Until recently, delaying the temporary import of a car could be absolutely painless for the car owner. Payment of a small fine is all the required punishment. This issue was resolved at any convenient customs checkpoint that had the appropriate competence. From January 1, 2015, stricter rules will come into effect to reduce the flow of temporarily imported vehicles, which will make it easier to identify offenders among their owners. Violation of the temporary import of a car will be fraught with a large fine (up to 300 thousand rubles), confiscation of the car, or the obligation to fully pay customs duties and recycling fees. The Customs Code of the Customs Union requires that you contact the customs authority within 15 days after the end of the period specified in the PCD (Passenger Customs Declaration). If due to reasons beyond your control it is impossible to contact the customs authority, you must provide the relevant information to customs officers. Otherwise, absence within the specified period will be regarded as a delay in temporary import. Punishment is imposed individually, depending on the specific situation. The most unpleasant thing that can happen is the confiscation of the vehicle.

Fine for overdue temporary import in 2015 will range from 60,000 to 300,000 rubles. In addition to paying a hefty fine for overdue temporary importation, you will have to face great difficulties in extending the deadline. To the point where you will need to leave the territory of the Customs Union (and from January 1, 2015, the EAEU) and enter again. Moreover, the maximum period of temporary import is only 3 months. Documents are considered very scrupulously and meticulously. For any, even the most minor offense (for example, an unpaid fine for violating traffic rules or violating the visa regime), temporary import of a car may be denied. The slightest mistake in the documents or an incorrectly filled out application can also result in a refusal of temporary import.

Features of import and export of vehicles

This is considered temporary importation of goods. After this period, the transport must either be cleared through customs or exported outside the country. By the way, if a Russian leaves the state by car, then he must return by car. This clause is provided for in the obligation to re-import goods. Failure to comply is also punishable by an administrative fine. In addition, your vehicle may be confiscated and sent to a parking lot.

Violation of temporary import deadlines

Is it possible to extend the period of import and export of transport? Violation of the terms of temporary import and export of a car sometimes happens through no fault of the owner. For example, this may be the case if, at the time when it is necessary to cross the border, the car breaks down, has an accident, or simply burns out. As a rule, car owners, due to ignorance of the laws, simply go with the flow in the hope that the situation will resolve itself. But you shouldn't do this. It is better to write a statement addressed to the head of the customs office where you filled out the passenger customs declaration, and attach documents confirming the fact that the vehicle faulty or burnt out.

By the way, according to the law, you can contact the customs authority within 15 days after the temporary import of a car or its export has expired. However, there is no need to delay. It is better to settle all formalities in advance. If you were unable to do this on your own or the violation of the terms of temporary import and export is quite significant, then enlist the support of a professional.

In the 90s, driving a car from Europe was commonplace. With changes in customs legislation, this tradition lost its former popularity. The whole point is high customs duties on cars, which are comparable to its total cost. In this way, the state supports the domestic automaker and attracts investment into the country.

Foreign cars are still imported into Russia, but often temporarily. This method allows you to save on customs duties. However, the period of such import is limited by law. But first things first. After reading our article, you will learn about all the cars and the amount of payment for it. We will also tell you how to register this at customs.

Regulatory regulation

Before driving a car to Russia, you need to familiarize yourself with the content of the following legal acts:

• Customs Code of the Eurasian Union, which unites several countries - Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan. Article 264 of this document precisely establishes the rules for the temporary import of vehicles into the territory of the Union.
• decision of the Customs Union Commission of 2010 with subsequent amendments and additions on customs operations with temporarily imported items for personal use.
• will be useful and Instructions for filling out a customs declaration. It was also approved by the Commission of the Customs Union. Its text tells in detail, for each column of the declaration, what and how to write. With its help you can easily fill out customs documents.
• customs classifiers. Of these, you will definitely need (to find the code for cars) and a classifier by country of the world (to correctly indicate the country from which the car was brought).
• Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. It establishes liability for violation of customs rules. If you don't violate anything, you won't need to look into it.

