Any person involved in international trade or foreign economic activity has to face the need for customs clearance of imported goods. If you have ever seen at the corner of your eye documents that you not only need to fill out, but also do it correctly and in full compliance with the law, then you understand that this moment is one of the most difficult in all foreign trade.

To buy goods abroad is not so difficult. Bring it yourself is also quite simple. The problems begin next. After all, in order to properly "clear" the goods, all documents must be drawn up on it, all duties and taxes are paid, and it is very difficult for the uninitiated to do this correctly. It was for simplification of foreign economic activity that such a subject of activity as a customs carrier was created. If you want to import goods without unnecessary problems, you will need the services of such an enterprise. A customs carrier is a legal entity that provides services for transporting goods under a simplified scheme, that is, without ensuring payment of customs payments and escort.

Authorized bodies in customs clearance require the importer to provide security for payment of duties and payments. If the enterprise does not have such an opportunity, a customs carrier will come to the rescue, which will not only transport the goods, but also relieve the need to deal with formalities on their own.

A customs carrier can only be a resident enterprise, that is, for Russia - a Russian legal entity, for Ukraine - respectively, Ukrainian. Such an enterprise must be entered in the register of customs carriers, and must also obtain the appropriate license. At the same time, for registration in the register it is necessary to provide not only all the constituent and accounting documents, but also have collateral - for Russian carriers, its size is 20 million rubles. Ensuring payment is made for the entire period of the enterprise's activity, that is why compliance with the customs legislation for the carrier's customers is guaranteed and they are no longer required to make payments independently.

The choice of the company is made by the sender of the goods or forwarder. The customs carrier and the sender conclude a public contract, and the carrier must ensure not only the safety of the goods and all documents, but also compliance with legislation, transportation conditions, and confidentiality. The activities of such enterprises are carefully monitored, and a license can be withdrawn in case of violation of the rules of customs declaration.

If the customs clearance of the goods was carried out incorrectly, if the carrier does not perform any of its direct duties, the certificate of entry into the register is canceled. Therefore, such formalities as determining the code of goods, setting the amount of payments and duties, checking the shipping documents for compliance with the law is best entrusted to specialists - the customs carrier helps to save not only time, but money.
