The amount of the utilization fee payable for vehicles issued using a goods declaration will be calculated in accordance with the formula established by the Rules
For vehicles imported from the territories of other EEU member states, the prime rate and utilization fee coefficient are applied as of the date on which the calculation is submitted to the customs authority.
To correctly calculate the amount of the utilization fee, the payer should use information from customs documents drawn up when declaring vehicles, as well as from the List of vehicles compiled by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia (it is published on the official website of the Ministry and contains data on makes, models and cost).
We would like to remind you that the obligation to pay the utilization fee in respect of a vehicle arises from the moment the vehicle crosses the state border of the Russian Federation
We draw special attention to the fact that from April 1, in respect of vehicles with electric motors (including those equipped with hybrid power units of the sequential type), the mandatory condition for acceptance of the recycling fee calculation is information on the goods declaration or passenger customs declaration, the release of which was carried out by the customs authorities of the Russian Federation. The absence of a declaration (information) is grounds for returning the set of documents to the payer
Calculation of the utilization fee and the documents supporting the declared information are submitted by the payer proactively to the customs authority in whose region of operation the location (place of residence) of the payer is located (when importing a vehicle from the territory of a member state of the EAEU) or to the customs authority to which the customs declaration was submitted (when importing a vehicle from third countries).
