What is Customs fee?

A payment charged for the customs authority performing a specific action or procedure. The difference from duty: duty is paid for moving goods across the border, while a fee is paid for specific work performed by customs. For this reason, the Code requires that the amount of a fee not exceed the approximate cost of customs' expenses for that work. Fee rates are set by the Cabinet of Ministers. The Customs Code lists seven actions for which a fee is charged:

• Customs clearance of goods
• Clearance outside the designated place or after customs working hours
• Storage of goods in a warehouse belonging to the customs authority
• Providing customs escort for a vehicle
• Issuing a preliminary decision
• Entering an intellectual property object in the customs register
• Clearance of cash foreign currency imported by a legal entity
