  • 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.
