a duty (for example, alcohol - 5 liters maximum, and a point).

About freight rates - in detail in a note on the link a little higher.

Why do tourists need to declare and whether it is necessary at all

In a general sense, the topic of declaring goods is a rather complicated topic from a legal point of view, but this is if you work as a carrier of goods. If you are a simple tourist, then such a problem for you, as a rule, is not worth it.

Why would a tourist need a written declaration? The declaration of goods when exporting them from the territory of the Russian Federation is necessary in order to avoid the repeated payment of customs duties when importing the same goods into the Russian Federation from abroad (for example, when returning from vacation).

The fact is that most of the goods first imported into the territory of the Russian Federation (and the EAEU in general) are subject to import customs duties.

Moreover, the customs duty for the import of any goods is charged only once - at the very first import of this product into the territory of the state.

In the future (after the import duties have been paid), this product can be imported duty-free into the state an unlimited number of times and in any quantity - this is to remember, this is an important point.

And in order to prove to customs officers that this product is not brought into the territory of the EAEU for the first time (i.e. to prove the fact that this is not the primary import, but the return import of the goods), and it is necessary to declare it upon export.

Otherwise, if you cannot prove that the goods you imported into the Russian Federation were previously exported from its territory, then you may be forced to pay customs duties on the import of this goods.

Part 5 of Art. 266 EAEU Customs Code (quote):

“If the customs authority does not confirm that the goods for personal use ... are imported into the customs territory of the Union after they are temporarily exported from the customs territory of the Union, the procedure for applying customs duties and taxes established by paragraphs 1, 3 and 8 of this article applies to such goods.”

Without payment of customs duty it is allowed to transfer to import across the border of the Russian Federation, Belarus and other countries of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), goods for personal use by weight not more than 25 kg per person, and by total cost not more than 500 euros.

All goods imported with excess of the above norms by weight or value are subject to customs duties in the amount of 30% of the customs value of these goods, but not less than 4 euros per 1 kg.

It should also be noted that the above restrictions apply specifically to goods first imported into the EAEU (i.e. acquired abroad), and to these standards not included goods previously exported from the Russian Federation.

Previously exported goods (as noted above) are not subject to import duties. That is, if you brought with you goods for 20,000 euros and a mass of 150 kg, then you can import them without problems (without paying duties), which is directly stated in the Customs Code.

Part 3 of Art. 266 EAEU Customs Code (quote):

“... the norms of import into the customs territory of the Union goods for personal use in accompanied and (or) unaccompanied baggage are determined excluding used goods for personal use and necessary along the route and destination, the classification criteria to which are determined by the Commission. ... "

That is, what was mentioned above: import regulations limit import newly acquired goods abroad, without taking into account those things that you purchased earlier, and took with you abroad during the trip.

And there is part 5 of Art. 266 EAEU Customs Code (quote):

« Goods for personal use ... imported to the customs territory of the Union after their temporary removal from the customs territory of the Union, imported into the customs territory of the Union without payment of customs duties and taxes regardless of their cost, weight and (or) quantity given that maintaining their unchanged condition, except for changes due to normal wear and tear, as well as changes due to natural loss under normal conditions of carriage (transportation) and (or) storage, and confirmation to the customs authority in the manner established in accordance with paragraph 2 of Article 265 of this Code, the fact that these goods are brought back into the customs territory of the Union after they are temporarily exported from the customs territory of the Union.»

That is, in this case, if questions arise from customs officers, you will have to prove in some way that these goods were not purchased abroad, but were previously exported from the territory of the EAEU. This is where the customs declaration comes in handy.

Let's say the situation: when you were on vacation, you took along a set of diving equipment with a total value of 2300 euros. You also carry a laptop with a cost of 1000 euros and a camera worth 700 euros. All these products are manufactured abroad.

According to the documents (formally), the obligatory declaration of such goods is not required, neither during their export nor during their import.

But if there are no problems when exporting, then when importing (upon returning from vacation), customs officers may pay attention that you are trying to import goods into the EAEU with a total value of 4000 euros, while duty-free import is allowed only for goods with a total costing up to 500 euros per person.

But this is not always the case. This case is taken as an example only. The criteria for determining goods for personal use by customs officers are set out below.

And if you cannot prove at the same time that this is not the first import of this equipment into the territory of the EAEU, then you will be forced to pay a customs duty for the import of this product, in that part that exceeds the cost allowed for duty-free import.

You can only prove the fact of the export of goods (that is, the fact that the goods were not purchased abroad, but was previously exported from the territory of the Russian Federation) by filling out a customs declaration when exporting this product (and preserving it, of course).

You can, of course, try to submit checks and other documents for the goods proving the fact of their purchase not in the territory of the EAEU countries, but the declaration is more reliable for this matter.

What products can be declared

You can declare voluntarily any goods when exporting them abroad. That is, theoretically, you can declare all exported things (including toothbrushes and slippers), be it your will.

But this does not need to be done. The main thing is not to forget to declare goods transported across the border, subject to declaration without fail if you have them (the list is given below).

