In order to import a foreign car into Russia without problems and delays, you must carefully prepare for this event. The most important issue that you must first familiarize yourself with is the calculation of the customs duty on the car, i.e. the amount that you must pay to the state for the right to use a foreign car in Russia.
The main document that needs to be carefully studied in order to clarify the calculation of the customs duty on a car is the decree of the Government of the Russian Federation, adopted on November 29, 2003. This document approves the provision on the application of the customs rate of duties and taxes in relation to products that are transported by citizens for personal use and use through customs.
Calculation of the customs duty on a car of foreign origin is carried out at the rates provided by the customs tariff. According to the Customs Code of Russia, payment of a fee can be made in rubles or in foreign currency, it depends on the wishes of the owner of the car.
Calculation of the customs duty on a car can be done using a customs calculator taking into account the rate of the Central Bank of Russia and a certain amount to be deposited to the account or to the cash desk of the customs authority on a receipt order.
Because when calculating the customs duty, the customs authorities take into account the age, country of origin, engine data and the cost of the car, remember the tariffs that are used to calculate the amount for the car.
For example, from a foreign car, the production date of which is no more than 3 years and its cost is not more than 325 thousand rubles, 48% of the customs value, but not less than 2.5 euros per 1 centimeter of a cubic capacity of a motor vehicle, are taken into account. For a car whose release date is more than 3 years, but not older than 7 years, the customs duty is calculated depending on the engine capacity.
