It is planned to create a single mechanism that will allow tracking the path of goods from the border to stores.                       

Over the past nine months, the federal budget of Russia has received more than 4 trillion rubles of customs payments. This was stated by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev at the International Customs Forum. Now the task is to create a single mechanism that will eliminate black imports.

According to the Prime Minister, the Federal Customs Service (FCS), together with the tax service, needs to track the movement of goods along the entire route - from importation through the customs border to a specific store.

— We need, of course, to get rid of shadow turnover, gray and black imports. And although its volumes are no longer as significant as they were some time ago, it is still necessary to bring all commodity and financial flows to light more actively," the Prime Minister noted.

The services will exchange information about how theproductwhen importing, comparing the country of its origin, cost, weight parameters — up to the quantity — when selling, Dmitry Medvedev explained. He cited as an example the system of labeling fur products and the current pilot project on labeling medicines.

— The most important thing for our citizens, for those who buy medicines, is the identification of counterfeit, the identification of substandard medicines, medicines that do not have a proper certificate, which are manufactured illegally, — Dmitry Medvedev stressed.

The Prime Minister recalled that customs is not a barrier to honest business, but an effective service that ensures the economic security of the country.

Dmitry Medvedev also launched the work of the Volga Electronic Customs (PET) on Wednesday, taking part in the opening ceremony via videoconference. PET is one of the 16 electronic declaration centers that are being created in accordance with the Comprehensive Development Program of the Federal Customs Service until 2020. 

Electronic declaration centers are designed for the remote passage of goods across the state border. The goods themselves are placed in warehouses of the border zones of Russia, and all information exchange with the customs service is carried out electronically. Only visual inspection of goods will be carried out at land customs posts and ports. The creation of such centers will make it possible to switch to electronic document management and reduce logistics and transport costs for enterprises engaged in foreign economic activity, as well as reduce the time of customs operations.

The country's economy faces large-scale tasks, the Prime minister said. Russia is striving to become one of the five largest economies in the world, and an important role here is assigned to foreign trade, primarily non—primary exports.

— In six years, we need to double its volume to $250 billion. The task is difficult, but in general, I think, it can be solved," Dmitry Medvedev said.

Dmitry Medvedev also presented government and state awards to employees of the Federal Customs Service within the framework of the International Customs Forum. The Order of Alexander Nevsky was awarded to the head of the Anti-corruption Department of the Federal Customs Service, Franz Augustinovich. Three more heads of service divisions were awarded Orders of Honor: Head of the Main Financial and Economic Department Yuri Vakhnyak, Head of the Main Department of customs Clearance and Control Dmitry Zhukov and Head of the main Department of Customs Control after the release of goods Valery Seleznev.

Four representatives of regional customs administrations received from the hands of the Prime Minister a certificate of honor and gratitude from the President, as well as a certificate of honor and gratitude from the Government of the Russian Federation.