What products need to be declared voluntarily

From the foregoing, a simple recommendation follows:

When traveling abroad (on vacation, business trip), do not be too lazy to declare obviously expensive and uncharacteristic for most tourists thingsexported outside the territory of the EAEU in order not to get problems and avoid unnecessary questions when they are re-imported.

This is especially important if these things are not transported in single copies, and are not standard for most tourists.

Also, do not forget to bring documents confirming the fact of their acquisition in the territory of the EAEU countries, they may be required when confirming the information specified in the customs declaration.

Documents confirming the information stated in the customs declaration include documents confirming the transaction with goods, and in the absence of such a transaction - other documents confirming the right to possession, use and (or) disposal of goods, as well as other commercial documents available to the applicant.

No need to rush to extremes and declare a complete list of things exported abroad, including underpants and toothbrushes.

It is enough to declare clearly expensive and non-standard for ordinary tourists, things whose value clearly exceeds the rate of duty-free import of goods, or is close enough to it.

Especially, this applies to non-standard products, i.e. to those goods that most people do not take on vacation, for example, bicycles, diving equipment or climbing equipment, parachuting equipment, etc., as well as to expensive goods transported across the border not in a single amount.

For example, if you carry with you one smartphone, one camera, one notebook, alone Patek Philippe watches, etc., then they do not need to be declared, regardless of their value. You will be believed at the entrance that it is a product for personal use.

But if you bring with you two or three professional cameras and six to eight lenses to them (photographers will understand), or a collection of expensive watches, for example, then, in this case, it is better to declare the export of these goods so as not to get problems when entering.

If you go back to the example above (with diving equipment, a laptop and a camera), then if their removal was declared, then for the import of all other things at the entrance, you will have the same limit for duty-free import: 500 euros or 25 kg of goods.

The rule to declare exported goods is especially necessary to observe if from the country temporarily some really expensive and not typical for most tourists equipment is exported: bicycles, equipment for diving, climbing, parachuting, etc. - that is, what is really quite expensive, andespecially if these goods are not exported in single copies.

Also necessary declare trailers and other equipment. If you suddenly take your favorite ATV on vacation on a trailer, these goods will need to be declared. However, the customs officers will tell you about this, for this is all in plain sight.

If you have doubts about the need to declare a particular product in order to avoid problems with its re-entry into the territory of the EAEU, please contact any customs officer.
They will tell you exactly: is it worth it or not.

If you do not carry across the border in commodity quantities If nothing is obviously super-expensive and non-standard for ordinary tourism, then you can not even bother with the issue of declaring. You definitely don't need this.

I bring with me an expensive camera (even two) and a laptop, and, of course, a smartphone, and I never declared them in my life, and there have never been problems. But just in case (if you have any questions), I always have documents for them (checks) in my laptop bag and camera case.

The customs may also have questions if one person is traveling in the car, but ten bags are traveling with him. Here, yes, customs officers can check: is there an excess of permissible norms of duty-free transportation of goods by weight? In all other cases, unnecessary questions do not arise.

By the way, the declaration of goods also works in the opposite direction.

For example, you know that from such a country duty-free export of Nikon cameras purchased in this country is prohibited (well, let's say, for some reason, it doesn’t matter, everything is forbidden).

And you have just “Nikon”, and you are going to this country on vacation. How to avoid problems (payment of customs duty for the export of goods) upon departure? Obviously, it is necessary at the entrance to declare the import of this product in writing.

Then, upon departure, customs officers are presented with a declaration stating that this camera was not purchased in this country, but was previously imported into it from abroad. In this case, there are no problems with the duty-free export of this product.

But ordinary tourists, as a rule, do not need this.

Below (under the cut) is Article 265 of the EAEU Customs Code, for those who like officialdom.

Temporary export by individuals of goods for personal use

Article 265 of the EAEU Customs Code -

1. Temporary export from the customs territory of the Union by individuals of goods for personal use, which are goods of the Union, for the period of their temporary stay outside the customs territory of the Union.

2. According to the application of the individual, the customs authority identifies temporarily exported goods for personal use, if such identification will facilitate their return to the customs territory of the Union without paying customs duties and taxes.

The identification of goods for personal use is indicated in the passenger customs declaration, one copy of which is handed over to an individual who is temporarily exporting such goods from the customs territory of the Union.

Lack of such identification (i.e. customs declaration) does not prevent re-entry to the customs territory of the Union by individuals for goods for personal use without payment of customs duties and taxes subject to confirmation in the manner established by the legislation of the Member States on customs regulation to the customs authority that these goods are imported back into the customs territory of the Union after they are exported from the customs territory of the Union.

That is, in principle, you can, of course, not fill out the declaration, but then you need confirmation that the goods are imported after its temporary export (in case the customs officers have doubts about this).

This confirmation, in principle, can serve as checks, bills, service books and other documents confirming that this product was purchased on the territory of the Union. But best of all, just fill out a declaration.

