Specific deadlines for payment of customs duties and taxes are determined based on the fact that payment of these amounts must be made before the start of the corresponding period.

If the amount of customs duties and taxes paid under partial conditional exemption from customs duties and taxes becomes equal to the amount, which would be subject to payment if on the day of placement under the customs regime of temporary import the goods were released for free circulation, the goods are considered released for free circulation provided that they are not subject to economic restrictions established in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation on state regulation of foreign trade activities, or the restrictions that applied on the day the goods were placed under the customs regime of temporary import have been cancelled.

Article 121 of the Federal Law of November 27, 2010 No. 311-FZ “On Customs Regulation in the Russian Federation” establishes that funds paid as advance payments are the property of the person who made the advance payments and cannot be considered as customs payments until until the specified person makes an order to this effect to the customs authority or the customs authority seizes the advance payments. The order of the person who made the advance payments includes, among other things, the submission by him or on his behalf of a customs declaration indicating the intention of this person to use his funds as customs payments. Based on the order of the person who made the advance payments on their use, the customs authority, which administers the specified funds, identifies advance payments as customs payments by their types and amounts.

If the amount of customs duties and taxes paid during the temporary import of goods becomes equal to the amount that would have been payable if on the day the goods were placed under the customs procedure of temporary import they had been released for free circulation, a change in the status of the goods occurs. Such goods are considered released for free circulation, provided that such goods are not subject to restrictions of an economic nature established in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation on state regulation of foreign trade activities, or restrictions applied on the day the goods are placed under the customs procedure of temporary import are cancelled. Otherwise, such goods acquire the status of released for free circulation (in free circulation), subject to confirmation by the person of compliance with such restrictions of an economic nature.

    In a number of cases, if it is necessary to use foreign goods on the customs territory of the Russian Federation temporarily, for example, when organizing exhibitions, importing goods for use by representative offices of foreign legal entities on the territory of the Russian Federation, and so on, it is advisable to use the customs regime of temporary import, which involves the use of full or partial exemption from payment of customs duties and taxes during the period of temporary import.

    Conditions for placing goods under customs regime:

    Possibility of identification of placed goods by the customs authority during their subsequent re-export (except for cases when, in accordance with international treaties of the Russian Federation, the replacement of temporarily imported goods with goods of the same type is allowed). Identification is the establishment of the identity of temporarily imported goods with those re-exported;

    Submission by the person declaring the customs regime of guarantees of compliance with the proper fulfillment of duties established by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, including the submission of an obligation to re-export temporarily imported goods, if there is such a requirement from the customs authority.

    Foreign goods previously placed under other customs regimes may be placed under the customs regime of temporary import, subject to compliance with the requirements and conditions provided for by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation regarding the completion of the previously declared customs regime, as well as compliance with the conditions for placing goods under the customs regime of temporary import.

    Guarantees of compliance with the proper fulfillment of obligations established by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation during temporary import are: - ensuring payment of customs duties and taxes. The amount of security is determined by the customs authority based on the amounts of customs duties and taxes payable upon release of goods for free circulation;

    Submission of an obligation to re-export temporarily imported goods.

    The application of security for the payment of customs duties is described in more detail in general provisions.

    In accordance with general conditions security for the payment of customs duties and taxes, such security is not provided if the amount of customs duties, taxes, penalties and interest payable is less than 20,000 rubles, as well as in cases where the customs authority has reason to believe that the obligations undertaken to it will be fulfilled.

    The procedure for paying customs duties and taxes.

    By general rule Temporary import of goods is allowed with full conditional or partial exemption from customs duties and taxes.

    List of categories of goods temporarily imported from full conditional exemption from customs duties and taxes, as well as the conditions for such exemption, including the deadlines for temporary import, are determined by the Government of the Russian Federation.

    Currently, the list of categories of goods whose temporary import is allowed with full conditional exemption from customs duties and taxes is established by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated August 16, 2000 No. 599 “On the list of goods temporarily imported (exported) with full conditional exemption from customs duties and taxes ". This list is based on international treaties of the Russian Federation in the field of culture, cinematography, sports, etc. The maximum period for temporary import of goods using a full conditional exemption from customs duties and taxes in accordance with the specified resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation is one year.

