Importing cars into Russia in 2021 - an overview of current methods

The cost of customs clearance of a car from Japan is determined individually for each car, since the main parameters of the vehicle, the year of its manufacture, and the status of the carrier are taken into account. Any citizen can check the correctness of calculations, even without resorting to complex formulas. For this purpose, a special calculator was developed, which is publicly available online. It is enough to enter all the data in a small form and in a couple of minutes the program will display the result of how much customs clearance of a car from Japan costs in each specific case.

Legal requirements for the import of vehicles

In 2021, the procedure for registering cars at the border has undergone major changes, and the innovations have affected not the sequence itself, but the determination of the cost, timing of all actions and restrictions in relation to cars (Euro 5 standard). If the vehicle does not comply with the established rules, then the carrier may be refused transportation on legal grounds. The main legal requirements regarding customs clearance of cars in Russia are:

1. Not only ordinary citizens, but also commercial companies and any legal entities can import vehicles into the territory of the Russian Federation.
2. All equipment imported into the country must meet at least the Euro-5 environmental class.
3. All payments, fees and mandatory contributions are made only in national currency, namely Russian rubles.
4. An ordinary citizen has the right to import one car per year into the country for his own needs.
5. The calculation of the cost of customs clearance is determined individually, based on the data and documents provided by the carrier.

It is important to know! When purchasing a vehicle for yourself, before driving, you must familiarize yourself with all the rules and legal requirements. This will allow you to prepare for all possible difficulties and avoid delaying the procedure.

Features of buying a car in Japan

It is most profitable to purchase a “Japanese” car in Japan, since a very low price is offered for domestic cars here. This is especially true for used options with mileage. The state has a policy of replacing gasoline cars with more environmentally friendly vehicles, so they are usually sold for pennies. But you won’t be able to buy them here second-hand, since the country has its own system for selling used equipment. There are special auctions for this purpose. The largest of them are:

• TAA.
• ARAI.
• AUCNET.
• JAA.
• BCN.
• BAYAUC.
• ASNET.

Find a great car with them

quality in any configuration easily at a competitive price. Almost all presented items will have low mileage, regular maintenance and an impeccable history (no accidents or serious breakdowns). The Japanese market is considered one of the largest, so you can find vehicles with any requirements and characteristics here. An item is entered into the auction catalog only after a thorough check, which increases the security of the transaction and gives confidence in the “cleanliness” of the car.

Features of customs clearance of goods from Japan

Japan has been one of the top ten trading partners for many years. Large volumes of trade turnover and high quality products provide great opportunities for doing business.

Procedure

It is necessary to clear a car through customs regardless of its characteristics when crossing the state border. The procedure itself is not complicated, but requires a little preparation, namely, calculating the duty on a car from Japan, collecting all certificates and documents confirming the right to a vehicle and the possibility of its release from the country. The whole procedure is carried out in several stages:

1. First of all, you need to register on the selected resource. Before doing this, you can familiarize yourself with each site and choose the best option for yourself.
2. Making a deposit for the required amount, which will presumably be spent on going through the registration process at the border. A special calculator helps you calculate the approximate cost of customs clearance of a car from Japan.
3. Filling out the declaration TD-6. You should be as careful as possible, as any inaccuracies may cause the documents to be returned. All vehicle details (number, make, model) are entered into a special form.
4. Checking the set of documents at the customs center, all data and entering them into the database.
5. After all documents are returned to the owner with a mark, the car is considered customs cleared.

Advice! If more money was deposited than necessary, the difference will be returned to customs, so when calculating the approximate cost of the process, you should make a small overpayment. It is better to make a deposit a few days before you go to pick up the car, so that when you return from the car, they will already be credited.

Required documents

Customs clearance involves the collection and provision at the border of a package of documents that contains all the necessary confirmation of the ownership and identity of the carrier. In particular, the kit includes:

• Vehicle purchase and sale agreement + additional certificates and auction order.
• Technical passport for the vehicle (PTS).
• Warranty certificate.
• Customs declaration.
• Insurance policy.
• Confirmation of payment of all contributions and state fees.
• International passport and a second identity document.

The customs calculator for cars from Japan 2021 helps you independently make all the calculations to deposit the required amount for the action of the government agency. This is a special convenient program that takes into account all the key points and factors, and allows you to get the most accurate amount, which you must take with you for registration.

Duties and taxes

Calculation of duties for cars from Japan is carried out individually, but there are a number of mandatory payments that must be made before going through the procedure. Verification is provided by checks or receipts. The main ones are:

• Customs duty.
• Customs duty.
• Single tax for individuals.
• Recycling collection.
• Value added tax (for legal entities only).

• Excise tax (for legal entities always, for individuals in exceptional cases).

Tariffs are determined by the federal authorities and may therefore change periodically. In addition, the operational characteristics of the car, environmental standardization, year of manufacture and the status of the driver are considered important in determining the final price, how much it will cost to clear a car from Japan to Russia in 2021.

