30 April, 11:25

In the goal of facilitating the smooth entry to the customs-regulated territory of the Russian Federation for representatives of the foreign mass media, such individuals should have the documentation required for the ATA Carnet system for the professional equipment that they are transporting with them, which may be obtained from the issuing authorities in the country in which they carry out their professional activities.

The ATA Carnet system involves the participation of the customs authorities of the Russian Federation and ATA Carnet is accepted as a Customs Declaration and an internationally effective guarantee regarding the payment of the applicable customs duties, provided that the documentation properly indicates the name of the issuing association and the relevant international guaranteeing network, and that it includes information filled out in the prescribed manner by the issuing association, which is the holder of the ATA Carnet and appropriately formalized by the customs authorities of the exporting country.

At the same time, on the front side of the ATA Carnet, the issuing associations of the member-countries of the Convention must be specified: the Russian Federation and the name of the guaranteeing association - TPP of Russia.

The ATA Carnet is presented by the customs authorities of the Russian Federation upon the import of professional equipment by foreign correspondents to the customs-regulated territory of the Russian Federation and the carrying of such equipment upon its return.

In the case that the person directly concerned regarding the ATA Carnet is absent, then the customs clearance of the respective professional equipment may otherwise be made in accordance with established national procedures.
