Limiting purchases at foreign shops
Russians may limit buying in foreign online stores
The Federal Customs Service (FCS) of Russia proposes to reduce the number of duty-free parcels from foreign online stores up to one month. In addition, it is intended to reduce the maximum value of duty-free shopping abroad. However, no specific amounts of customs officials do not call
Now the Russians have to pay customs duties when the parcel for one person exceed a cost of € 1000, a weight of 31 kg per month. The fee - 30% of the customs value of not less than 4 euros for 1 kg. "We need to lower the threshold and weight. It is necessary to reduce the number of movements in favor of one individual to once a month, "- says the head of the Federal Customs Service Andrei Belyaninov.
Russian customs officials are discussing the possibility of introducing special taxes on overseas online purchases from the beginning of 2013. Back in late October, the head of the Federal Customs Service Andrei Belyaninov said that foreign internet purchases "growing like a snowball, and are falling budget revenues in relation to these trade parties." Customs suspects that when ordering overseas buyers can break up the party and the trade thus evade customs duties, - according to the website service.