Rules and terms

What is temporary import? Customs regime, which applies if the cargo is brought into the country for a certain period of time. During this period, the item has the status of a foreign product.

And you can use it with certain restrictions and under customs control. Yes and.

Who can implement

Cars are temporarily allowed to be imported into Russia. The following can bring a car from abroad for personal use (not for business):

• citizens of Russia or Union member countries;
• Foreign citizens;
• foreigners who apply for residence rights in Russia or refugee (settled) status.

For diplomats and consuls of other countries, staff of their missions and members of their families, the period of temporary import of a personal car coincides with the period of their legal stay in the country (period of privileges). As long as a diplomat works in Russia, he will drive his own car.

Importing a car temporarily will cost much less, because you won’t have to pay a hefty fee to transfer the car to the status of a Russian product. But to obtain temporary importation, you will have to provide a security amount of money, which will cover, if necessary, the obligation to pay customs duties and taxes.

Making a payment

The conditions for making a security deposit are as follows:

• Russian citizens or foreigners registering their status in Russia always pay a deposit when importing a car from abroad.
• foreign citizens pay security if they are bringing their second car. That is, for one imported car there is no need to leave it behind. An important nuance: cars must be of the same type. If a person brought a passenger car, he will have to pay a security amount for the second car. But you don’t need to pay anything for a motorcycle or truck brought after a passenger car.

The most important thing: only the declarant himself (the one who filed the declaration and placed the car under this regime) can use such temporarily imported vehicles in Russia.

Transfer of transport

What if you need to give it to someone else? The rules are as follows:

• Without customs permission, you can transfer such a car to a repair shop or for storage.
• citizens of the countries of the Union without permission can give the car for use to their relatives (wife, children), and foreigners - to their compatriots who are in Russia. Employees of consulates and diplomatic missions have the right to transfer cars to their colleagues.
• To transfer a car from a foreigner to a Russian citizen, permission will already be required. It is also issued for the export of a car from Russia if the declarant is unable to do this himself (died or seriously ill).
• in all other cases, you will have to first clear the car through customs (release it for free circulation), paying all duties and taxes, and then give it to someone.

How to obtain temporary import of a car to Russia

First you need to prepare all the legal and technical papers.

Documentation

To obtain temporary import you must have on hand:

• own passport (for both Russian citizens and foreigners);
• car passport (technical ticket or similar paper);
• a contract for the purchase of a car or another document confirming the rights to it (inheritance document, power of attorney, etc.);
• documents confirming the deposit (this is a receipt and a guarantee certificate)

Statement

This is a declaration of form TD-6. It is served the moment the border is crossed. There are two options:

• the person drives the car himself (then this declaration states that the car is luggage accompanied by the owner);
• the car is transported by other transport (accordingly, this is unaccompanied baggage).

It contains all the details of the car (VIN number, make, model, etc.).

Deposit amount

It is equal to the sum of all payments that would need to be made for its complete customs clearance (). You should prepare for the fact that the amount received will be quite impressive. And it’s better to add it before importing the car.

The security, like the duties themselves, is paid by bank transfer, so the payment may not go through instantly, and then you will be stuck with the car at the border. You will also pay fees for temporary storage.

If you did not violate the rules of using the car, the deposit can be returned.

Stages

How to proceed:

1. Select and bring a car. Don't forget to check the documents for it. If customs officers suspect that the documents are executed incorrectly or are completely false, there will be serious trouble. Even if the buyer didn't know about it.
2. Calculate and make a deposit.
3. When crossing the border, you must fill out the TD-6 form and attach documents to the car, give them to customs officers.
4. Then submit the TD-7 declaration with the policy and all other documents to obtain a certificate for the temporary import of the car. You can’t travel across the vast expanses of the country without it.

Extension of BB

It is important not to delay the issued documents. Otherwise it will turn into trouble.

