Unofficial import of new cars is becoming unprofitable due to the gross inflated prices of cars included in the “price lists” of the Ministry of Industry and Trade for customs clearance of cars. In this respect reports Telegram channel No Limits with a link to automatic offers. It is stated that the price bases stated in the Ministry’s records are 30-40% higher than the actual prices in China. As an example, professional sellers show the Zeekr 001 You car.
“Considering the actual purchase price of the car, including its delivery throughout China, the total amount of taxes, duties and excise duty in Russia should be approximately 2.3 million rubles. This is approximately 55% of the cost. And the estimated sales price of this car is 7.35 million rubles. However, customs decided that they, not the manufacturer, should be responsible for pricing in China and set their own price for this model, which was 38% more expensive than the manufacturer’s price! Taxes on this cost will be 3.21 million rubles. In other words, the sales price will increase by 910 thousand rubles and reach approximately 8.26 million rubles,” the message says.
There are 3.3 thousand items in the list of the Ministry of Industry and Trade. These include cars of brands officially available in Russia, as well as models imported through parallel imports.
In the Russian Federation, the procedure for calculating the amount of payment for the import of cars from the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) to the Russian Federation has changed. The relevant decree of the Russian government came into force on April 1. Therefore, taxes and duties that are no longer paid due to understatement of the customs value of cars imported from EAEU countries to the Russian Federation will be taken into account as part of the recycling fee. Nothing will change for citizens and companies that import vehicles from these union countries directly through the customs clearance procedure in Russia.
In addition, the customs clearance procedure for electric motor vehicles imported from EAEU countries must now be carried out in the Russian Federation.
Previously reportedThe average price of a used car in Russia reaches 800 thousand rubles.