It is important to know! When determining the age of a vehicle, only the factory year of manufacture is taken into account; the registration date does not matter. Paying attention to this parameter, customs officers determine the feasibility of using a car on Russian roads.

Rules for customs clearance of vehicles

In fact, customs clearance of vehicles begins even before the trip to Japan.
A few days before departure, you should decide on the model of the car, and then pay a customs deposit. You can calculate the approximate amount of customs clearance costs, focusing on the vehicle that is being purchased. The amount of the deposit depends on:

• the cost of the purchased car;
• expenses for its transportation;
• age, engine size and load capacity of the machine;
• the amount of mandatory fees;
• car owner status (individual or legal entity);
• the cost of clearance at customs (excise duty, customs duty and VAT).

When the deposit amount is paid with a reserve, customs clearance takes place without problems. If there is not enough money, the car will not pass customs.

If the value of the deposit exceeds the costs at customs, the difference will be returned to the owner within 60 days.

When making a deposit, the future owner is issued a customs receipt. The procedure may take up to 2 months.

How is the cost calculated?

A specially designed calculator 2021 will tell you how much it will cost to clear a car from Japan to Russia. To make the calculation, you just need to enter all the key data in the form provided. The main points are:

• Year of manufacture of the vehicle.
• Environmental standards.
• Engine capacity.
• Category and class of car.
• Cost of the car.

When calculating customs clearance of a car from Japan to Russia, you need to use the most current calculator for 2021 so that the amount received is as close as possible to what will be required in life. With its help, it is easy to pre-calculate the feasibility of importing a vehicle with certain parameters and equipment from this country.

Cost of customs clearance of Japanese cars and calculation examples

There is no exact amount that is spent on customs clearance of a car from Japan, since this amount depends on the characteristics of the vehicle itself and the person transporting it. Vehicle characteristics that affect the cost of customs clearance of a car are:

1. Age of the vehicle (year of initial registration of the vehicle).
2. Engine volume and power (unit of measurement - kW).
3. Environmental standard - a foreign car must pass the Ecostandard Euro B category. Otherwise, customs clearance of the car will be impossible.

The most decisive factor is the year of manufacture of the car. From it, the coefficient and category to which the vehicle will be classified are then calculated. The following categories are distinguished:

• Foreign cars less than 3 years old - the customs clearance rate depends on the price category of the vehicle. For each cm3 a rate of 48% is assigned.
• From three to 5 years – the amount of customs clearance depends on the engine size. If the indicator is less than 1.8 kW, then the tariff is 2.5 € per cm3, with 2.3 kW - 3 €, with an indicator of more than 3 kW, the tariff is almost 4 €.
• More than 5 years - if the engine power is less than one liter, then the rate is 3 € per cm3, up to 1.8 liters - 3.2 €, above three liters - 5.7 €.

Note! Cars less than 5 years old are considered the most profitable for car enthusiasts. Otherwise, the price of the vehicle will increase significantly due to an increase in the amount of customs clearance.

Cars produced more than thirty years ago are considered rare. They are a cultural property. Such cars can be transported through the territory of the Russian Federation without customs clearance.

To calculate customs clearance of a car, you can use the car customs clearance calculator.

Customs calculator online

Motorists can independently calculate the mandatory payment at the border. There is a special program for this - an online calculator. It allows you to make calculations using complex formulas, taking into account all the key parameters of the vehicle. Usually the amount received does not differ from that required to be deposited into the state treasury by customs.

But we should not forget that every six months the coefficients or the key rate changes, which also affects the process of calculating payments. Some portals make changes at the wrong time or do not do so at all, so the duty calculator for cars from Japan may be ineffective, since the amount received will be very different.

What is the procedure for customs clearance?

The procedure for customs clearance of a car from Japan depends on whether the new owner of the car is present during delivery or not.

In the first option, the owner needs:

• Fill out a declaration in form TD-6 at the customs control point at the port of unloading, indicating:

• model and make of the vehicle;
• VIN number of the car;
• that the car has the status of accompanying luggage.

• Submit documents for the vehicle to the customs control point. Internal transit will be registered with this authority, after which all papers will be returned to the owner. Upon completion of this stage, the date of arrival of the car at the customs terminal is set.
• On the designated date, leave the car in the temporary storage warehouse of the terminal. Within 1-3 working days, customs officers will check the information in the documents with the characteristics of the car.

The second option - when the owner of the vehicle does not personally accompany him - provides for him to additionally enter the name of the cargo ship and container number into the customs declaration in the TD-6 form. It is also indicated that the vehicle does not have the status of accompanied luggage.

