A car from Belarus: it's easy to drive!

This article will be interesting and useful for those who intend to drive a car from Belarus to Russia. It covers information for the current 2013 year.

The car from Belarus: how to drive?

So, at the moment there are only two conditions for driving a car from Belarus without a duty. First, the machine must be cleared in Belarus (at any time). Second - the machine must comply with the Euro-4 standard. If both these conditions are met, then such a car from Belarus will be a "checkpoint". Therefore, it will not be difficult to bring it.

Some nuances

In order to bring a car from the Republic of Belarus duty-free with the further receipt of the PTA and registration, it is necessary to consider the following. The population of Belarus is ten times less than the population of Russia. Accordingly, there are fewer cars. And the "passing" cars are less so. Therefore, it is worth hurrying and deciding on his choice. By the way, you need to choose a car with an engine capacity of more than 2 liters, as well as cars age not more than 3 years. This can be explained by the fact that duties on the import of cars with small volume and large in Russia are completely different, in contrast to Belarus, where these duties are lower. Also, for import of new cars, duties in Russia are much higher than for old ones. And in Belarus, again, it is not so obvious. Choose a car in advance, study the ads for their sale. Next, you need to determine whether the car from Belarus meets the Euro-4 environmental standard.

Certificate of Euro-4

What it is necessary to know about it? The fact that it can only be obtained in Russia, and not in Belarus. And it's almost impossible to get it for cars produced before 2006 (practically, because it's potentially possible, but it will cost a lot, the cost of the car will be more than in Russia). Also you need to make sure that the vehicle is removed from the register in the Republic of Belarus.

After everything is ready

You need to call the seller, arrange an appointment with him. Discuss all details of the transaction: time, place, currency and other things. Next you need to plan a trip to Belarus. Take care of the place where you will live, about communication, about all the necessary things. When you arrived and met with the seller, you should carefully inspect the car for damage and inconsistencies of documents with these numbers of units and assemblies. A car from Belarus may require a diagnosis if you doubt it. You can make it right in the car service center in Belarus. If all checks are successful, make a purchase.

Customs office

Before going for a purchase, you will need to find out all the nuances of customs control in our country. Until April 2011, the customs of Belarus issued special certificates that this car customs cleared. Now these certificates are not issued, and the customs in the Russian Federation checks this fact with a request to the relevant database. If there is no information in this database, a written request will be sent to Belarus. This will delay the receipt of the TCP for one or two months.
