How much does it cost to clear a car from Lithuania through customs?

Using the car customs clearance calculator, you will calculate the amount of customs payments required for customs clearance of a passenger car or other vehicle from abroad in 2021 in accordance with the customs legislation of the Customs Union (EAEU), which currently includes Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia. In addition to the listed countries, the import of cars from Georgia, Abkhazia, Ukraine, Germany and other European countries, the USA, Japan, Uzbekistan, the UAE, Finland, and South Korea is popular in the Russian Federation.

How to clear a car through customs in Russia in 2021

With a number of changes that occurred in 2021 in the issue of importing imported cars, car enthusiasts have more and more new questions. Let's look at the intricacies: what costs fall on the payer and how to calculate customs clearance of a car in a new way?

Design features

Have you decided to become the owner of an imported car? Be prepared for the fact that first of all you will have to prove your solvency by depositing the guarantee amount. If you don’t know how to calculate the cost of customs clearance of a car, you can deposit an approximate amount into your account. In any case, unused funds will be returned by customs after complete border control.

Confirmation that you have deposited funds will be a receipt and certificate issued by the Federal Customs Service. With these documents it is much easier to travel abroad. You should also pay attention to how you will import the car: drive it yourself, sitting behind the wheel, or use container transportation. This determines whether you need to fill out the TD-6 declaration.

From January 2021, a mandatory condition for importing a car across the EAEU border is the installation of the ERA-GLONASS system on it. It must be purchased from JSC GLONASS, installed in a certified center, enter information about the VIN number and body number and obtain a vehicle design safety certificate from a special laboratory.

Documents that will be required

When entering the territory of Russia, you must present a considerable package of documents:

• original documents for the car and their copies (it is important that the data in the passport and on the body, engine, etc. completely match);
• customs receipt with a certificate issued before departure abroad;
• car insurance contract;
• GLONASS security certificate;
• customs declaration, which can be prepared in advance using the online form for pre-filling the passenger customs declaration

Insurance is important. The lack of compulsory insurance can be a significant argument for refusal to cross the border, and in some cases even threatens with a fine.

Preparatory stage

Before ordering a car, find out its year of manufacture and decide on the import method. Depending on the age of the vehicle, determine which category it falls into:

• up to 3 years – new car,
• from 3 to 5 years – passing,
• over 5 – impassable.

In the first two cases, the full duty is calculated. Note:

• The age of the vehicle is considered from the 15th day of the month of release from the manufacturer.
• The final date is the moment of submitting documents for customs clearance, and not the day of purchase. Therefore, when entering data into the customs calculator, add the approximate delivery time to the age of the car.
• The auction list usually indicates the date of sale; the year of production must be found out additionally.

For non-passable cars, the duty amount will be approximately 2 times higher than the passable category. But what if you liked, for example, the 2013 Mazda 6, known in Japan as the Mazda Atenza? In this case, you can pay an increased duty, import the car as a designer or cut. Let's consider all the options further.

What will you have to pay when importing a car into Russia?

customs duty

Customs duty is a mandatory payment when moving goods across the border, which is determined by the parameters of this product. According to current legislation, when calculating this indicator, the type of fuel used by the car, the year of manufacture of the vehicle, the volume and power of the engine are taken into account. If you have this data, you can easily find out how much customs clearance of a car will cost.

Payment of duty

The customs duty rate is fixed for each type of vehicle, approved by the Unified Customs Tariff and other regulations. However, the registration procedure is a responsible and troublesome matter. Therefore, most often, vehicle owners and people who conduct foreign economic activity resort to the services of customs representatives. And the concern about how to calculate customs clearance of a car rests with specialists.

Recycling collection

Customs officers collect a fee for the disposal of goods from wheeled vehicles. The payer independently makes the calculation, pays it to the current treasury account and provides a package of documents to the authorized body (to confirm the correctness of the calculation). It should be noted: if the car that is imported into Russia is more than 3 years old, then the payment will be higher than the same rate for a new car.

VAT

Unlike customs duty, its amount may vary depending on the type of fuel, age of the vehicle, etc. VAT is calculated based on the total amount of all payments: customs duty, duty and recycling fee.

Excise tax

Despite its ambiguity, for imported cars there is a fixed rate and depends directly on the customs value of the vehicle.

Approximate price

Approximate prices for customs clearance of cars from Lithuania are shown in the table below.

Approximate prices for customs clearance of Lithuanian cars less than three years old are shown in the table below.

Is there a way to quickly calculate customs clearance of a car?

How to calculate customs clearance of a car and cope with, at first glance, complex calculations without extra effort? The customs calculator will help you. After entering all the necessary car data, you will receive the amount of expenses that you will have to incur when purchasing an imported vehicle.

This is one of the simple ways to calculate the cost of customs clearance of a car yourself, without spending a lot of time determining each item separately and without resorting to the help of specialists.

Customs clearance of cars in Russia

Starting from 2014, the import of cars with only EURO-5 environmental class is allowed.

Customs clearance of a car from Kazakhstan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia

These countries are members of the Eurasian Economic Union and provide for a single customs territory. Belarus and Kazakhstan have the same amount of duties. After paying for them, upon entering Russia, all that remains is to pay the recycling fee and equip the GLONASS system. Belarus is also popular because of its proximity to Europe; good models go there.

There will be no significant savings with Armenia and Kyrgyzstan, although preferential customs clearance rules apply there. But at the border with Russia, you will most likely be asked to pay the remaining amount for registration, recycling fees and installation of GLONASS.

Customs clearance of electric vehicles in Russia

The taxes payable on customs clearance of electric vehicles are slightly different from the taxes payable on petrol and diesel cars.

