You are going to visit the United States. There you will get different things. Naturally, you are worried about customs issues. Whether the clothes are taxed and whether it is subject to declaration? If so, what is the amount of tax? What should be the maximum cost of the purchased goods and what tax on exceeding this amount? If you carry a pocket personal computer, whether you need to pay a fee for it? After all, it is defined as a “portable personal computer”. You will find out answers to these questions right now.
There is a procedure for transporting personal goods through the line of the Customs Union (agree. KTS from 18-06-2010). This procedure determines the standards for the delivery of goods for personal use, which are exempted from the payment of customs payments.
An individual can import personal goods in baggage – accompanied or not accompanied. The customs sum of these goods should not be higher than the equivalent of 1,500 euros, their total weight is no more than 50 kilograms. That is, you will be exempted from the payment of duties, if the cost of all the things you bought in the United States will be no more than 1,500 euros, and the weight of your baggage will not exceed 50 kilograms. If the cost of goods exceeds the bar of 1,500 euros or there will be more than the total weight of the purchased things, you will have to pay taxes and customs duties in the amount of 30% of the customs value at a single rate. But the amount of payments should not be less than four euros per kilogram of excess of the norm or value rate in the amount of 1,500 euros.
Recommendation: Do not throw away commodity and cash receipts for goods that purchased. The customs value of the goods will be determined and confirmed primarily by the originals of the documents that you will provide (Article 361 of the TC TS). A item like a pocket personal computer belongs to personal goods. It can be imported to the borders of the Customs Union (Appendix No. 1 and No. 2 of the Agreement. Commission of the Customs Union dated 18-06-2010). For him there is the same procedure for transporting personal use goods.