Re-import of goods for personal use without declaration of export

What to do if you did not declare the goods upon departure (i.e. when exporting them outside the customs territory)? How do customs officers distinguish previously exported goods from newly imported goods in the absence of a declaration?

Very simple: according to the appearance of the product (signs of wear), the lack of factory packaging, labels. The frequency of crossing the border by the person importing the goods, seasonality, purpose of the trip and other factors are also taken into account.

The following is an excerpt from an official document that speaks about how the rules for importing goods for personal use by customs representatives are determined:

The norms for importing goods for personal use into the customs territory of the EAEU are determined excluding used goods for personal use and necessary along the route and (or) destination, based on the following criteria:

generally accepted (traditional) practice of using along the route and (or) destination, including taking into account seasonality, purpose of the trip, type of transport, frequency of crossing the customs border of the Eurasian Economic Union;

What was mentioned above:
"Traditional practice" - if a tourist carries an electric kettle with him - this is normal, if a coffee machine - it may cause unnecessary questions when importing again;
“Taking into account seasonality” - if you import a fur coat (or skis) in the summer, you will not be believed that you exported this product a week ago when you checked out.
This does not mean that it is impossible to smuggle in a fur coat - it is possible, but it will not come off for previously exported things in the summer (and in the winter it will come off if the labels are cut), and its cost and weight will be taken into account within the allowed limits for duty-free import.
“Border crossing frequencies” is one thing when a person crosses the border once a year, or once every few months, another thing when he does it every other day - there will be a different approach for customs officers.

signs of wear (including scratches, dents, other mechanical damage), washing, other use;

Can I bring two smartphones or two cameras with me without declaration? Yes Easy! But the customs officer, when evaluating these things during the return import, should see that these things were really used (that is, second-hand things), and not new, but only without packaging.

the absence of tags, labels, labels, primary packaging, including those moved separately, with the exception of packaging damaged in a way that precludes the restoration of its original condition in an economically viable way;

Can I bring 10 pairs of identical jeans and 20 t-shirts? No problem, if they cost and weight fit into the norms of duty-free transportation (however, shuttles already know this, but this has nothing to do with tourism).
And if they don’t fit, then you can also carry it, passing them off as things for personal use, but then they should not be in the factory packaging (and this packaging should not be next to the baggage), be without labels, stickers, etc.
In addition, these items must have signs of wear (see paragraph above). Then, in principle, they will believe you that these are goods for personal use that you exported earlier.

import in a single or other quantity necessary for the generally accepted (traditional) practice of using such goods, including taking into account seasonality, purpose of the trip, type of transport, objective need for the route and (or) destination.

What was said: one camera, one laptop, one tablet, one watch (even expensive) - will not cause unnecessary questions when they are re-imported, regardless of their total cost.
Many tourists carry these things in exactly this quantity. This is normal, it does not attract attention.
But three laptops or four smartphones, for example, (and even the same brand), do not fit the definition of "generally accepted practice of using such a product."
Well, most people do not carry two (especially three) identical laptops with them on a tourist trip.
Therefore, if you really need to export them, it is better to declare their temporary export, then there will not be any problems and unnecessary questions with the return import.

Goods subject to mandatory declaration at the EAEU border crossing

In the general case, the vast majority of goods for personal use, transported across the border by individuals, are not subject to mandatory declaration. However, for some products, declaration is required.

According to the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation, when crossing the customs border of the Eurasian Economic Union on automobile vehicles, the following goods are subject to mandatory customs declaration (passenger customs declaration is filled out and movement is carried out through the red corridor):

1. Vehicles for personal use, with the exception of vehicles registered in the territory of the EAEU member states, temporarily exported and re-imported into such territory;

This item only applies to vehicles registered out of territories of the EAEU countries. Cars registered in the Russian Federation, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan do not need to be declared when crossing the border.

That is, if you enter or leave the Russian Federation on a car registered in the Russian Federation or in one of the EAEU countries, you will not be forced to declare it, and if you do not have other goods to be declared, you can move through the "green corridor".

If you travel abroad by a car with foreign license plates (and plan to return there later, that is, take it out temporarily), then you must declare its pick-up.

The same is true when entering the territory of the EAEU countries by a car with foreign registration. At the entrance, declare a "temporary import", and move through the "red" corridor.

However, the car is a noticeable thing, the customs officers will tell you that already (they will not keep silent).

2. Imported goods whose customs value exceeds 500 euros in equivalent and (or) the total weight of which exceeds 25 kg;

Here I recall that these standards apply only to goods purchased abroad and first imported to the territory of the EAEU countries, excluding previously exported by you (and imported back) goods for personal use.

I also draw attention to the fact that in fact there are no general norms for the transport of goods for personal use. There are norms duty free carriage.

And all that exceeds them is simply transported with the payment of a fee, and, possibly (if necessary), with the presentation of additional documents (certificates, permits, etc. papers). (Actually, for some types of goods, but there are not many such goods).

If you want / decide to declare expensive goods (the same laptop, or some kind of tourist equipment, for example), then check “Yes” in section 3.5 on the front side and on the back, in section 4 enter information about these products: description , quantity, cost.

