During the audit, the following types of violations of customs legislation were identified:
– unjustified application of a preferential tariff regime;
– incorrect tariff classification of imported goods resulting in the application of a reduced amount of customs duties;
– failure to correctly identify the final destination of goods that received tax exemptions upon import.
At the same time, due to the voluntary compliance of economic operators, the corresponding import duties were recalculated, which will allow for the collection of additional funds for the state budget.
In this regard, customs officials remind economic operators that if they notify the Customs Service of erroneous information in customs documents before it is detected by customs authorities, they may be exempt from financial liability provided they voluntarily and fully pay the import duties and fines owed prior to the date sanctions are imposed.
