From October 1, when transporting goods through Russia to other EAEU countries, the transit declaration must be filled out not in Russia (as a transit country), but in the country of final sale of the goods. For example, in Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan or Armenia.

And this summer, the Russian government simplified the procedure for transit of goods for importers.

Now they do not need to provide security for payment of customs duties and duties. That is, if previously importers had to submit two declarations, now their number has been reduced to one.

The Russian government hopes that this measure will speed up customs procedures and help relieve port congestion, especially in the Far East.

 

In addition, from October 1, 2023, a new procedure for filling out a transit declaration came into force. It also contains a number of simplifications:

1. The transit declaration can now be filled out in paper or electronic form

2. It has become possible to fill out a transit declaration when transporting cargo by two or more types of transport

3.The transit declaration can now be used when moving international postal items

All changes are aimed at speeding up customs procedures. And this is beneficial for both business and customers. Companies that work in the field of logistics will be able to spend less time preparing documents, and the cargo itself will pass through customs control faster. Consequently, clients will receive cargo much faster.
