To legalize imported machinery and equipment in CIS countries, one must carry out some necessary customs clearance measures. Customs duty and VAT are paid when clearing equipment, machinery and spare parts at the customs, depending on the type of product (HS code) and country of origin. Besides, certificates or permits must be attached. After that, the goods will be classified as “released for free circulation”. The main stages of customs clearance are:
- Preparation and submission of customs declaration, with certificates attached
- Control of cargo, cost and associated documentation by the customs service
- Payment of duties and taxes
For any equipment imported from Europe, we assist in customs clearance. With minimal time and money, we guarantee prompt delivery without delay at the customs.

Factors determining customs clearance fees
According to the international Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System, each item is assigned a classification code that determines the customs rate. In some cases, goods may fall under two categories with different rates, and sometimes be exempt from import duties altogether and have privileges, as in the case of temporary import or absence of counterparts. Customs clearance is therefore a complex and demanding exercise fraught with unforeseen challenges. There are often delays in time and additional costs due to numerous nuances that cargo owners fail to always take into account.
We provide a service with maximum optimization of customs charges.
