On what grounds does customs issue title? Vehicle passport - what is it?

The series of customs PTS must begin with the letter “T”, for example 77 TK 123456 or 78 TE 123456. Since 2008, the series “T*” has ended and now PTS have the series “U*”. It is also worth paying attention to the correspondence between the region code (the first 2 digits before the letters in the PTS number) and the region in which the PTS was issued. It is unacceptable that the region code would be, say, 77 (Moscow), and the PTS was issued, for example, by Orenburg customs. The only exception that is allowed is the PTS issued by the Central Excise Customs (Moscow) in 2007, may have a series 78. This is due to the fact that TsAT opened a checkpoint in St. Petersburg and in 2007 they work on St. Petersburg PTS. We look at the PTS, in line No. 18 the country of export must be indicated, in line No. 19 the number of the customs declaration or technical document MUST be indicated; this is the basis for issuing the PTS. Line No. 23 should match the seal. If you are not too lazy, you can check the correspondence of the address in line No. 24 and the address where the customs office that issued the PTS is located; information about this customs office is indicated in the press and in line No. 23. If the car was imported into the Russian Federation after July 1998, the PTS must MUST be issued customs. If a vehicle imported after July 1998 has a PTS issued by the traffic police, it is either a fake, or you are holding in your hands a duplicate of the first PTS issued upon import. Pay attention to the date of issue of the duplicate PTS; it was probably issued later than the car was imported. In the duplicate, the number of the PTS on the basis of which the duplicate was issued MUST be indicated, and by this number you can understand whether it was issued by customs or not. Replacing a PTS in itself should not be scary, people for various reasons can get a duplicate, loss, ran out of space for records due to a large number of owners, theft... or they can deliberately lose a PTS several times in order to hide the number of the first one issued when importing, so carefully study the title before purchasing a car. Cars imported before July 1998 received a PTS at the State Traffic Inspectorate, among such cars the largest percentage of jambs with customs, unfortunately, in this case, read or don’t read the PTS, you won’t be able to find anything suspicious there. You can check it officially or, but as far as practice shows, the bases in these places begin their history around the beginning of 1997. I don’t presume to say 100%, but the customs history of cars imported before 1997 has most likely sunk into oblivion and there shouldn’t be any problems with the installation and removal of such cars due to the lack of any information about customs clearance in the FCS databases. And remember, multiple removal and registration of a car before your purchase cannot be a guarantee of 100% customs clearance, the Federal Customs Service is constantly tinkering with the database, there are a lot of crooked cars imported through customs, they simply do not have time. .and the situation may well happen: you bought a car and in two or three or six months the Federal Customs Service will calculate the customs clearance of your car and put it on the customs wanted list, so you will be surprised at the next check at the traffic police post. Therefore, if any suspicions arise, it is better to take care of the maximum possible verification before purchasing, so that later you do not languish in the courts and prove that you are not a camel.

A vehicle passport can be issued by the vehicle manufacturer, the traffic inspectorate and the customs authority. A car that is considered new and purchased directly from the showroom is handed over to the car owner with a passport from the manufacturer.

If the document is replaced, the owner of the vehicle receives a passport from the state automobile inspection.

In the case when transport is exported to Russia from abroad, clearance takes place at customs, as a result of which the car owner is issued a vehicle passport.

Potential buyers of cars with an existing customs passport for transport fear for the “purity” of the purchase and, in some cases, refuse the transaction.

However, a passport received at customs is considered the same official document for a car as an identical paper issued by another authority.

What kind of document is this

Regardless of where, when and by whom the vehicle passport was issued, it is considered a very important document that confirms the recommended level of vehicle safety.

The form of the document issued at customs is no different from the paper received from another authority.

Passport forms are produced at the Goznak factory and have a bluish color, as well as certain means of protection against counterfeiting:

• water marks;
• holographic sticker;
• an emblem that changes color (blue - gray) when the viewing angle changes;
• special threads in the document fabric.

A vehicle passport is considered a document that contains information about the technical characteristics of the car, as well as identification information about vehicle parts, information about the owner and registration of the car.

It turns out that it is almost impossible to distinguish a passport for a vehicle issued by the customs authority from an identical document received from the manufacturer or at the traffic police department.

However, the distinctive feature is the seal of the customs authority that carries out the registration of the vehicle. Each authority, when issuing a passport for a car, affixes its own identification stamp.

It is with its help that you can understand exactly where the document was issued, at what authority subsequent entries were made, etc.

In what cases is it issued and for what cars?

The issuance of passports for vehicles through customs authorities began on July 1, 1997.

Registration of a document by customs is implied in the case of importing a vehicle into Russia from countries classified as foreign.