    The Customs Code directly provides for the provision of exemption from customs duties and taxes in respect of goods, the temporary import of which does not cause significant economic damage to the Russian Federation. Product categories include the following:

    Temporarily imported containers, pallets, other types of reusable containers and packaging;

    Temporarily imported goods within the framework of the development of foreign trade relations, international relations in the field of science, culture, cinematography, sports and tourism;

    Temporarily imported goods for international assistance.

    It should be noted that in accordance with Annex B3 of the Temporary Importation Convention (Istanbul, 1990) for the following species reusable packaging:

    Packaging, if it meets the requirements of subparagraph "b" of Article 1 of the specified appendix;

    Container, if it meets the requirements of subparagraph “c” of Article 1 of the specified appendix;

    The pallet, if it meets the requirements of subparagraph "d" of article 1 of the said annex,

    full conditional exemption from customs duties and taxes is provided. At the same time, declaring such goods to the customs authority is allowed using, instead of a customs declaration, a written statement - an obligation to re-export these goods (for pallets, the requirement is softer: other pallets can be exported back, provided that their number is equal to the number of previously temporarily imported and such pallets will not differ in their characteristics). In accordance with the provisions of Article 5 of Appendix B3 of the Temporary Import Convention, customs authorities are not given the right to demand security for the payment of customs duties. The period for temporary import of the types of reusable packaging in question cannot be set by the customs authority for less than six months.

    In relation to other categories of goods, as well as in case of non-compliance with the conditions for full conditional exemption from customs duties and taxes, partial conditional exemption from customs duties and taxes is applied. Partial exemption provides for the payment of three percent of the amount of customs duties and taxes that would be payable as if the goods were released for free circulation, for each full and incomplete calendar month of the goods being in the customs territory of the Russian Federation

    The calculation of amounts when applying partial conditional exemption from customs duties and taxes for each full and incomplete calendar month of goods being in the customs territory looks like this:

    It should be taken into account that customs fees for customs clearance of goods temporarily imported with both full conditional and partial exemption from customs duties and taxes are payable when submitting a customs declaration. Subsequently, such amounts are not taken into account in the above calculation.

    The amount calculated in this way can be paid either immediately when goods are placed under the customs regime of temporary import (in this case, it must be multiplied by the number of calendar months during which the temporarily imported goods are in the customs territory of the Russian Federation), or periodically. Periodic payment of customs duties and taxes when applying partial conditional exemption from customs duties and taxes is made at the request of the person who has received a temporary import permit. The frequency of such payment is also determined by this person with the consent of the customs authority. Specific deadlines for payment of customs duties and taxes are determined based on the fact that payment of these amounts must be made before the start of the corresponding period. Currently, the most widespread is the quarterly frequency of payment of customs duties and taxes.

    Responsibility for paying customs duties and taxes in relation to temporarily imported goods lies with the person who has received a temporary import permit.

    The total amount of customs duties and taxes levied during temporary import with the use of partial conditional exemption must not exceed the amount of customs duties and taxes that would have been payable if on the day of placement under the customs regime of temporary import the goods had been released for free circulation without taking into account penalties for late payment of customs duties, taxes and interest on them.

    If the amount of customs duties and taxes paid during the temporary import of goods becomes equal to the amount that would be payable if on the day the goods were placed under the customs regime of temporary import they were released for free circulation, a change in the status of the goods occurs. Such goods are considered released for free circulation, provided that such goods are not subject to restrictions of an economic nature established in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation on state regulation of foreign trade activities, or restrictions applied on the day the goods are placed under the customs regime of temporary import are cancelled. Otherwise, such goods acquire the status of released for free circulation (in free circulation), subject to confirmation by the person of compliance with such restrictions of an economic nature.

    Terms of temporary import of goods.

    The maximum period of temporary import established by Article 213 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation is 2 years. For certain types of goods, the Government of the Russian Federation may establish shorter or longer periods of temporary import.