The number of positions in paragraph 2.1 of the declaration must coincide with the number of positions specified in paragraph 4 (on the back).

That is, if you are carrying, for example, two bags with personal belongings and a laptop, and suddenly decide to declare a laptop, then in field 2.1 indicate “Accompanied baggage -“ yes ”, number of seats -“ 1 ”(one, not three ), in the box 3.5 put a mark “Yes”, and then in box 4 describe your laptop.

And you will declare the movement of bags with personal belongings verbally, because personal belongings are not mandatory for written declaration (as was repeatedly mentioned above).

If you are moving across the border goods that are subject to compulsory declaration, then mark the field “Yes” in paragraph 3.4, and also in field 4 (on the back) indicate data on these goods.

In this case, it will be necessary to present all the accompanying and permits for the movement of these goods - i.e. comply with the rules for moving goods across the border.

Fill out the declaration in a relaxed atmosphere, print it out, and simply present it upon arrival at the checkpoint. After reconciling the list of declared goods with the goods actually transported, the customs officer will certify it, and keep your copy until the end of the trip.

Even if you accidentally make a couple of mistakes when filling out the declaration at home, then the rules allow their correction in the form, certified by the seal and signature of the customs officer.

But in the general case, if you are traveling as a simple tourist, then you should not have problems with declaring, in principle.

And the topic of declaring the goods, you not applicable (maybe, with the exception of the declaration of really expensive sports or tourist equipment, if you have it, as mentioned above).

If you don’t have anything special (subject to declaration) with you, then the “green” corridor is your right choice. If something is declared, then only the “red” corridor.

If there are any (at least some) doubts about the need to declare any product - it is better to always check with the customs officers, they will be happy to tell you.

Features of filling out a customs declaration when traveling in transit to Kaliningrad

This part of the note is taken from the comments and written from the words of the person (reader) who actually performed the move (and the transportation of a mass of personal items, including expensive and non-standard) to Kaliningrad, that is, is a description of the practical experience of the trip.

There are no great features of filling out a declaration when making a trip to Kaliningrad by land transport across the territory of the EU countries. Nevertheless, I will go over those points that are not discussed above.

So, a word to the reader:

“From which country” and “to which country” we write “Russia” - “Russia”. The word "transit" does not need to be written anywhere.
The number of positions in clause 4 is the same as in clause 2.1
The declaration is executed in two copies in Russian and only for “export”. (When you leave Russia and enter Europe).
When you enter the territory of the Kaliningrad region, customs officers will simply pick it up from you and you can go further, BUT ...
If you plan on importing things into the Kaliningrad region later and returning to the territory of Russia, then you need to issue the exact same declaration only for “import”, then it will remain in your hands and then it must be presented when you bring things back .
/ Here I did not understand the "maneuver" (or, perhaps, the person did not understand the customs officers correctly).
In theory, why draw up a declaration of "import"? Sense something?
Well, you’ll leave, also apply for a customs declaration for the “export” of goods from Russia, only at the Kaliningrad customs, so that later you can show it somewhere on the Russian or Belarusian border when importing it to the “mainland”.
But the customs officers know better, and you yourself can clarify with them this moment when you need it, so I leave it as the author of the comment pointed out.
If the goods have checks, invoice, etc. take it with you.
After crossing the Russian border in Shumilkino, Estonian customs officers looked with curiosity at my new shtorez and mounting gun, which shone directly in the sun, but my stories about the fact that I used them, they just survived well, for some reason they rolled. But in extreme cases, I had an invoice in which the numbers of customs documents were indicated for the first import into Russia from Germany.
To the Lithuanian customs officers (at the entrance to Kaliningrad) it seemed generally violet that I was taking and where. They asked with a smile only one thing at the sight of the spinning that accidentally ended up on top in the trunk “Are you going fishing?”))
/ Well, with the Lithuanians, by the way, it’s clear. Because, as a rule, restrictions on the export of goods are much weaker than on import, and therefore it was “violet”.
Kaliningrad customs officers had to be afraid, so that they would not have any questions (but the person had a declaration of export, so they had no questions).
Estonian and Lithuanian customs officers did not require any declarations / temporary declarations. At the word “Kaliningrad” all questions were dropped.

Use other people's experience, if necessary. This is sometimes useful.

On this, a note on the issues of declaring goods when crossing the border for tourism: why do we need to declare, what should be declared, when to declare, etc. questions, I will finish.

Hello. It is a car registered in Kazakhstan, do not need to be declared?

