Instructions
Step 1
Study customs legislation. This is the first thing to do for novice entrepreneurs engaged in foreign economic activity. If you are a private person, then you need to register an enterprise of any form of ownership with the ability to conduct import activities.
Step 2
Prepare a package of documents for passing the customs regime. You will need: a purchase / sale agreement with the manufacturer, certificates of conformity and a transaction passport.
Step 3
Fill out the cargo customs declaration. Specify the TN VED CU codes corresponding to your product. Shoes belong to the XII section of the register. Depending on the type of manufacture, base material and sole material, it is necessary to enter the complete codes of the entire assortment in the declaration. This section also includes accessories and blanks for the manufacture of shoes, which are also subject to a mandatory declaration.
Step 4
Pay the duty, VAT and other customs fees that will be charged on your shipment. The exact amount will depend on the product classification code, country of origin and volume.
Step 5
Contact customs brokers who will take care of all the hassle of going through customs. Under a separate agreement, brokers will also be able to carry out the purchase and transportation of goods, followed by customs control. Specialists of this kind of companies will calculate the cost of customs duties on their own and present an estimate to the customer at the same time as receiving the goods. You can turn to the services of customs brokers at any stage of the transportation of goods. A wide network of branches of large brokerage agencies allows freight forwarding all the way.
Step 6
Challenge the nature of the cargo if it was mistakenly considered commercial. Such cases often happen with tourists who purchase two or more pairs of the same shoes. In this case, you must prove that you purchased the product for personal use. If your arguments are unconvincing for the customs authorities, the tourist will be forced to pay customs tax, otherwise the cargo will be arrested.
