Conclusion

Our legislation in the field of customs law is very unstable and vulnerable, so it is difficult for an unprepared person to keep track of all the numerous changes and competently carry out the declaration of goods on their own, correctly prepare all the documents necessary for registration. Moreover, in accordance with the instructions, according to which all the necessary information must be filled in.

The role and importance of declaring for customs purposes is very high. When declaring a participant foreign economic activity declares the basic information about the goods: their names, cost, weight, information about packaging, codes according to the commodity nomenclature of foreign economic activity, the customs procedure under which they are placed.

The goal of the control work is fulfilled:

.The characteristic of declaring as an integral part of the customs operation is given;

.The types and forms of declaration are considered;

The types of goods that are subject to declaration in writing are considered.

Customs Union (CU)- a form of international economic integration of countries, occupying an intermediate position from a free trade area to economic union(Explanatory Dictionary of Customs Law). A customs union is also an agreement between two or more states to abolish customs duties between them, a form of collective protectionism. According to Art. XIV GATT customs union involves the replacement of several customs territories by one (single customs territory) with the complete abolition of customs duties within the customs union. At the same time, the countries that are members of the customs union apply a single customs tariff and other common measures to regulate trade in goods with third countries, including customs rules and procedures (Treaty on the Creation of a Single Customs Territory and the Formation of the Customs Union).

According to the Customs Code of the Customs Union (CC CU), one of the components of the customs business is the procedure for individuals to move goods for personal use across the customs border of the Customs Union (CU CU) and perform customs operations related to their release. The legislation of the Russian Federation on customs, in turn, contains several reference norms in terms of regulating the procedure for the movement of goods by individuals for personal use (Article 317 of the Federal Law of November 27, 2010 N 311-FZ "On Customs Regulation in the Russian Federation") .

Due to the fact that it is traditionally one of the problem areas of customs activity, in the customs legislation of the Customs Union a significant place is given to the regulation of the procedure for the movement of goods by individuals for personal use across the customs border of the Customs Union, as well as the implementation of customs operations in relation to these goods.
In addition, according to the Federal Customs Service of Russia, a significant part of crimes and offenses in the movement of goods and vehicles across the customs border falls on goods moved by individuals under the guise of goods for personal use. Thus, out of the total number of cases on administrative offenses initiated in 2009, 47% are accounted for by individuals, and the main number of cases were initiated in connection with non-declaration or false declaration of goods and (or) vehicles, non-declaration or false declaration by individuals of foreign currency or currency of the Russian Federation, non-export or failure to re-import goods and (or) vehicles by individuals and illegal movement of goods and (or) vehicles across the customs border. Such statistics, in our opinion, confirms the need for closer attention of executive authorities that carry out state control for the movement of goods by individuals across the customs border.

Understanding the specifics of the movement by individuals of goods for personal use through the Customs Code of the Customs Union and the customs operations performed in the course of such movement is a prerequisite for a correct understanding of the process and, as a result, compliance by individuals directly customs regulations, legislation of the Russian Federation and international treaties of the Russian Federation in the field of customs.
Observed in last years the constant increase in passenger traffic through the TG TS necessitates a reduction in the time for customs operations in relation to goods transported by individuals for personal use. At the same time, it seems that the reduction of time for customs operations will adversely affect the effectiveness of control measures.
In this regard, the problem of developing a system of customs control of goods transported through the CG CU by individuals with the simultaneous simplification of customs operations and a reduction in the time for their implementation seems to be very relevant.
In accordance with general principles regulating the movement of goods by individuals for personal use through the Customs Code of the Customs Union and the performance of customs operations related to their release, all individuals on an equal footing have the right to import goods into and export from Russia.
Under in this case, in accordance with paragraph 36 of Art. 4 of the Customs Code of the Customs Union refers to goods intended for personal, family, household and other, not related to the implementation entrepreneurial activity, the needs of individuals moving across the customs border in accompanied or unaccompanied baggage, international mail or otherwise.
All methods of moving goods for personal use are listed in Art. 353 of the Customs Code of the Customs Union, namely in accompanied or unaccompanied baggage, as goods delivered by the carrier, as well as in international mail in accordance with Ch. 44 TK TS (Fig. 1).