    In relation to goods related to the main production assets (means), provided that such goods are not the property of Russian persons using them in the customs territory of the Russian Federation, temporary import is allowed with the use of partial exemption from customs duties and taxes for 34 months, with provided that such goods are not the property of Russian persons using them in the customs territory of the Russian Federation. To establish such a period in accordance with “On approval of the List of documents and information required for customs clearance of goods in accordance with the selected customs regime,” information on the name of the group and code of goods according to the selected customs regime must be additionally submitted to the customs authority. All-Russian classifier fixed assets (OKOF) (if goods are temporarily imported using partial conditional exemption from customs duties and taxes, they are not the property of Russian persons using them in the customs territory of the Russian Federation).

    Establishing a period for temporary import of goods of 34 months implies that after the expiration of the specified period, based on the calculation of customs duties and taxes paid when applying a partial conditional exemption from such payment, the goods are considered released for free circulation. In this case, after 34 months, an application for the customs regime of release for domestic consumption is not required, re-declaration of goods is not made - in the customs declaration about the placement of goods under the customs regime of temporary import, the customs authority puts a corresponding mark.

    The specific period of temporary import is established by the customs authority within the limits maximum terms temporary import established by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation or the relevant resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation, based on the application of the person who applied for a temporary import permit, taking into account the purposes and circumstances of such import.

    The established period of temporary import at the motivated request of a person may be extended by decision of the customs authority (customs office carrying out customs control for temporarily imported goods) within the maximum period. The customs authority makes a decision to extend the period of temporary import in the absence of violations of the requirements and conditions established by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation in relation to the customs regime of temporary import.

    The procedure for performing certain customs operations when using the customs regime of temporary import, including the issuance by the customs authority of permission to place goods under the customs regime of temporary import, extension of the declared period of temporary import, transfer of temporarily imported goods to another person, as well as suspension of the customs regime of temporary import is established by "On performing certain customs operations when using the customs regime of temporary import" (registered by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation on January 8, 2004, registration No. 5387).

    A permit to place goods under the customs regime of temporary import is issued by a customs authority (customs post) that has the competence to release temporarily imported goods.

    Permission from the customs authority to place goods under the customs regime of temporary import is issued by the customs authority by affixing the stamp “Release permitted” and other technological marks on the customs declaration with the declared customs regime of temporary import and filled out in accordance with the Rules for filling out the customs declaration when declaring goods imported into the customs territory RF and (or) issued for free circulation.

    In addition to the declaration, a statement from the person is provided for the customs authority to make a decision, a sample of which is given in the above order. This statement is considered for customs purposes as an obligation to re-export temporarily imported goods.

    In accordance with the order of the State Customs Committee of the Russian Federation dated September 16, 2003 No. 1022 “On approval of the List of documents and information required for customs clearance of goods in accordance with the selected customs regime,” when placing goods under the customs regime of temporary import, the following documents and information are additionally submitted:

    Documents and information about the purpose of temporary import of goods;

    Information about the identification characteristics of goods;

    Documents and information justifying the application of a full conditional exemption from customs duties and taxes with reference to a specific international treaty of the Russian Federation or a regulatory legal act of the Government of the Russian Federation, if such exemption is allowed in accordance with the legal acts of the Russian Federation;

    An obligation to re-export temporarily imported goods, drawn up in any written form, and other guarantees of the proper fulfillment of obligations established by the Customs Code of the Russian Federation (including documents confirming the availability of security for payment of customs duties);

    Plans and programs for carrying out activities using goods placed under the customs regime of temporary import (such as: programs scientific works or educational process, which provides for the use of the specified goods, plans and programs of tests, inspections, experiments using the specified goods);

    Statement on the expected timing of temporary import of goods, drawn up in any written form;

    Documents and information indicating compliance with the requirements of the previously declared customs regime (in the case of placing under the customs regime the temporary import of goods previously placed under other customs regimes);

    Other documents and information that the declarant deems necessary to submit for the purposes of applying for the customs regime of temporary import and establishing by the customs authority the period of temporary import requested by the person declaring the customs regime.