Hello!
Although I live 90 km from the border with Kazakhstan, I have never gone there by car.
Therefore, I can’t say exactly about Kazakhstan, from my own experience.
But since Kazakhstan is a member of the EAEU, then with a high degree of probability I will say no. Not necessary.
And if I suddenly make a mistake (which is unlikely, but ...), then the border guards (when you get to the border) will correct me by handing you a declaration form and indicating the need to fill it out.
But if that happens, then it’s not scary.
The form is completed in 2 minutes. And another 2 minutes a second (same exact) form.

orenburg is 500 km from us, almost neighbors (Kustanai region)))), I’m going on November 1, I plan to call through Domachevo (I want to go at night), and immediately to Venice (more precisely, in Mestre)

In Mestre I lived in a campsite (but in a bungalow, not in a car).
It was a very good option.
Two minutes to a stop and 10 minutes by bus to Venice.
Are you planning to go through the Czech Republic - Austria, or through Slovakia - Hungary - Slovenia?
In any case, do not forget about the vignettes.

czech Republic-Austria, with an intermediate stop has not yet decided

can spend the night in Brno?

If Domachevo pass at night, then I dare to recommend Helm or Zamosc.
Then from Chelm about 100 km (from Zamosc - about 60 km) to the exit to the A-4 highway in the region of Przeworsk, and then whistling, almost all along the highways to Venice.
With one leap - completely (I don’t know, really, your capabilities). 14 hours - and you are there.
I do not recommend the road Lublin - Rzeszow - loaded.
Better press east, through Helm, Zamosc, as mentioned above.
I recommend Domachevo to pass only in the dead of night, from 1 to 3 nights.
This year I arrived there at 5 in the morning, and lost 5 hours at the border (it passed only at 10 in the morning).
After a night on the road, it was hard. (The Poles are terribly slow).
Although, you will go in November, there shouldn’t be such a stream (I was traveling at the peak of the season, I crossed the border on July 9).
They look at Domachevo meticulously enough at the entrance (on the way back) - do not greatly exceed the norm (alcohol and all that).

Do you need a translation of the registration certificate? We have Russian-Kazakh, unlike rights

Technical passport - does this mean a certificate of registration of the vehicle?
If your name and surname are duplicated in it in Latin letters (as we have in the Russian Federation), and the word "VIN" is written in Latin letters in it, then no, it is not needed.

AND! Yet.
On this document it should be written (duplicated) in French that it is “Certificat d’Immatriculation”.
Well, so that the border guards and customs officers do not have any questions what kind of document.
And if the Kazakh certificate is similar to Russian, then there will be no problems, they are already used to ours.
Anyway, the Poles at that post are quite fluent in the Russian language (they have such a life), therefore, they will figure it out.

Vignettes (immediately Czech and Austrian) I recommend (I bought there this year).
This is in Poland, before entering the Czech Republic, a British Petroleum refueling station.
There you can (and need) to refuel to full (in Poland, fuel is cheaper than the further).
Well, of course, in Austria, you should plan a full refueling, in front of the border with Italy (fuel is even more expensive there), somewhere in the region of Villach.
For vignettes, of course, overpay a little (euros, commercials, 7-8 or so), but then you can already go around the Czech Republic and Austria without unnecessary stops. Although this is at your discretion.
Do not forget to enter the number of the car in the Czech vignette (i.e. fill it in, including the spine).
There will be questions - ask.

Yes, all the inscriptions are present))). Found a point. Green card on hand. Sims for the Internet Ortel came. I've never been to Europe. I traveled a lot in Russia. I plan to stay a month. Czech visa ... I will be in Prague for 3 days))) Czech hotel reservations. It seems to have forgotten nothing

I want to go from Domachevo to Mestre, I can’t take 1500 km ... from 12 at night it will be hard to go all day, so I want to spend the night closer to Brno, I need to be in Mestre the next day, discard your vac, if not against, you need to ask a couple of questions

Hello. What to write in “which country are you following” if I am traveling from Russia to Kaliningrad. It turns out from "Russia" to "Russia"?

Hello, Alexey!
Firstly, right away, until I forgot: use the new form of the customs declaration (this is a link to the official website of the Customs Service of the Russian Federation). It is valid from January 1 of this year (in the note, I also corrected the links).

For your own question, I will quote from the Rules:
"23.3. Clause 1 of the declaration shall contain information about the declarant, details of the identity document of the declarant, name of the country of departure and country of destination, address of the place of stay (residence) in the territory of a Member State of the Union. ”

This is from the official rules for filling out the declaration (see Section 2.1. The procedure for filling out the main declaration form when placing goods under the customs procedure of customs transit), again on the official website of the Customs Union of the Russian Federation (scroll down a bit).

So yes, in theory, "Russia" - "Russia".
But you don’t check the “entry” and “exit” boxes; instead, write there (next to) just the word “transit”.
Read the rules, no one will tell you better than the customs officers (I won’t tell you for sure, this is their clearing).

But you understand, there is such a moment that these rules may apply to those who transit goods through the territory of Russia, and not across the EU (the Rules do not specify this point).
May be so. I do not know. I have never contacted transit, so I can’t say for sure.

But you can do it in a simple way.
Indicate the country where you are leaving (exporting goods) from Russia: Latvia (or Estonia, for example, I do not know your route).
How is this not done in transit trips.
Those. if the border crosses with Latvia, then write “Latvia”.
There will be no big mistake.