From May 4, 2021 until the end of 2021, zero duties were introduced on the import of electric vehicles.

So, when clearing electric vehicles through customs, you must pay the following taxes:

1. Customs clearance fee
   . The fee amounts are shown below.
2. Customs duty
   .
3. Recycling fee
   . For all vehicles, including vehicles with electric motors, is calculated at uniform rates. The calculation of the recycling fee is described below.
4. VAT
   . Legal entities (always) pay, as well as individuals (only when importing electric vehicles older than 3 years). VAT is 18% of the amount: catalog value of the car + customs duty + excise tax.
5. Excise tax
   . Legal entities (always) pay, as well as individuals (only when importing electric vehicles older than 3 years). Excise tax rates are given below.

Design rules

According to generally accepted standards, when purchasing a car from Lithuania, customs clearance and further clearance must occur only with the written permission of the head of the checkpoint. Next, having the mentioned piece of paper in hand, the person collects a minimum package of documents, checks his vehicle for the absence of fines and inconsistencies with the technical passport, and drives the car to the border post.

After 3-5 days

If the vehicle remains at the border, the new owner may come to collect his movable property. But before receiving a Russian-style PTS, he will need to pay a single fee, which is 18% of the cost of the car (the import of more than one vehicle per year is prohibited for Russian citizens).

Documentation

Every driver must collect a mandatory package of documents, regardless of their status. The list of required documents for customs clearance of a car from Lithuania should include:

• Foreign and national passport;
• Guarantee certificate (issued after payment of the customs deposit);
• Certificate of purchase/sale;
• Foreign title of the car and its current insurance;
• Written declaration for the import of a vehicle into Russia.

Advice! If you use the services of a driver who will cross the border in your car once a year, then you will not need the listed papers. But this legal way of buying a car is more expensive, since you will have to pay for it every year.

Duties and taxes

The most important fee charged during customs clearance of a car from Lithuania in Russia is VAT (the calculator calculates 18% of the total cost of the vehicle). But besides this, they will also take from a person:

• Payment for registration of the car by the customs authority;
• Recycling fee;
• Imposed excise tax (paid only by legal entities).

Therefore, to calculate the actual amount payable, you need to take into account all possible fees. Otherwise, moving the car will be prohibited, and the entire procedure will have to be completed again.

Customs clearance timeframes

In accordance with the customs code,

A citizen is given 14 days to submit a declaration, collect documents and completely re-register a vehicle. If a person does not have time to carry out all the necessary manipulations during a given period, then he will have to write an application for renewal (which requires additional costs), or start the whole process from scratch. There is only one way to avoid such troubles - check all the documentation in advance.

Customs clearance fee

The amount of the fee depends only on the cost of the car.

The new customs duty rates are effective from August 1, 2020.

Recycling collection

The recycling fee is calculated using the following formula:

CS = BS * K

where BS is the base rate, K is the coefficient.

The base rate is determined by the category of the vehicle:

• passenger cars for non-commercial use – RUB 20,000.
• commercial vehicles (both cars and trucks and buses) – RUB 150,000.

Coefficient values ​​for individuals:

Coefficient values ​​for legal entities:

Recycling fee rates for legal entities were increased on April 1, 2021. The table shows the new coefficients.

Cars from Korea: brands and technical characteristics

The Kia K5/ Optima and Hyundai Sonata were the most frequently offered models.

You can also find offers for the sale of Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson (crossover). Delivering a car from Korea with gas equipment or a diesel engine, given the cost of gasoline in our country, will be the most profitable solution.

Cars equipped with 5th generation gas equipment have a number of advantages:

• LPI engine - during operation does not require the use of gasoline or any other fuel, only gas
• long resource - gas installations postpone major engine repairs by 100,000 km
• significant volume - about 900 km without refueling
• economy - 40% more economical compared to gasoline engines
• ease of maintenance - replace the filter once every 80,000 km.

The price of gasoline at gas stations in Ukraine constantly unpleasantly surprises motorists with its non-stop increase. More and more drivers are thinking about switching to alternative fuels, namely gas. In this regard, Korean cars with factory installed gas equipment are attracting more and more attention.

The secondary market of Ukraine offers cars with installed 4th generation gas equipment. The Korean market is ready to provide a more interesting option - 5th generation LPG. LPI engines do not require design changes or intervention from master technicians. In improved gas equipment there is no longer a reducer that converts gas into a vapor state. Therefore, there is no longer any need to use gasoline to cool/heat the engine.

Korean cars do not have a gas tank. There is no longer any need for it, because gas flows directly into the combustion chamber of the engine through nozzles. On the Korean market you can also see Renault Samsung, Ssangyong, GM Daewoo cars.

Many people are interested in the question: how will Korean gas equipment behave in the Ukrainian winter? The LPI engine demonstrates uninterrupted operation, absolutely calmly coping with the vagaries of the weather in Ukraine. Therefore, the car will easily start even at a temperature of -40 degrees, doing it much faster than its gasoline counterpart.

Ways to purchase a car from Korea

Like any other country, Korea has its own rules, restrictions and control system for the sale of used cars. Most often, cars that have been in operation for more than 3 years enter the market. In order to support business and promote its development, Korean legislation provides for the payment of tax on cars under 3 years old that are sent for export. In this regard, cars from 2014-2016 are coming to Ukraine.

Further, every buyer should understand that most of the cars offered for sale in Korea were used in commercial activities (taxi, delivery service, rental car). This does not at all mean flaws in the technical condition, but it is almost guaranteed to mean a mileage of 100 thousand km or more.