The total duration of the temporary residence permit cannot be more than a year. After its expiration, either release the car into free circulation (that is, give the car the status of a Russian product by paying all duties) or take it out of the country.

To extend it, you must contact customs in advance (before the import period expires). You need to submit an application there (there is no special form for it) and a declaration, as well as all documents for the car, including the import certificate. In the declaration, the customs officer will make a note about the extension of the regime.

Overdue

If you did not take care of prolonging the procedure in time, negative consequences are possible.

What to do

• Depends on your future plans for the car: if you plan to travel from Russia, you need to declare the export.
• If there is intention to continue to use it in Russia, needs to be extended. This is possible if the pass is no more than a year. True, you will have to pay fines.

Penalty for violation

In fact, it is not the fine itself that is scary (it ranges from 1,500 to 2,500 rubles), but its alternative – confiscation of the car.

It is used less frequently; the violation must be very serious (for example, the extension of the regime has not been formalized for a long time). Only the court can put an end to this issue. But during the proceedings, you will not be able to use the car or leave the country with it. The customs officers will impose a penalty on him.

Violation of the terms of temporary import is also fraught with loss of the deposit. The amount is quite large. For this reason, it is better to adhere to deadlines.

Temporary import is convenient, first of all, for foreigners. You don’t need to buy your own transport in Russia; you can drive your usual car. The registration process itself is not easy. It’s not a matter of documents, you can deal with them, and everyone can fulfill the requirements of the law. But at customs, importing cars from abroad is always viewed with suspicion.

The theft statistics alone are worth it. Therefore, processing documents for temporary import may take a long time or even reach a dead end if the documents or the car itself seem suspicious to customs officers. Have you decided to do it yet? Then carefully check all the papers and the car itself.

This video will tell you about temporary importation:

For violating the temporary import period, a minor fine of 1,500 to 2,500 rubles has been established. under Article 16.18 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. At the discretion of the customs officer who will consider the case, a decision may be made to send the case to court for a decision on confiscation of the car. Such a sanction is also provided for in Article 16.18, but if the judge sees that the offense was not committed with the intent to leave the car in Russia or sell it to someone, he will rather decide on a simple fine. Another thing that threatens you is that, in accordance with the Customs Code of the Customs Union, in case of such a violation, an obligation arises to pay customs duties in full, as if the car was produced for domestic consumption. Now you have two options: - ride until a traffic cop literate in customs legislation or a traffic cop acting in tandem with a customs officer hands over your documents to customs for prosecution under Article 16.18 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. And the longer the period of delay, the greater the likelihood of confiscation. Although traffic cops who are literate in customs legislation or joint raids of the traffic police and customs officers are rare phenomena, this will not last indefinitely - go to the nearest customs office or to the checkpoint through which you are going to export the car with an application to extend the period of temporary import (you, as a foreigner, you have the right to temporary transportation within a year). Be prepared for the fact that your car will be confiscated during the administrative proceedings. At the same time, a demand for payment of customs duties will be prepared. Customs duties can be collected forcibly through the sale of cars through bailiffs. At the same time, no one is preventing you from contacting the nearest customs authority with an application to extend the temporary import period, which must be granted to you. Therefore, after you are given a fine (and a decision is made to return the car to you), ten days pass and the decision comes into force. The car must be given to you. Be sure to write an application for extradition in writing with registration at customs. If they do not issue it within 2-3 days, immediately file a complaint with the prosecutor’s office, a higher customs authority and the court. It is the customs office that will stall for time in order to collect payments. If they give it back, your deadline has been extended, take the car out immediately, at that time there will be no reason to keep the car in the Russian Federation. If they don’t give it back, act in the same way after considering the complaints. If a decision is made on confiscation, you need to complain to a higher court and convince it that you had no intention of not exporting the car from the Russian Federation, you simply forgot it and were afraid to come to customs. That's basically all that can be said