You declare the export of goods (your personal belongings) to the EU for the purpose, obviously, then to bring them back to the territory of the Russian Federation without duty.
When importing this product into the territory of the Kaliningrad region from the territory of Lithuania or Poland (if the customs have questions about its origin), the declaration will prove the fact that this product was previously exported to the EU from Russia (and therefore, when it is re-imported into the territory of the Russian Federation payment of customs duties is not required), but not bought by you in the EU.
The same goes for the return route.
When leaving the Kaliningrad region, fill out the declaration, goods in transit will pass through the EU and will be imported duty-free into the Russian Federation.

But the best solution would be be sure to clarify this point with customs officers at the borderby telling them about their plans.
In order not to mess up inadvertently.
They will tell you everything in detail, do not even hesitate.

In order not to lose time at the border, you can prepare two versions of the declaration in advance (both for transit and just for temporary export) and use the one that they tell you (they consider it right).

Or google this question additionally.
Nevertheless, the declaration of goods is not the main theme of this site.
Rather, concomitant.

Thank. So I’ll do it, I’ll print a few declarations (also in Russian and in English just in case). And at customs I ask what form they like, they will stamp it. Fortunately, there is an electronic form and print at least 100 times. When I come I will definitely share my experience. Despite the fact that the declaration of goods is not the main topic of the site, your article is the most useful !!! Thank you very much.

Alexei! In Russian and English - it will be superfluous. Do not translate paper.
It will be enough in just in Russian. I’m saying this for sure.
And all the same, it seems to me that an ordinary declaration (not a transit one) will suffice.
Because ... because it is simply enough to confirm the fact of export of goods from the Russian Federation.
And nothing more is needed in order to carry out the import of goods without having to pay the duty again (this is referred to smartly as “reverse import”).
But do two options, yes. Fortunately, this is not difficult.
Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V - allow you to solve this problem in a matter of seconds.
And be sure to check your question when crossing the border.
They don’t take money for demand. I checked it.
:)

And by the way, if it's not a secret, what are you going to declare?
If the camera with a laptop (even expensive), then no need.
I checked it on myself.
Here is my camera and a set of lenses and other things worth much more than 1000 euros.
Plus a laptop. Plus a smartphone (also expensive) ... well, things are different.
Even according to old standards (up to 1,500 euros) - there was much more than this amount.
All this does not cause any questions if it moves in single copies (and, especially, with signs of wear / tear) - it is checked.
The main thing - do not bring them in the factory boxes / packaging (this will cause thoughts and questions from the customs).
Well, if really something serious and non-standard for most tourists (some kind of tourist equipment: a boat there, or a parachute, or something else like that), yes.
You need to play it safe against stupid questions.
Although by the rules, of course, you can declare anything, even toothbrushes ...

Thanks for the tips. I am moving to permanent residence in Kaliningrad, by type of activity I am engaged in construction and repairs, and I bring tools with me for a total cost of about 700 thousand rubles. It is also planned to work in St. Petersburg, so I want to declare everything so that I can easily import into the territory of the Kaliningrad region. and, if necessary, take back to St. Petersburg.

Well, in your case, yes, definitely declare.
I do not know yet how that side (through which the transportation will be carried out) will react.
It may also be necessary to declare imported goods there, and indicating that "for the purpose of transit."
But it is necessary to ask them, and specifically.
And certainly.
Everyone knows Russian there - you’ll figure it out, they will tell you.
Those. when exporting goods from Russia, you declare of our customs officers temporary export (at the entrance to Kaliningrad, declare the return import).
And when importing goods into Latvia (Lithuania, Estonia - I do not know how you plan), you may need to declare eU border guards temporary import of goods, and at the exit from Lithuania, respectively - return export.
Somehow, if I do not confuse the terms (I'm still a simple tourist, and I do not really need this).
Because there may be questions.
Definitely ask this question both to our customs officers and foreign when you will leave.
And definitely the “red corridor” (if it is provided at the post where you will cross the border).
However, the presence of a declaration automatically implies a "red corridor", maybe you already know that.
Declarations yes, you need to prepare in advance, it will pay off.
Because even if you mess with them accidentally in advance preparation, then if you have to rewrite them at customs, all numbers, names will be at your fingertips (in an already completed declaration).
It’s easier to rewrite the finished one than to re-compose and frantically search by rummaging in boxes and bags: “where the hell is .., this drill has a serial number ...” (well, for example).
Good luck!