The rest of the procedure is the same. You can pick up a car from the parking lot only after paying all customs fees and receiving the necessary papers

Possible difficulties

Japanese car auctions have not only advantages, but also a number of disadvantages, due to which the user faces certain difficulties. First of all, it should be noted that no resource provides a complete guarantee of purchasing a car in perfect condition, and that after the start of operation, it will not fail. Portals have their own approach to evaluating each position, so before purchasing it is worth clarifying the classification in order to understand which car is represented behind all the staged photos. In addition, other problems may arise:

1. For the most suitable car, another participant may offer a higher price and it will be inappropriate to purchase it.
2. Due to unnecessary upgrades and tuning, difficulties may arise with the vehicle at the border.
3. Transportation by sea from Japan to Vladivostok, if you choose the wrong company, can increase the cost of the car several times (double, sometimes triple).
4. All necessary documents for customs clearance were not collected. For import you will need a Certificate of Registration, Customs Invoice, Bill of Lading. They are usually sent by courier, but sometimes they can be forgotten without a reminder.

To avoid getting into a difficult situation, many people prefer to use the services of intermediaries. Brokers already know all the likely problems in the distillation process, so with their help the procedure is carried out faster. But do not forget that they charge extra money for their servants.

Deadlines

The established period for filling out and submitting a declaration for Japanese goods ranges from several hours to 2 working days and depends on the type of cargo, the number of items in the invoice and the number of EAEU HS codes.

The customs authority checks and releases the declaration within a few hours from the moment of its registration, if no changes are required to the declaration and all permits are provided. There are also other reasons for delay, which our company, having extensive experience, minimizes, thereby saving time and money for its clients.

Any deviation from the planned customs clearance period is fraught with downtime and additional costs for the foreign trade participant, which is why it is important to minimize all risks of increasing customs clearance time.

Responsibility for breaking the law

Violation of customs rules entails punishment provided for by current legislation. In most cases, this is a fine for illegal actions:

1. Violation of the deadline for making customs payments - 500-2500 rubles.
2. Failure to comply with the period for submitting documents for registration – 1000-2500 rubles.
3. The carrier did not comply with the restrictions provided for the import of cars into the territory of the Russian Federation - 1000-2000 rubles.
4. Untimely removal of a vehicle to the territory of the Russian Federation – 1500-2000 rubles.

In case of serious misconduct on the part of an individual or a commercial company, the vehicle will be confiscated. In special situations, the violator faces criminal liability with imprisonment or forced labor. Using a vehicle that has not undergone a certain registration procedure at the border can result in serious trouble. It is important to remember this and comply with all established requirements at customs.

Japanese cars are popular all over the world, and it is especially profitable for our compatriots to buy vehicles in this country. But the procedure and method of implementation here are slightly different, so certain difficulties may arise. Knowing the sequence and possible pitfalls, you can find the ideal vehicle and purchase it without overpayments.

Basic requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation for customs clearance of cars

In the Russian Federation, the main documents regulating customs affairs are:

• Federal Law of November 27, 2010 No. 311-FZ “On customs regulation in the Russian Federation”;
• Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated December 28, 2004 No. 863 “On the rates of customs duties for customs operations” (to determine the amount of payments for clearance of imported goods);
• and also from January 1, 2021 - the Customs Code of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU Customs Code).

Japan has expressed interest in cooperation with the countries of the EAEU and the possible establishment of a free trade zone, but so far there is no talk directly about relations of this kind between Russia and Japan. Therefore, customs clearance of cars from Japan at the border with the Russian Federation takes place according to the rules established by the above documents for the import of personal consumption goods for countries that are not members of the EAEU.

In fact, the rules for importing a car from Japan to Russia are the same as for any vehicle from Europe

Features of buying a car in Japan

Before buying a Japanese car, you should decide: do you want to do everything yourself or are you ready to entrust the hassle to numerous companies whose specialization is the purchase and transportation of cars from Japan. In the first case, there is clearly a risk, and knowledge of the Japanese language, which can be useful here, is rare in our country. The second option is much more convenient, but is associated with additional costs.

In any case, the car will be purchased at auction - this is the most common form of selling passenger cars in Japan. The intrepid independent buyer will need:

• understand several types of auctions,
• correlate the defects the car has with the auction estimate,
• place a bet.

Each lot is accompanied by an expert assessment; professionals advise that you be sure to read it in translated form in order to have an idea in advance about all the features of the future purchase.

Car auctions are not much different in appearance from financial institutions, such as stock exchanges.

Hundreds of cars are offered per trading day, and you can view in detail the photographs and technical characteristics of the desired car. If you decide to take it, click on the appropriate button. Needless to say, each broker has a deposit at the auction, from where the transaction amount is withdrawn. You can't click the buy button and then change your mind. Some of the cars you go and look at in person before buying (all of them are displayed in the yard and in the multi-level parking lot), the other part you buy without a visual assessment. One of the advantages of buying a car at auction is the fact that the auction itself conducts a pre-sale inspection of all cars. The seller brings his car to the auction parking lot, leaves all the necessary documents including his own description of the technical condition, pays the auction a certain amount of commission from 100 to 300 dollars (depending on the category) for the right to exhibit his car. Then the auction appraisers look at his car, test it and issue their pre-sale assessment. As a rule, the checks are very serious and the assessment of auction specialists can be trusted. Even if the seller hid something, they will definitely find it.
