Features
Customs declaration of goods is the central stage of the complex process of transportation of goods carried out at the state borders. Unfortunately, the imperfection of the current legislation complicates the process of registration. Russian customs law is at the initial stage of development today, so laws are often changed. As a result, it is difficult, and sometimes simply impossible, for non-specialists to declare goods in accordance with the necessary requirements. You need to know about the correct execution of documents and about entering information into a special form in accordance with the instructions.
Main goals
It is worth considering the problems on the example of such an important document as a customs cargo declaration.
