Procedure for transfer of goods for personal use by individuals through customs border of the Customs Union

Currently, the Russian Federation is a country, which is a member of the Customs Union.

The common customs territory of the Customs Union is made up of the territories of the Republic of Belarus, Republic of Kazakhstan, and the Russian Federation. The limits of the common customs territory of the Customs Union are the customs borders of the Customs Union.

Transfer of goods across the customs border of the Customs Union is regulated by the customs legislation of the Customs Union.

Customs legislation of the Customs Union defines the following concepts.

Goods are any movable property transferred across the customs border including the media, the currency of members of the Customs Union, securities and (or) currency values, traveler's checks, etc.

Goods for personal use are the goods intended for personal, family, household and other non-business activities, the needs of individuals moved across the customs border in accompanied or unaccompanied baggage or otherwise.

Indivisible goods for personal use are the goods for personal use weighing more than 35 kilograms, consisting of one unit or one set of goods, including roaming exploded, unassembled, incomplete or unfinished goods, provided that the same has the basic property of complete or finished product.

Accompanied baggage is the goods for personal use including hand luggage directly moved by an individual who crosses the customs border.

When crossing the customs border of the Customs Union by air, the following shall be subject to customs declaration (passenger customs declaration shall be filled):

1) imported goods, which customs value exceeds the equivalent of EUR 10,000 and (or) the total weight is more than 50 kg;

A declarant of the goods moved across the customs border can be both a person of the state, a member of the Customs Union and a stranger.
