At the moment, there are 2 main markets from which imported cars are supplied to us. These are the USA and Germany. And since in the first case the cost of delivery can reach several thousand dollars (payment for ferry services), in the second case you can bring a car for 300 euros, provided that you do all this yourself. However, driving a car is only half the trouble, because it also needs to be cleared through customs.
And this is where car owners may have problems and confusion. In this article, we will try to tell you in detail how to clear a car from Germany, and what you should know before leaving.
How to proceed?
First of all, notify customs in advance that you are going to import a car from abroad. This is done exclusively in writing. After that, customs will require a deposit to be paid to the account. MATP (Moscow Motor Transport Customs Post) or to the account of MOATP (Moscow Regional Motor Transport Customs Post). The money you paid will be taken into account when clearing the car at the border. In fact, the cost of payments should be reduced. However, be careful - in the event that you change your mind about importing a car, the deposit will be returned to you within 2-3 years, so think ahead and make important decisions.
Before you clear the car from Germany, you should drive it to the territory of Russia. Paperwork begins upon arrival of the car at the customs point. The import of the vehicle will only be allowed when it has been identified. You must have a certificate of control over the delivery of the car. Do not forget to pay customs duties as well. Next, you should send the car to the MATP or MOATP. You need to arrive early and get in line. On the appointed day, file a notice that the vehicle has arrived at the location. After that, you should place the car in the temporary storage warehouse and conclude an agreement there. Next, the inspector will inspect the vehicle. If necessary, you can make an independent assessment of the car. After completing the relevant documents, your car will be completely legal for operation on the territory of Russia.
Pay attention
Thinking about how to clear a car from Germany, consider one nuance. Some car enthusiasts claim that customs clearance of broken cars willcost less. This is fundamentally wrong. Payment of customs duty is carried out based on the year of manufacture of the car and the working volume of its engine. When learning how to clear a truck from Germany, check whether it meets the EURO-2, 3, etc. standards. The inspectors do not take into account the rest. And let the vehicle be with broken windows and a mangled body, the price of the duty will still be the same.