With a little delay I tell my experience of a trip to Kaliningrad with the declaration of goods. They left Russia via Shumilkino, and entered the Kaliningrad region in Sovetsk. A declaration was prepared and printed in advance. So, the facts:
1. “From which country” and “to which country” do we write Russia-Russia. The word "transit" does not need to be written anywhere.
2. The number of positions in clause 4 is the same as in clause 2.1
3. The declaration is drawn up in two copies in Russian, one and only for “export”. (When you leave Russia and enter Europe). Upon entering the territory of the Kaliningrad region, it will simply be taken away by customs officers and you can go further, BUT .......
4. If you plan to import things into the Kaliningrad Region later and take them back to the territory of Russia, then you need to issue the exact same declaration only for “import”, then it will remain in your hands and then it must be presented when you export it things back.
5. Customs officers in Sovetsk are much stricter than in Shumilkino. There are stricter rules. For example, in Shumilkino I calmly made 3 corrections to the declaration with the signature and seal of a customs officer, in Sovetsk they looked like an idiot. But in general, they are all calm and adequate guys, explained to me everything that was needed.
6. If there are checks on the goods, invoice, etc. take it with you. After crossing the Russian border in Shumilkino, Estonian customs officers curiously looked at my new shtorez and mounting gun, which shone directly in the sun, but my stories about the fact that I already used them, they just survived for some reason. But in extreme cases, I had an invoice in which the numbers of customs documents were indicated for the first import into Russia from Germany.
7. To Lithuanian customs officers it seemed generally violet what I was taking and where. They asked with a smile only one thing at the sight of the spinning, which accidentally ended up on top in the trunk “Are you going fishing?”))))))))
8. No one anywhere and never once compared what is written in the declaration with what was in the trunk. That is, the main thing is the documents, and what are you taking there ... no one bothered.
9. Estonian and Lithuanian customs officers did not require any declarations / temporary declarations. At the word “Kaliningrad” all questions were dropped.
Ask questions good to all trips.

Hello, Alexey!
I am very glad that everything went well with you.
To ask customs officers questions is a sacred matter, this should be done without hesitation if there are at least some “misunderstandings” so that later there are no questions for you (which I immediately told you about, and I write this everywhere in the notes). Because no one can know the customs rules better than people who work in this area.
That things did not look in detail - write it down on your account. This means that your appearance, conversation and behavior did not cause unnecessary questions and suspicions among employees. And their eyes are set on such things, anyway. Therefore, the attitude was loyal. Incidentally, they rarely inspect me in detail (pah-pah), because I can clearly see: "typical tourist" (not a "shuttle", not a smuggler, etc.). As Vysotsky sang at the time: "... weak interest for customs." So ... an external inspection of the trunk (without opening the bags), a quick look into the interior - and forth.
I’ll think a little and, perhaps, a little later, I can put the main meaning of your comment into the body of the note, I think it will be useful to many, but few get to reading the comments.
Thanks for the info.

And thank you again for the article. On the vast expanses of the vast Internet, only this material helped me do everything right. Neither official sites, nor calls to the “hot line” brought any practical benefit. One theory, official language and water, water, water ....
Good luck and new travels)))

Good afternoon)) I would like to receive an answer or at least some reasonable explanation to my question - is it possible to transport a large amount of luggage across the border by car (in May this year our children moved to Germany and now we are going to visit them in our car loaded to the "eyeballs" with their personal things: clothes, shoes, books, sewing / embroidery equipment (designer daughter), etc. - all things are used) and how to do it (in several rounds, through green or red corridor or is it impossible at all)? We are traveling together with my husband, the total weight of luggage far exceeds 50 kg. per person. Conversely, of course, these things will no longer exist (only our personal things will remain). Interested in the Belarus / Poland border. I would be grateful for any information))

Hello, Alena!
Since my blog is nevertheless dedicated to the implementation of tourist trips, I can not give you a concrete and comprehensive answer.
I wrote all my thoughts on this subject to your e-mail (if you correctly indicated the e-mail when filling out the comment form, you will receive a letter from me).
If you have not received the letter, then write to me through your correct address, and I will resend it to you.

Hello! The first time I am going abroad and I am extremely interested in the question of the need for a declaration. Until recently, I was going to bring at least 10 books and the same number of graphic novels from Japan for personal use, but I recently learned that more than three products of the same type (it seems like even if all the books are different) can be recognized as a commercial party. Will a declaration be necessary in this case, and will it help at all? Or is it better to simply abandon the idea of \u200b\u200bimporting so many goods?

Hello Albert!

> i recently learned that more than three products of the same type (it seems like even if all the books are different) can be recognized as a commercial party
That is, if I drive three t-shirts (different) across the border, is this a commercial party?
I doubt very much, you know ...
The key phrase in your sentence is “sort of like”.
What does “kind of like” mean, what is the source of your information?

I somehow think that 10 different books cannot be a consignment in any way (if this is not a multi-volume collection, that is, more than one publication).
10 identical - maybe, but what's the difference?

(I remember, once the Soviet encyclopedia in 33 volumes drove across the border - there were questions, but more to the fact that the publication is old, and, they say, does it have any historical value, etc., and then, by the way , I also heard that you can’t export more than three volumes, you need permission. Well, there was export, and you have import, so ...)

But what does the “commercial party" have to do with it?
In principle, there are no restrictions on the transport of “commercial parties” for individuals.

For individuals there is duty free import norms by weight / value of imported goods (to the territory of the Russian Federation, and the EAEU in general).
If these standards are not exceeded - bring what you want, at least a commercial party, at least not a commercial one.