In order for the document to be completed, several requirements must be met:

1. Provide the vehicle for inspection in the area where customs control is carried out.
2. Submit the required documents:
   • a completed application in the prescribed form with no blots, corrections or crossing-outs;
   • papers for the vehicle received in the country from which the export is made;
   • paper confirming ownership of the vehicle (purchase/sale agreement, certificate/invoice, etc.);
   • sales document or additional documentation for the cargo;
   • a photocopy of the civil passport of the owner of the vehicle or another document considered proof of identity;
   • final examination describing the technical characteristics of the transport.

The vehicle must comply with certain types specified in the Commodity Nomenclature of Foreign Economic Activity.

Vehicles that are subject to customs clearance and issuance of a vehicle passport include:

• a truck tractor with fifth wheel coupling mechanisms, which is designed to tow a semi-trailer;
• a car designed to transport 10 people (including the driver);
• a passenger car or other motor vehicle intended for passenger transportation (excluding the previous classification), as well as a cargo-passenger van with the exception of a racing car;
• freight car;
• a vehicle with a special purpose, excluding vehicles used in the transportation of passengers and cargo (trucks performing emergency repairs, a truck crane, a fire truck, a concrete mixer, a vehicle cleaning the roadway, a watering machine, a car repair shop, a vehicle with an X-ray unit);
• a motorcycle with or without a sidecar, as well as other motorized vehicles;
• trailer and semi-trailer.

Only if the above rules are observed, a citizen will be able to go through customs clearance and receive a passport for the imported vehicle.

A vehicle passport can be issued by the customs authority after the vehicle registration has been completed.

What are the possible restrictions for customs PTS?

Many people are interested in the question of possible restrictions for customs PTS. A similar situation mainly arises in cases where a vehicle is imported into the territory of the Russian Federation temporarily.

This means that the vehicle will be on the territory of the Russian Federation for a certain time (for example, for the purpose of transfer to another country).

When a vehicle is temporarily imported, its owner pays a certain amount of customs security. In this case, the amount of customs security is equal to the amount of customs duty.

The paid funds are returned to the owner of the vehicle when the vehicle is removed from the territory of the Russian Federation.

In such situations, additional information about the presence of certain restrictions is entered in the customs PTS.

What is the validity period

A vehicle passport issued by any of the authorities (customs, State Traffic Inspectorate (STSI), manufacturer) does not have a set validity period.

An exception is provided only for those cases when the car was introduced into the territory of the Russian Federation on a temporary basis.

The PTS contains certain information, including a note about the vehicle’s vin code. Certain fees may apply.

Is there a fee for document processing?

The issuance or replacement of a vehicle passport through the customs authority is accompanied by a certain payment provided and established.

A citizen who imports a vehicle into the territory of the Russian Federation must pay for customs clearance.

Also, a single customs rate is subject to payment, which will be calculated based on the vehicle engine power indicator - for used vehicles) and the cost of transport - for a new car.

Today, everyone will be able to independently calculate the amount of payments made in customs control zones for the registration and issuance of related documents, using various online calculators.

What the law says

The issuance of a vehicle passport by the Federal Customs Service of Russia is carried out on the basis of:

1. Order of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of the Russian Federation No. 134 dated December 31, 2008.

IMPORTANT (!) Why did the issuance of PTS for new cars stop? Today, customs authorities simply do not issue PTS for new cars from Belarus and Kazakhstan, as well as for those cars whose customs clearance was carried out in these republics according to the Unified Customs Rates (UCR). Territorial customs authorities refer to the clarifications of the Federal Customs Service of Russia, which states that from January 1, 2012, value added tax (VAT) must be reimbursed by both individuals and legal entities. However, by another order, the Federal Customs Service imposed a moratorium on the additional payment of VAT until February 15, 2012, but for some reason local customs officials do not mention this order, but simply do not issue PTS, deliberately delaying the time, so that by waiting until February 15, they can legally force car owners to pay the difference. VAT, which they did not pay extra in the union republics.

This is possible only in case of actual conversion, and the reality of such conversion is verified by the Central Excise Customs. If the owner of the car has provided documents on the conversion, the car is subject to inspection, and in case of doubt about the authenticity of the documents provided or the absence of real conversion, the car is sent for examination, and the owner is entered into a single database of refuseniks. Therefore, for all owners of cars from Belarus and Kazakhstan older than 2004 or not meeting the Euro 4 environmental class for other reasons, there is the only legal way to obtain a title - this is the actual conversion of the car. This procedure is carried out in accordance with UNECE Rules No. 83-05B and GOST R 51832-2001 by service centers that have special equipment and certified components for installation that reduce the toxicity of harmful emissions from motor vehicles. After you have converted your car to Euro 4, the customs authorities automatically issue a title for cars of any year of manufacture.

If it is revealed that the certificate for the vehicle was issued by a certification center that has not been accredited by Rosakreditatsiya, it will not have legal force, and the PTS issued on the basis of a forged document will be cancelled.