    A refusal by the customs authority to issue a permit is possible only if the conditions for placing goods under the customs regime of temporary import are not met.

    It should be noted that the Labor Code of the Russian Federation does not establish restrictions on the application of the customs regime of temporary import based on the nature of civil law relations Russian person- applicant for customs regime with a foreigner. Thus, placement under the customs regime of temporary import is possible both for goods imported under rental and leasing agreements, and in accordance with a purchase and sale (supply) agreement. It is also possible to use an agency agreement and a commission agreement. The main requirement imposed by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation in this case is that the person receiving a temporary import permit has the status of a declarant based on the content of Articles 16 and 126 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

    The customs regime for temporary import involves the application of restrictions on the use and disposal of temporarily imported goods. Such restrictions include (Article 211 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation):

    Use of temporarily imported goods only by a person who has received a temporary import permit;

    Temporarily imported goods must remain in unchanged condition, with the exception of changes due to natural wear and tear or loss under normal conditions of transportation (shipment), storage and use (operation). In order to comply with the person this requirement with temporarily imported goods, it is allowed to carry out operations necessary to ensure their safety, including repairs (except for major repairs and modernization), maintenance and other operations necessary to preserve the consumer properties of the goods and maintain the goods in the condition in which they were on the day of their placement under the customs regime of temporary import. It should be noted that before the new edition of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation came into force on January 1, 2004, no transactions were allowed with temporarily imported goods.

    If necessary transfer of the right to use temporarily imported goods to another person, such transfer is permitted with the permission of the customs authority. In this case, the person to whom temporarily imported goods are transferred must have sufficient authority in relation to these goods to act as a declarant in accordance with the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. The transfer of temporarily imported goods to another person is permitted by the customs authority if:

    This person undertakes an obligation to the customs authorities to comply with all conditions and restrictions of the customs regime of temporary import;

    The person who initially received permission to temporarily import goods has paid customs duties and taxes for the period of use of goods under the customs regime of temporary import, if a partial conditional exemption from customs duties and taxes is applied to the goods;

    If compliance with the requirements and restrictions of the customs regime of temporary import is ensured by guarantees, then the person to whom the temporarily imported goods are transferred must draw up the relevant documents in his own name.

    If the customs authority issues a permit to transfer temporarily imported goods to another person, the specified person, from the date of issue of such permit, acquires the rights and bears the responsibilities established by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation for the person who received the temporary import permit.

    Suspension of the customs regime for temporary import is carried out in the following cases (clause 3 of Article 214 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation):

    Seizure of temporarily imported goods or their seizure in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation;

    Placement of temporarily imported goods into a customs warehouse in accordance with paragraph 3 of Article 217 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation;

    At the request of the person who received a permit for temporary import, when placing temporarily imported goods for which partial exemption from customs duties and taxes was applied, under other customs regimes that do not provide for the release of goods for free circulation.

    In this case, it appears that the legislator made a certain kind of inaccuracy. Thus, placing goods in a customs warehouse is impossible without applying for them the customs regime of a customs warehouse (see the next section), that is, in essence, this type of suspension of the customs regime of temporary import represents the third case of suspension - placing goods under other customs regimes , which do not provide for release for free circulation.

    The above inaccuracy can have quite serious legal consequences, since during the period of suspension of the customs regime of temporary import the person does not pay periodic customs payments, and the period of suspension is not included in the total period of temporary import of goods.

    In accordance with the order of the State Customs Committee of the Russian Federation dated December 4, 2003 No. 1388 “On performing certain customs operations when using the customs regime of temporary import” To suspend the customs regime of temporary import, a person must submit to the customs authority not only a customs declaration with the declared customs regime, but an application for suspension . In the absence of such a statement, the fact of declaring temporarily imported goods in accordance with a different customs regime is considered as the end of the customs regime.

    In accordance with the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, after the expiration of the suspension period, the customs regime of temporary import is resumed automatically. This circumstance should always be taken into account, since from the moment the temporary import customs regime is resumed, the person who received a temporary import permit is required to pay periodic customs payments.