Rice. 1. Ways to move goods for personal use

Compliance with the requirements and conditions for the movement of goods is of great practical importance for the purposes of using the simplified procedure for the movement of goods by individuals. It is the goods transported by these methods that are subject (subject to other requirements) to the movement in a simplified manner, and in relation to such goods (not exceeding quantitative and cost restrictions), exemption from customs duties and taxes is possible.
However, first you need to determine the purpose of the goods, i.e. determine whether they are goods for business (production) activities or goods for personal use.
The classification of goods transported by individuals through the Customs Code of the Customs Union as goods for personal use is carried out by the customs authority using a risk management system based on the statement of an individual about the goods transported in oral or written form using a passenger customs declaration, the nature and quantity of goods, the frequency of crossing the physical person and the movement of goods by him through the TG TS (clause 1, article 3 of the Agreement between the Government of the Russian Federation, the Government of the Republic of Belarus and the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated June 18, 2010 "On the procedure for the movement by individuals of goods for personal use across the customs border of the Customs Union and the commission customs operations related to their release").

In practice, officials of the customs authorities indicated criteria for determining the destination of goods are applied in the following order:
- the nature of the goods, i.e. their consumer properties, traditional practice of application and use (for example, the movement of goods that are not usually used in everyday life, gives reason to believe that such goods are moved for entrepreneurial activities);
- the quantity of goods (for example, the movement of homogeneous goods of the same name, size, style, color, etc. in excess of the need of the person moving the goods and his family members, as a rule, is considered as the movement of goods for entrepreneurial activity);
- the frequency of movement of goods across the customs border (for example, the periodic movement of similar goods by the same person, even in small quantities, is considered as the movement of goods for entrepreneurial activity. In addition, homogeneous goods sent in international mail in small quantities by one and by the same person or addressed to the same person at the same time or within one week, may be considered as not intended for the personal use of the addressee).
An innovation in customs legislation in determining the destination of goods is the use by the customs authorities of a risk management system, which is quite justified, since it is often necessary to carry out appropriate control measures to determine the destination of goods transported by individuals, the procedure for which is regulated by the Order of the Federal Customs Service of Russia dated January 11, 2008 No. 11 (Order of the Federal Customs Service of Russia dated January 11, 2008 No. 11 "On approval of the Instruction on the actions of customs officials in the preparation and review of draft risk profiles, the application of risk profiles during customs control, their updating and cancellation").

It should be noted that the determination of the destination of goods remains the prerogative of customs officials, since each case of movement of goods by individuals for personal use is purely individual.
When deciding on the destination of goods, customs officials should take into account such factors as: family composition; the usual human need for transportable goods; place of work or its absence; place of residence (a person of a state - a member of the Customs Union, a foreign person, if the person of a state - a member of the Customs Union is a city, regional center, etc.), proximity of the place of residence to the border; circumstances of the trip (purpose and frequency), circumstances of previous trips; range of transported goods; availability of documents confirming the legal purchase in retail; frequency of movement of identical goods by different individuals; other factors established during the interview of the person.
As documents confirming the absence of facts of repeated movement of homogeneous goods over a certain period of time, passenger customs declarations with a release mark or declarations with registration refusals issued by customs officials are taken into account. Such declarations are accepted by customs officials as proof of the fact that, despite the frequent crossing of the border, no goods were imported by the person.
For the purpose of determining the purpose of the exported goods, only the application of individuals for their purchase on the CU CT is considered (taking into account Annex 1 to the Agreement "On the procedure for the movement of goods by individuals for personal use through the CU TC and customs operations related to their release"). At the same time, this statement can be documented on the basis of the relevant identification labels, tags, etc. on the goods and / or on their packaging.
The current customs regulations for goods transported by individuals for personal use contain list of goods not related to goods for personal use:
- natural diamonds;
- exported goods in respect of which the legislation of the member states of the Customs Union establishes export customs duties, with the exception of the following goods: fish, seafood (except for sturgeon caviar) in the amount of not more than 5 kg; caviar of sturgeon fish species weighing no more than 250 grams; fuel located in ordinary tanks of a vehicle for personal use, as well as in an amount not exceeding 10 liters, located in a separate container; exported precious metals and precious stones with a customs value of more than 25 thousand US dollars in equivalent;
- central heating boilers;
- engines internal combustion, with the exception of engines for watercraft;
- mowers (other than mowers for lawns, parks or sports grounds), machines for making hay, harvesting, machines or mechanisms for threshing, presses for baling straw and hay;
- machines, mechanisms, equipment (classified in various headings according to the FEACN of the CU) (Unified customs tariff of the Customs Union of the Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation (CCT). Approved by the decision of the Interstate Council of the EurAsEC dated November 27, 2009 N 18, decision Commission of the Customs Union dated November 27, 2009 N 130). For example, equipment for the production or finishing of felt or felt or nonwovens in a piece or in a cut, including equipment for the production of felt hats (code according to TN VED TS 8449 00 000 0), devices and equipment for detecting or measuring ionizing radiation (code according to TN VED TS 9030 10 000 0), etc.;
- solariums for sunbathing;
- tractors, special-purpose motor vehicles, except for those used for the carriage of goods or passengers; self-propelled industrial vehicles not equipped with lifting or loading devices;
- trailers for transportation of cars;
- ships, boats and floating structures, with the exception of yachts and other floating recreational and sports facilities, rowing boats and canoes;
- medical equipment and equipment, with the exception of those necessary for use en route or for medical reasons;
- apparatus and equipment for photographic laboratories;
- devices, apparatus and models intended for demonstration purposes;
- medical, surgical, dental or veterinary furniture; barber chairs and similar chairs;
- games powered by coins, banknotes, bank cards, tokens or similar means of payment;
- goods subject to export control in accordance with the legislation of the state - a member of the Customs Union.
This list is not exhaustive, which determines the presence of in-depth professional skills and knowledge of customs officials in this area.
Simultaneously with the presentation of goods for personal use to the customs authority by individuals, when they cross the customs border, a customs declaration is carried out.
Customs declaration of goods for personal use, with the exception of those sent in international mail and placed under the customs procedure customs transit, is made in writing using passenger customs declaration (PTD)(The form of the passenger customs declaration, the procedure for its completion, submission and registration are determined by the decision of the Commission of the Customs Union of June 18, 2010 N 287 "On approval of the form of the passenger customs declaration and the Procedure for filling out the passenger customs declaration").

