Customs payments are mandatory payments, charged by customs authorities in relation with goods crossing customs border of the EAEU.
The payer of customs payments is always the declarant or its official representative. Any customs payments are calculated based on the customs value of goods and their physical characteristics (quantity, weight).
According to article 46 of EAEU CC customs payments include:
When exporting goods from the country of departure no customs duty, as a rule, is paid (export customs duty). Also, the goods exported are exempt from sales tax and excise duties in most cases.
Unlike export duty, import duty is a mandatory payment, which is charged by the customs authority in the country of destination when importing goods from abroad. The rates of import customs duties applied to goods imported into the customs territory of the EAEU are specified in the EAEU Common Customs Tariff.
