  • Guidelines for Shipment of Goods Subject to Customs Clearance
    KAZAN 2015 1 GUIDELINES FOR SHIPMENT OF GOODS SUBJECT TO CUSTOMS CLEARANCE Dear participants of the 16th FINA World Championships! The Guidelines contain important practical information regarding import to Russia and export from Russia of foreign goods to be used within the framework of the sport event. Please note that the Guidelines are not applicable to the goods carried by individuals in their accompanied luggage. The Guidelines apply to the goods carried to and back from the country as cargo transportations. GUIDELINES FOR SHIPMENT OF GOODS SUBJECT TO CUSTOMS CLEARANCE KAZAN 2015 2 1. Introduction The Russian Federation is a member-state of the Eurasian Economic Union which includes the Republic of Armenia, the Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation. The territory of the above mentioned states forms a customs territory of the Eurasian Economic Union. As a rule, the customs authorities are located at the customs borders of the Eurasian Economic Union (border customs authorities) or within the territory of the Eurasian Economic Union (internal customs authorities). The main criterion for choosing the customs authority for customs clearance of the goods is the way of their shipment to Russia - by air or land transport. The Organising Committee recommends you to arrange customs clearance of the goods with the internal customs authorities of the city of Kazan. The customs transit procedure shall be applied for delivery of the goods to the internal customs authorities of Kazan. The said procedure shall be used if: - the cargo has been delivered to the border by air by international airlines and shall be further shipped to Kazan by air by domestic airlines; - the cargo has been delivered to the border by air by international airlines and shall be further shipped to Kazan by motor transport; - the cargo has been delivered to the border by motor transport and shall be further shipped to Kazan by motor transport as well.

  • U.S. Customs and Border Protection Guide to Importing Into the U.S
    1 Importing into the United States A Guide for Commercial Importers A Notice To Our Readers On March 1, 2003, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, or CBP, was born as an agency of the Department of Homeland Security, merging functions of the former Customs Service, Immigration and Naturalization Service, Border Patrol, and Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. Many changes took place in preparation for this merger and many have occurred since in order to safeguard U.S. borders against high- risk cargo, contraband, and unsafe imports. We encourage you to visit our Website (www.cbp.gov) for the latest information on specific laws, regulations or procedures that may affect your import transactions. * * * * * * This edition of Importing Into the United States contains material pursuant to the Trade Act of 2002 and the Customs Modernization Act (Title VI of the North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act), commonly referred to as the Mod Act. The Customs Modernization Act (Title VI of the North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act [P.L. 103-182, 107 Stat. 2057]) became effective December 8, 1993. Its provisions have fundamentally altered the relationship between importers and CBP by shifting to the importer, the legal responsibility for declaring the value, classification, and rate of duty applicable to entered merchandise. A prominent feature of the Mod Act is a relationship between CBP and importers that is characterized by informed compliance. (See Section Three of this book, which starts on page 26, for details and definitions.) A key component of informed compliance is the shared responsibility between CBP and the import community, wherein CBP communicates its requirements to the importer, and the importer, in turn, uses reasonable care to assure that CBP is provided with accurate and timely data pertaining to his or her importations.

We do this with the help of our unmatched global network – encompassing the International Chamber of Commerce, the International Organization of Employers and Business at OECD, which serve as crucial platforms for American business to gain a seat at the table and speak with a unified voice in international policy and regulatory forums. The populist backlash against global economic integration has created an environment of significant policy uncertainty for international business. Yet as we wrote to President Trump in the lead-up to his 2018 State of the Union address, it is essential for the United States and the American people to remain engaged and committed to growing the U.S. and global economies. Harold McGraw III and Peter M. Robinson We believe that the following policy approaches will put us on the right path: • Opening markets to increased trade and investment. • Championing sustainability. The UN’s 2030 The U.S.
