What are customs control zones and what are they for? Customs control of goods takes place in accordance with the code of the country that carries it out. Customs control is carried out by customs authorities at control points or locations where cargo that crosses the border resides.

What are customs control zones?

The control zone is the territory through which goods transported across the Russian border must pass. As a rule, zones are designed specifically to store cargo for some time and carry out operations on it. It is in these areas that inspections, searches and actions required by law must be carried out. However, there are a number of actions carried out without organizing control zones by customs authorities. This is, for example:
  1. Inspections that cargo undergoes as part of an on-site inspection customs inspection or when stopping a vehicle.
  2. Customs inspections carried out during an on-site inspection.
As a rule, control zones can have permanent status if they are located in places where goods are constantly being moved. There is also the possibility of organizing temporary customs control zones, which make it possible to perform any actions required by law.

Where do such zones form?

As a rule, legislation clearly regulates the formation of customs control zones. They can be created:
  1. Directly near the US state border.
  2. Where customs clearance is carried out.
  3. Where goods are handled, processed and inspected.
  4. Where temporary storage of goods is carried out.
  5. Where vehicles that transport goods that are subject to customs control in accordance with the law are stopped and idle.
  6. In other territories determined by law.

Temporary zones of control by customs authorities

To create a non-permanent zone, it is extremely important to obtain a decision on this, issued in writing. It must belong to the head of the customs authority. The reason for making such a decision may be:
  1. Carrying out customs control in places other than those intended for this purpose.
  2. If it is necessary to carry out an inspection or inspection of cargo that was found by customs officers outside the control zones carried out by the customs authorities.
Constant type control zones
ZTK are premises or open areas that make it possible to carry out all the necessary actions. Such zones, as a rule, should be marked with special marks - signs that are green. They are marked in shades of white with an inscription in two languages ​​that defines the territory. In a situation where a zone has a large number of fences, rooms and walls on its territory, the message that the territory has the status of a customs control zone should be duplicated on them too.