An individual has the right, at his own request, to declare goods for personal use that are not subject to customs declaration in writing, using the PDD.
It should be noted that the statement by an individual to the customs authority of information about the goods being moved and other information necessary for the release of goods is a customs declaration.
In accordance with paragraph 3 of Art. 179 of the Customs Code of the Customs Union, customs declaration is carried out in written and (or) electronic forms using a customs declaration. At the same time, Art. 98 of the Customs Code of the Customs Union indicates that the declarant, who is an individual, is obliged "to submit to the customs authorities the documents and information necessary for customs control, in oral, written and (or) electronic forms."
At the same time, Art. 3 of the Agreement dated June 18, 2010 "On the procedure for the movement of goods for personal use by individuals across the customs border of the Customs Union and the performance of customs operations related to their release" contains the wording that the classification of goods as goods for personal use is carried out on the basis of " statements of an individual about the goods being moved in oral or written form using the passenger customs declaration.
In this regard, it is not entirely clear what constitutes an oral statement by an individual about goods being moved. In our opinion, it is necessary to harmonize the customs legislation, which would allow uniform interpretation of the customs declaration forms. One should agree with O.Yu. Bakaeva, who notes that with the adoption of the Customs Code of the Customs Union, the oral and implicit declaration forms have been excluded. In turn, some authors, still defining the movement of goods for personal use as a "special customs procedure", argue that "customs legislation provides for both oral and written declaration of goods moved across the border of the country of the Customs Union." Although, on what this assertion is based is not explained.

It should also be noted that earlier in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation (Customs Code of the Russian Federation dated May 28, 2003 N 61-FZ. The document becomes invalid from October 1, 2011 due to the adoption of Federal Law dated November 27, 2010 N 311-FZ ) (Article 124 - currently no longer in force) there was a conclusive (as a kind of oral) form for the declaration of information by individuals by performing actions indicating that the hand luggage and accompanied luggage of an individual does not contain goods subject to declaration in writing , and there are no goods transported by unaccompanied baggage, for the purpose of which the system of "red" and "green" corridors was created (Order of the Federal Customs Service of Russia dated November 22, 2006 N 1208 "On Approval of the Procedure for Declaring Goods by Individuals in Conclusive Form" - is now invalid).

Based on paragraph 2 of Art. 6 of the Agreement on the procedure for the movement by individuals of goods for personal use through the CU CU and the performance of customs operations related to their release at the places of arrival on the CU TC or departure from the CU TC, a double corridor system can be used.
Wherein "green corridor is a specially designated place intended for movement by individuals across the customs border in accompanied baggage of goods for personal use that are not subject to customs declaration, while such persons do not have unaccompanied baggage, and the "red" corridor is a specially designated place intended for movement by individuals persons across the customs border in the accompanied baggage of goods subject to customs declaration, as well as goods in respect of which declaration is carried out at the request of an individual.
The requirements applicable to the arrangement of the double corridor system at the points of arrival of goods in the customs territory of the Customs Union and departure from this territory were approved by the decision of the Customs Union Commission dated May 20, 2010 N 259 (Decision of the Customs Union Commission dated May 20, 2010 N 259 " On the requirements applicable to the arrangement of the double corridor system at the points of arrival of goods in the customs territory of the Customs Union and departure from this territory. In addition, the Order of the Federal Customs Service of Russia of August 9, 2010 N 1471 defines the List of places of arrival in the customs territory of the Customs Union or departure from this territory, in which the dual corridor system is used (Order of the Federal Customs Service of Russia of August 9, 2010 N 1471 "On determining List of places of arrival in the customs territory of the Customs Union or departure from this territory, where the dual corridor system is used, as well as the procedure for its formation").

