Carriers will have to provide RF customs stations with preliminary information
The Federal Customs Service prepared amendments to the Custom Code of the Russian Federation about the compulsory preliminary informing of imported and exported goods, RZD-Partner refers to www.global-port.ru.
Now the electronic information about the cargo will be received by the customs stations not later than one hour prior to the goods and transport’s arrival.
In case of non-providing the compulsory preliminary information the goods will be subject to immediate removal from the customs stations of the Russian Federation. If there is not a possibility of removing the goods will be placed into temporary warehouses at the expense of the cargo carriers. Storage time limit will be seventy-two hours.
At this moment using the preliminary customs informing system is not compulsory, for not all customs stations are upgraded with the necessary equipment.