If the norms are exceeded, then for the goods that are imported over the norm restrictions (price or weight), you will have to pay an import duty in the amount of 30% of its value, and please bring ...
I do not know other restrictions.

That is, the question here is more about the price of books.
If the total cost of imported products exceeds the rate of duty-free import, then in part of the excess will have to pay the import duty.
If not, then import to health, you have the right.

Therefore, I urge you to think about the source of your information.
If you have any official information (for example, from the website of the Customs Service of the Russian Federation, of which I doubt it), this is one thing worth considering.
If you just read it somewhere on the forums - spit and forget.

I will tell you the right way.
When you leave, (go to Japan), please contact a customs representative (ours) with these questions.
Do not be afraid and do not be shy, you should always talk with customs officers if you have any doubts.
Ask, they will answer.
Directly ask the employee: “I want to bring from Japan 20 books (different), what are the restrictions?”.
Most likely, he will tell you about these norms: 500 euros (or in yen the amount will be called) / 25 kg, the rest - with the payment of a fee.
And that’s all.
You can ask him a couple of clarifying (exciting you) questions (so that the soul was calm).
But as I see it, there are no problems and is not expected with these books.

> Will a declaration be necessary in this case, and will it help at all?
The declaration will help to avoid problems if the total cost of books exceeds the allowed rate for the cost of goods for duty-free import.
Then, (to act honestly) the goods must be declared, and, accordingly, move it across the border with the payment of import duties.
But if you do not declare it, and if the customs officers figure out that the norms are exceeded (the cost of books is more than the norm), then pay both the fee and the fine.

So, just do not pick up books worth more than the duty-free rate.
And checks when you buy books, be sure to save.
They will be an official confirmation of the cost of books (if the customs have questions about this topic).

Somehow I see the situation like this.

Good afternoon! Do not tell me, if I declared goods for export, then on which corridor should I return? Red or green? I plan to declare prof. photo and video equipment including a quadrocopter.

Hello, Victor!
The general rule is one: there is a declaration (there is something to declare) - your corridor is “red”.
There are no options.
If at the check-out you declare a “temporary export” of goods, then at the check-in you will have to declare its “reverse import”.
In any case, there is a declaration - to you in the red corridor.
But I advise you: take along documents for exported equipment (they will still come in handy if you will declare goods), and when leaving, before declaring exported goods, talk to customs officers explaining the situation to them. It may well turn out that you don’t have to bother with the declaration and for the return import it will be enough documents proving the purchase of goods on the territory of the EAEU.
Neither they nor you need this (fuss with papers is superfluous).
They do not take money for demand, and they will not refuse a brief consultation.
Well, if there is a declaration, then in "red".

PS I don’t know what country you are going to fly with, but be sure to “dig into” the topic of using quadrocopters in this country more deeply. The legislation of some countries is not as loyal to quadrocopters as Russian.

Good afternoon, tell me, please, we are going from Moscow to Greece for permanent residence, since we stopped in October and we had to leave in early December to buy winter tires. In addition, we carry personal items, organole, guitar, clothes, shoes, chandeliers, tools, all used. Will the wheels come in a weight of 50 kg?

Hello Irina!
I do not quite understand the essence of your question.
Of course, EVERYTHING that moves across the border is taken into account.
But look, as I understand it, your situation is as follows: you lived in Greece, issued a residence permit (or citizenship) there, and in October we stopped in Russia to pick up things in order to transport them to Greece, right?
If so, then there are no problems with the mass (or cost) of things being moved across the border.
There are no restrictions on the export of goods from the Russian Federation. Restrictions are only on the import of goods and only those that were purchased during a trip abroad. There it is - 25 kg / 500 euros, all that is above this norm - pay the customs duty for import.
And for export ... yes, take out at least KAMAZ with a trailer. Is free.
Another thing is that things exported from the Russian Federation, you will then need to be imported into the EU. And there they have their own requirements and limitations.
But, since you are now EU citizens (or have a residence permit, which is roughly the same), here you can also not expect any problems if you are not bringing a consignment of goods for sale, namely your personal used things .
In more detail, you can read the link. True, I have a travel blog, and in general, such issues (moving) are not considered much here, but nevertheless read, maybe you will learn something useful for yourself.
And if I did not guess your situation, then write (here, or in PM) what your specific situation is (in which direction you are going to move things), I will try to answer within my capabilities.

Thank you very much for the prompt reply, you correctly understood our situation.

Good evening! Asked a question about declaring .... rode to Finland by car. It was a quest. In general, on the road, when declaring a quadric, the human factor works in full from ignorance of the issue (“this is espionage equipment, you shouldn’t take it out” or “let us not declare it so that we don’t have any headaches”) up to 10-15 minutes for processing and verification serial numbers. True, by car you go anyway through the green corridor, but for Eurosports, as directed by the customs officer. And taking documents with you is a must. Prior to declaring the drone, I carried documents with me (as evidence of the acquisition of the drone in Russia), but now with the introduction of registration without them, nowhere. And for reference on the topic of quadrics: Russian law is one of the most unsuccessful and inefficient in relation to quadrocopters
