From the beginning of 2024 the Crimean customs on the fact of violation of the term of temporary importation 13 cases on administrative offenses were initiated. According to the results of the cases, penalties in the form of a warning and an administrative fine were imposed. By decision of judicial authorities 1 vehicle was confiscated. 2 vehicles were seized for failure to export them from the territory of the Eurasian Economic Union later than 6 months from the date of expiration of the deadline
Viktor Kholichev, Head of the Crimean Customs: “Inattention of citizens and malfunction of vehicles are the main reasons for failure to comply with the deadline for temporary importation. Whatever the reason may be (except for the seizure of the vehicle or its arrest), the period of temporary importation of the vehicle is not suspended. Therefore, if a temporarily imported vehicle has been involved in an accident or for any other reason cannot leave the territory of the EAEU on its own, it is necessary to take all measures (for example, use a tow truck) to ensure the removal of the vehicle before the expiration of the temporary import period. It is also possible to apply to the customs authority for customs declaration of the vehicle for the purpose of release into free circulation or to place it under a different customs procedure
For reference. Crimean Customs reminds that foreign individuals may import vehicles for personal use, registered in a state that is not a member of the Union, without paying customs duties for the period of their temporary stay, but not more than one year (Article 264 of the Customs Code of the EAEU). Persons of the member states of the Union have the right to import vehicles for personal use registered in a state that is not a member of the Union for a period of not more than one year, provided that the obligation to pay customs duties and taxes is secured
Temporarily imported vehicles for personal use before the expiry of the period during which they may temporarily stay on the customs territory of the Union are subject to customs declaration for the purpose of export from the customs territory of the Union, release into free circulation or for other purposes in accordance with the Customs Code of the EAEU
If the temporarily imported car was not exported before the expiration of the established term, part 1 of Article 16.18 of the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses (CAO RF) provides for a penalty in the form of an administrative fine in the amount of one thousand five hundred to two thousand five hundred rubles with or without confiscation of goods and (or) means of transport, which were the objects of administrative offense.
An administrative fine in the amount of one thousand five hundred to two thousand five hundred rubles with or without confiscation of goods and (or) means of transport, which were the objects of administrative offense
At the same time, please note that in accordance with subparagraph 5 of paragraph 2 of Article 268 of the Customs Code of the EAEU, the obligation to pay customs duties and taxes is terminated, including in the simultaneous fulfillment of the following conditions:
the customs declaration of such vehicles for the purpose of exportation from the customs territory of the Union is carried out not later than 6 months from the date of expiration of the period during which temporarily imported vehicles for personal use can be temporarily located on the customs territory of the Union
The deadline for payment of customs duties and taxes in connection with the transfer of these vehicles in violation of the requirements of Article 264 of the Customs Code of the EAEU has not come due with respect to such vehicles
If the declarant has fulfilled the obligation to pay customs duties and taxes (paid the amounts of arrears of customs duties and taxes in full) for violations of the time limit and (or) conditions of temporary importation of means of transport, such means of transport are subject to declaration for the purpose of exportation, release into free circulation or for other purposes in accordance with the Customs Code of the EEU (paragraph 5 of Art. 264 of the EEU Customs Code)
