The duty on cars is an integral part of the car customs clearance procedure

With such a procedure as customs clearance of a car, the car owner encounters when, when buying a car abroad, it imports it to Russia.

Nowadays this method of buying cars has become quite popular. Often, people buy used cars in other countries, both for resale purposes and for personal use. And no wonder. Indeed, today it is relatively inexpensive to buy a second-hand car of excellent quality, which received timely technical maintenance, and also operated under more favorable conditions. Here we have in mind both the climate and the state of the roads.

Due to the fact that the procedure of customs clearance is mandatory for every imported car, then when buying a car abroad, you should take into account not only its cost, but also what is required for customs clearance - duty on cars. Without making this payment, further registration will be impossible. In a word, the car will not be cleared.

The size of this payment affects the age of the car and the volume of its engine. In the absence, for whatever reason, of the release date of the vehicle, it can be determined by the VIN code. It has every car, except for Japanese cars.

In addition, in order for the sequence of the customs clearance procedure to be properly observed, it is required that the duty on the car be paid in a timely manner. In accordance with the established procedure, this period is 24 hours after the crossing of the customs border by the car.

Brokers who have enough experience do not advise buying a car that has been in operation since its production for more than seven years because the customs clearance procedure can be very expensive for a car owner.

Brokers are specialists who take care of everything connected with the execution of documents, doing it correctly and correctly. With their help, customs clearance of the car passes for the car owner easier and faster. Of course, brokerage services will have to be paid.

In addition to the fact that for the customs clearance procedure of the car its owner will be paid a duty on the car, he must submit the following necessary list of documents to the customs service:

• Documents that confirm the ownership of the car (contract of sale, gift agreement, account or check);
• Technical passport of the vehicle with a note on removal from the register;
• Customs declaration ;
• The identity document of the car owner.

In the event that any of the specified documents are missing, or if the discrepancy of the numbers on the body, chassis or engine with the numbers indicated in the documents is detected in the course of the customs clearance procedure, the car may be refused.

Thus, the duty on the car, even in time paid for, is not a guarantee of successful completion of a troublesome process. It is equally important that all documents are in order.

In order to determine the amount of your costs associated with the passage of the customs clearance procedure of the car, you can use a special program - a customs calculator. Anyone who has access to the Internet, can, without leaving home, to calculate the duty on the car.

All you need to do is add the data of your car: the cost, type and volume of the engine, power, and the year of its production.

The customs calculator allows not only to calculate the duty, but also to calculate the final cost of cars in Vladivostok and other regions of Russia. Here we are talking about those machines that go for resale.