If with red corridor everything is clear - the declaration is carried out in writing, it seems difficult to qualify the actions of individuals in the "green" corridor. In our opinion, the FCS of Russia needs clarification on this matter. Especially with regard to whether the presence of an individual in the "green" corridor is evidence that he has completed the necessary actions and operations to submit information to the customs authority. If yes, then from what moment: from the moment of entering the "green" corridor or at the moment of leaving it. Recall that earlier there was another problem for the customs authorities. After an individual made a declaration in implicit form (i.e., in fact, passed through the "green" corridor), officials of the customs authorities, before conducting customs control, this individual was asked to declare information in writing by submitting a PDD. Such actions of customs officials were recognized by the courts as unlawful, since the person had already declared the goods in an implicit form.
All of the above means that the complex development of the problem chosen as the subject of this study determines the conduct of further research in this direction. In our opinion, the shortcomings of customs legislation noted in this article should be eliminated, which will make it possible to avoid problems and difficulties that arise when moving goods for personal use.

In accordance with Article 4 of the Customs Code of the Customs Union, customs declaration is a statement by the declarant to the customs authority of information about the goods, about the chosen customs procedure and other information necessary for the release of goods.

Let's compare this definition with what was in the Customs Code of the Republic of Belarus (TC RB). In this regard, it must be said that in the Labor Code of the Republic of Belarus there is no general concept customs declaration. It contains only the concept of customs declaration of goods. Thus, in accordance with Article 74 of the Customs Code of the Republic of Belarus, the customs declaration of goods consists in submitting a customs declaration to the customs authority in the form of a written or electronic document, which contains the information necessary for placing goods under the customs regime or for other purposes established by laws and acts of the President of the Republic of Belarus.

It should be noted that the Customs Code of the Customs Union and the Customs Code of the Republic of Belarus contain a different understanding of the terms customs declaration. So, in contrast to the Labor Code of the Republic of Belarus, the Customs Code of the Customs Union refers to the provision of information necessary for placing goods under the customs procedure, and it does not say in what form they should be provided. Customs declaration in the Customs Code of the Republic of Belarus is understood as an action consisting in the submission of a customs declaration to the customs authority in the form of a written or electronic document. According to the author, the understanding of the customs declaration provided for in the Customs Code of the Customs Union more accurately defines this phenomenon, since the essence of the declaration lies in the receipt by the customs authority of information about the goods necessary to place the goods under the customs procedure, and the provision of a customs declaration to the customs officer is only one of ways to obtain such information.

Declaration is designed to perform several main functions:

provides the customs authorities with the information necessary for customs purposes on goods and vehicles transported across the border;

serves as a confirmation of the legality of actions performed by the declarant (the person making the declaration) in relation to goods and vehicles placed by him under the chosen customs regime;

has a control function, the essence of which is that, on the basis of the declaration, the customs authorities check the compliance of the declared information about goods and vehicles with the actual data.

Declaration entails certain legal consequences. From the moment of declaring, obligations arise to pay customs duties and taxes. If an unreliable declaration is revealed, the declaration serves as evidence of the offense or crime committed.

Relations regarding the declaration are administrative in nature, as they arise between the customs authorities as carriers of public state power, and on the other hand - by declarants and other persons.

Goods are subject to customs declaration when placed under the customs procedure or in other cases established by the legislation of the customs union.

Customs declaration of goods is carried out by the declarant or a customs representative acting on behalf and on behalf of the declarant.

Goods are declared at the customs body of the Republic of Belarus, where they are released.

Vehicles carrying goods are declared simultaneously with goods, with the exception of river and aircraft, which are declared at the port or airport of arrival in the customs territory of the Customs Union or at the port or airport of departure from the customs territory of the Customs Union.

Empty vehicles and vehicles carrying passengers are declared when crossing the customs border of the Customs Union.

The customs declaration is submitted within the time limits established by the Customs Code of the Customs Union and decisions of the Commission of the Customs Union of Belarus. When individuals move goods across the customs border of the Customs Union for non-commercial purposes in hand luggage and accompanied baggage, the customs declaration is submitted simultaneously with the presentation of goods.

