And if the amount of unpaid customs payments exceeded 2 million rubles, the offender is criminally liable
In case of irretrievable loss of a temporarily imported vehicle (accident, force majeure), the re-export of such goods from the customs territory of the EAEU may not be made if the customs authority recognizes the fact of such loss
