Russian Federation ATA Carnet Procedures

Dear Member,

In the letter sent to our Chamber by TOBB, the letter dated 01.03.2022 and numbered 72431847, sent by the Customs Counsellor's Office of the Ministry at the Embassy in Moscow and received from the Directorate General of Customs of the Ministry of Trade, states in summary that the letter dated 16.02.2022 and numbered 8061 received from the Federal Customs Service (FCS) of the Russian Federation sets out the typical errors made in ATA Carnets used for the entry of exhibition and fair goods arriving in the Russian Federation under temporary importation, within the framework of the issues raised at the 4th Joint Customs Committee Meeting held between our country and the Russian Federation on 22.10.2021;

that participation from our country in fairs held in the Russian Federation takes place at both national and individual level; that, for fairs with national participation, the necessary information notes on issuing ATA Carnets are conveyed to companies through the organiser company prior to participation, warnings on current problems are given and the necessary coordination process is likewise carried out in coordination with the organiser; but that, particularly at fairs with individual participation, various participating companies do not show the necessary care regarding the current practices in the Russian Federation and the matters to be observed under the legislation in force, and that fair goods may even be brought in as accompanied passenger baggage without an ATA Carnet being issued, and that the detection of this by Russian Customs officials results in losses for the companies;

and accordingly it is reported that, in order to ensure that companies participating in fair organisations held in the Russian Federation do not suffer any losses when entering the country, it is deemed useful that they be earnestly warned about the matter at regular intervals, that they remain in contact with the Counsellor's Office without fail during preparations for fair participation, and that they examine in detail the information reports available at the link https://ticaret.gov.tr/yurtdisi-teskilati/avrupa/rusyafederasyonu/raporlar/musavirlik-raporlari.

For your information, ATA Carnets issued in particular for the Russian Federation must be carefully checked before being printed from the automation system put into operation by our Union, and any errors must be corrected.