General issues of the declaration procedure, inherent both for all types of declarations, and for its individual types, are provided for in the Customs Code of the Customs Union. Detailed regulation occurs through special legal acts of the customs union.

The list of information to be indicated in the customs declaration is limited only to the information that is necessary for the calculation and collection of customs payments, the formation of customs statistics and the application of the customs legislation of the customs union and other legislation of the member states of the customs union.

The submission of a customs declaration must be accompanied by the submission to the customs authority of the documents on the basis of which the customs declaration is completed, unless otherwise provided by this Code. The list of such documents is provided for in paragraph 1 of Article 183 of the Customs Code of the Customs Union.

Transport, commercial or other documents containing information necessary for the release of goods in accordance with the customs procedure may be used as a customs declaration. The customs declaration can be submitted as an electronic document

If individual documents on the basis of which the customs declaration is filled out cannot be submitted when submitting the customs declaration, at the declarant's reasoned request, the customs authority allows the submission of such documents before the release of goods, and in cases provided for by the legislation of the member states of the customs union - after the release of goods .

When customs declaring goods, original documents or their copies are presented. The customs authority has the right to check the conformity of copies of the submitted documents with their originals in cases established by the legislation of the states - members of the customs union.

The customs declaration is submitted by the declarant or the customs representative to the customs authority authorized to register customs declarations.

The customs authority registers or refuses to register the customs declaration within a period not exceeding 2 (two) hours from the moment the customs declaration is submitted

The customs authority refuses to register a customs declaration if:

As part of the work, we will consider the legal framework that directly regulates the procedure for customs declaration of goods transported across the customs border of the Customs Union.

Since, in customs law international legal acts have the highest legal force, we will consider them first.

A novelty in customs legislation is the Customs Code of the Customs Union Customs Code of the Customs Union (Annex to the Treaty on the Customs Code of the Customs Union decision Interstate Council of the Eurasian Economic Community dated November 27, 2009 No. 17) (as amended on April 16, 2010) // Collection of Legislation of the Russian Federation 13.12.2010, No. 50, art. 6615., which entered into force on the territory of the Russian Federation on July 1, 2010, the rules of which have direct effect.

The Customs Code of the Customs Union included all the most required provisions necessary for international cooperation and interaction.

Chapter 27 "Customs Declaration of Goods" of the Customs Code of the Customs Union includes 16 articles that characterize general provisions on customs declaration of goods (Article 179); lists the types of customs declarations and their characteristics (Art. 180-182); attention is paid to documents submitted during customs declaration (Article 182); the deadlines for filing a customs declaration are indicated (Article 185); characterizes the declarant, his rights and obligations, as well as responsibility (Art. 186-189); the procedure for filing and registering a customs declaration, as well as making changes and additions to it (Articles 190-192), is regulated.

The Russian Federation has signed a number of international agreements and decisions affecting the process of customs declaration of goods, here is an example of some of them:

Decision of the Commission of the Customs Union of 20.05.2010 N 257 "On Instructions for filling out customs declarations and forms of customs declarations" (together with the "Instructions on the procedure for filling out a declaration for goods") regulates the procedure for filling out a customs declaration and provides its forms. Decision of the Commission of the Customs Union dated 20.05.2010 No. 257 (as amended on 22.06.2011) "On the Instructions for filling out customs declarations and forms of customs declarations" (together with the "Instruction on the procedure for filling out a declaration for goods") // Official website of the Commission of the Customs Union Access mode http://www.tsouz.ru/.

I would like to note that administrative offenses in the field of customs (violations of customs rules) are regulated by the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. Thus, the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation contains chapter 16 “Administrative offenses in the field of customs (violations of customs rules)”, which contains 23 elements of administrative offenses in the field of customs, of which 5 compositions are devoted specifically to the process of declaring goods:

Article 16.2. Failure to declare or false declaration of goods and (or) vehicles;

Article 16.4. Failure to declare or false declaration by individuals of foreign currency or the currency of the Russian Federation;

Article 16.7. Submission of invalid documents during customs clearance;

Article 16.12. Failure to comply with the deadlines for filing a customs declaration or submission of documents and information;

The Law of the Russian Federation "On the Customs Tariff" also regulates legal relations when declaring goods. In particular, the Law determines the customs value of goods when changing the customs procedure.

On the issues of declaration, a number of normative acts of the Federal customs service of the Russian Federation, including the Order of the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation of December 3, 2010 N 2330 "On places of declaration certain types goods".