    When the customs regime of temporary import is resumed, interest, the accrual and payment of which is provided for in accordance with this chapter, for the period of suspension of the customs regime of temporary import is not accrued or paid.

    The customs regime for temporary import is terminated (Article 214 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation):

    By exporting temporarily imported goods from the customs territory of the Russian Federation;

    By releasing temporarily imported goods for free circulation;

    By placing temporarily imported goods under other customs regimes that do not provide for the release of goods for free circulation.

    Re-export of temporarily imported goods from the customs territory of the Russian Federation entails the obligation of persons to place such goods under the customs regime of re-export. Re-export can be declared at any customs authority, including those located in another region of the Russian Federation. In any case, it should be taken into account that for customs clearance, in addition to the customs declaration with the declared customs regime for re-export, the provision of documents and information necessary for placing goods under the selected customs regime is required, as well as in accordance with subparagraph “a” of paragraph 19 of the List of documents and information required for customs clearance of goods in accordance with the selected customs regime, approved by Order of the State Customs Committee of the Russian Federation dated September 16, 2003 No. 1022, information about the circumstances of the location of goods in the customs territory of the Russian Federation in the form of confirmation of the customs office under whose control the goods are located, in the form of a letter signed by the head of customs or a person replacing him, certified by a customs seal, on compliance with the requirements and conditions of the customs regime, in accordance with which the goods are located on the customs territory of the Russian Federation, and a customs declaration indicating that the goods are under the chosen customs regime, since in this case the customs regime re-export is declared in order to terminate the previous customs regime.

    When releasing temporarily imported goods for free circulation, with the exception of cases of release after 34 months of temporary import with partial exemption from customs duties and taxes, periodic customs payments are subject to offset against payments that are paid upon release for domestic consumption at the same time for During the entire period of application of the partial exemption, interest is payable on the amounts of customs duties and taxes that would have been payable if an installment plan had been granted for these amounts from the date of application of the partial exemption from customs duties and taxes.

    It should be noted that due to Article 439 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and the constitutional principle of paying taxes upon the release of goods for free circulation, temporarily imported before January 1, 2004, the above interest is counted only for the period of temporary import from January 1, 2004, while periodic customs payments are subject to offset for the entire period that goods are in the customs regime of temporary import.

    Features of temporary import using ATA carnets.

    In accordance with the Convention on Temporary Import (Istanbul, 1990), when temporarily importing goods into the territory of a contracting party, instead of a customs declaration provided for by national legislation, a “temporary import document” - an international customs document equated to a customs declaration, allowing the identification of goods ( including vehicles) and including an internationally valid guarantee for the payment of import duties and taxes, as well as providing for the simplification of customs formalities.

    Such a document for the import of goods intended for display or use at exhibitions, fairs, conferences or similar events, professional equipment and goods imported for educational, scientific or cultural purposes, that is, temporarily imported with full conditional exemption from customs duties, taxes, is an ATA carnet.

    On the territory of the Russian Federation, such a temporary import document is actually used after the publication of the Government of the Russian Federation Decree No. 1084 dated November 2, 1995 “On the accession of the Russian Federation to the Customs Convention on the ATA Carnet for the temporary import of goods of December 6, 1961 and the Temporary Import Convention of June 26 1990 with the adoption of a number of applications."

    Temporary import of goods using ATA carnets involves the use of a completed form of this carnet for temporary import and re-export of goods under the guarantee of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation. When temporarily importing such goods, customs authorities are not required to provide security for payment of customs duties. Customs clearance goods temporarily imported using ATA carnets are produced in short time.

    One of the significant problems associated with the use of ATA carnets in the Russian Federation is the small number of customs authorities that are competent to carry out customs operations with such goods. The currently valid list of such customs authorities is established by Order of the State Customs Committee of the Russian Federation dated June 30, 2004 No. 760 “On approval of the list of customs authorities competent to carry out customs operations with goods transported using ATA carnets.”
