Decree No. 247 features
-
If the Republic of Belarus is not indicated in the CMR as either the country of loading or the country of unloading, it is necessary to obtain a transit permit for transfer on its territory.
-
It is allowed to enter the customs zone of the EAEU in the Republic of Belarus only for carrying out cargo operations and repackaging in specially designated areas, provided that the vehicle subsequently leaves through the same checkpoint through which it entered.
-
Only transfers are allowed in the electronic queue waiting areas. Cargo operations are allowed if these places have customs control zones and special equipment for loading and unloading.
Drafting of documents for cargo handling and transfer
-
For each TSMP, whether it is a container, tractor, trailer or semi-trailer, you need to draw up a separate customs declaration.
-
The transit declaration and CMR must contain information about transhipment, re-coupling and subsequent carrier, if such data is available.
-
If, when entering the customs zone of the EAEU in the Republic of Belarus, the carrier cannot indicate information about the transfer, then they must be entered by the subsequent carrier before registering customs transit for goods.
-
Carriers of empty transport, which is sent to load and export goods, must have a document with them (order-order, contract-application, etc.) to confirm the purpose of entry.
Extension of the period of stay of the TSMP on the territory of the Republic of Belarus
In the event that the vehicle breaks down, gets into an accident or other force majeure situations, it is possible to extend the permitted period for cargo operations and re-transfer.
To do this, you need to submit an application to the head of the customs operations and control department or his deputy at the place where the permit was issued.
Use in internal transportation of trailers, semi-trailers, containers temporarily imported into the customs territory of the EAEU
Carriers that are registered in the territory of one of the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union can make international road transport without special permission:
- between the EAEU state in which the carriers are registered and another EAEU country;
- in transit through other countries that are members of the EAEU;
- between other countries that are members of the EAEU.
When making such transportation, it is necessary to comply with transport legislation.
