New business opportunities created when declaring imported supplies
Therefore, the imported goods can be declared using an electronic declaration form whereas now this is possible only through the use of shipping documents.
"Owing to such amendments, it will be possible to use modern computer-aided technologies, including automatic registration and release of goods with respect to imported supplies", noted Maksat Mamytkanov, EEC Minister in charge of Customs Cooperation.
This was done at the initiative of the business community, given the priority of online customs filing contemplated by the EAEU Customs Code.
The decision is very relevant as it provides new state-of-the-art opportunities for the business community, including airline companies, rail providers and marine carriers, when declaring imported supplies. This is the case of flight catering, as well as goods sold on board aircraft and sea vessels, and trains.
Along with that, the amendments do not exclude the future possibility of the customs declaring procedure of imported supplies using transport, commercial and (or) other documents, i.e. hard copies, as before.
For reference
The Procedure for filling in the declaration for goods was approved by Decision No. 257 of the Customs Union Commission dated May 20, 2010.
Until now section X of the Procedure has determined special aspects of customs declaring procedure only in respect of supplies exported from the Union’s customs territory.
In accordance with the EAEU Customs Code, supplies are goods:
- required for the proper operation and maintenance of water vessels, aircraft and trains en route, or at point of stopover or parking, except for spare parts and equipment;
- intended for consumption and (or) use by passengers and crew members of vessels, aircraft or by passengers and employees crews on trains, as well as for distribution or sale to such persons.
