Customs formalities in Russia are governed by the Customs Code of Russian Federation. Every incoming shipment undergoes 5 stages of customs control:
• Declaration (freight is registered, documents accepted by customs official)
• Documentary verification (papers are checked and actual shipment is verified against accompanying documents)
• Monetary control (the declared value of shipment is proved and customs duties are debited from consignee’s account)
• Physical check of the freight (not necessarily 100% must be checked by the inspector, normally it is a visual check or a spot-check)
• Goods release (final stamp is put on the AWB and the customer has the right to pick up the shipment from the ware-house)
Consigner-Consignee Information
Shipments need to have a specific consignee in Russia and this entity should be listed on the Waybill. If the consignee is a legal entity, it must be registered with Russian customs at the post where the shipment is cleared. Russian law may override the seller’s responsibilities in the some types of sales contracts by requiring that the consignee pay for customs clearance and import duties. All aspects of a shipment should be coordinated with Priority Freight prior to being sent to Russia.
