Comprehensive services for the import of goods to Russia with the help of a licensed intermediary

Companies whose activities are connected with the conclusion of foreign economic contracts for the import of goods from abroad are faced with a lot of legal issues and tasks. To reduce all risks to zero, it is necessary to connect an intermediary in the person of an organization specializing in providing services for importing goods to Russia. The range of imported products is very wide - consumer goods, production equipment, raw materials, as well as other categories of goods. Import of products produced by foreign producers can pursue different goals: - implementation in the territory of the customs union, - use in own production, - Resale in the foreign market. Regardless of the nature of the goods, the procedure for importing imported products is regulated by the legislation of the Russian Federation, as well as the customs code of the EAEC. The foreign trade transaction under the import regime goes through several stages, beginning with the conclusion of the contract, transportation, certification, customs clearance and, finally, the importation of the imported goods into the balance. Documents for the import of goods to Russia: * The main document, which is the basis for the import of goods, is the International Contract. It is compiled in two languages ​​- Russian and the language of the seller. Often the seller's language is English. A mandatory item will be the indication of the main language, which should be based on disputed cases of discrepancy. The same condition applies to additional agreements that are an integral part of the contract. * International contract of sale. Contains all the conditions on the basis of which the parties make this transaction. * Invoice - a document that accompanies any foreign economic transaction. Exhibited by the Seller, is used by the Buyer to pay for the goods. The invoice contains all the information concerning the commercial characteristics of the product, its features and value. Usually accompanies the goods in transit. * Packing List - contains all information about the physical characteristics of the shipment of goods shipped - volume, gross and net weights, as well as the number of seats. * Consignment note - contains information about the terms of delivery, the number of goods transported, as well as the details of the sender and the recipient. Confirms the fact of acceptance of cargo for transportation with indication of the characteristics of the goods. Each type of transport has its own type and name of the waybill. * Certificate of origin - required to confirm the country of origin of the goods. Its availability will help in obtaining some benefits when passing customs control. Each document from the list requires careful registration, otherwise at the stage of customs control there may be problems with determining the value of customs value and the basis for calculating customs payments. Ways of organizing imports in Russia: * After the contract is signed, the mechanism for fulfilling the terms of the transaction is launched. The foreign supplier makes the shipment of products to a vehicle of the appropriate type for further delivery to the customs territory of the Russian Federation. * In the customs body, the imported cargo is subject to customs clearance for its legalization and legal circulation on the territory of the Russian Federation and the countries-participants of the customs union. After passing customs clearance, the consignment should be delivered to the final destination for unloading at the consignee's warehouse. * The whole scheme can be implemented on the basis of a contract concluded between your Russian company and the seller, or you can outsource these functions and use the contract of the broker. Import under the contract of the broker possesses a number of advantages both for representatives of small and average business, and for the large companies. There is no need to register as a participant in foreign trade activities - the licensed intermediary takes over the delivery and payment of the cargo, and also draws up the necessary documents for the import of goods to Russia in accordance with the regulations.
