Customs clearance of cars in Vladivostok

In the Russian Federation, all imported cars must pass customs clearance. Depending on who is the owner of the car, an individual or a legal entity, the amount of customs duties that must be paid when registering the vehicle is determined. Next, let's look at how much and for what you will have to pay when registering a car at customs in Vladivostok.

An important parameter when choosing a car is its age, it is considered taking into account the date of submission of documents for customs clearance, this factor is important to take into account when buying a car at auction, since the car still needs to be delivered to the place of registration in Vladivostok. As a result, some years are transitional, without knowing exactly the age of the car at the time of customs clearance, it is impossible to understand which category it falls into. The transition year for three-year-old cars is the current year minus three, for five-year-old cars - the current year minus five. For example, in August 2023, the transition years will be August 2018 and 2020, respectively. It is important to take into account the age of cars mainly when importing a car to an individual.

When calculating the cost of a car for an individual, customs payments are very different for passing and non-passing cars, customs payments for cars aged three to five years will be much less. If you purchase such cars, you can save on customs payments and get a high-quality car in excellent condition. You can always choose a car with lower mileage but at a more expensive price, which also increases its reliability and durability. In general, buying a car aged three to five years is the best choice for those who want to get a high-quality car at an affordable price and enjoy a comfortable ride for many years.

Customs duties on cars

In the Russian Federation, the main item of expenditure for the registration of cars, in addition to its cost, are customs payments. The amount of customs payments for individuals when submitting cars underTPOit is determined by the age of the car and the volume of the internal combustion engine.

If the car was made less than 3 years ago, then such a car is considered new, provided that its price does not reach 8,500 €,dutyfor such a car, it will be 54% of its price (but not less than 2.5 euros per 1 cm3 of engine volume). For more expensive cars, you will need to pay 48% (but not less than ** € per 1 cm3 of engine volume) from the cost.
If the car is between 3 and 5 years old, the amount of customs duty will be from 1.5 to 3.6 euros per 1 cm3 of engine volume.
If the car is older than 5 years, then you will have to pay from 3 to 5.7 euros per 1 cm3 of engine volume.

Calculations for hybrid cars and electric vehicles

Vehicles that combine a reciprocating internal combustion engine with one or more electric motors are called hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). For mechanical traction, these vehicles use the energy of both combustible fuels and devices for storing electrical energy, for example, an electric battery, a capacitor, a flywheel/generator.

There are different types of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), which differ in the transmission scheme such as parallel hybrids, serial hybrids, separate or parallel -serial hybrids and the degree of hybridization, for example, full hybrids, medium hybrids and hybrids with charging from the mains. Plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) include electric vehicles whose electric batteries can be recharged from an electrical outlet or charging station. Vehicles powered by one or more battery-powered electric motors are called electric vehicles (EVs).

The following operating modes can be provided in hybrid vehicles. Movement driven only by electric motors, movement driven only by electric motors and a battery charge from an internal combustion engine, movement simultaneously driven by electric motors and an internal combustion engine, deceleration in energy recovery mode, charging of the traction battery from an external source is provided.

The national standard of the Russian Federation GOST R59102-2020 "Electric vehicles and motor vehicles with combined power plants", approved by the order Rosstandart No. 799-st dated 09.10.2020 establishes terms and definitions in the field of standardization and certification of motor vehicles, in the design of which there is a traction electric drive and a rechargeable electric energy storage system.

Combined power plant of parallel type (Parallel hybrid power plant)- this is a transmission of an automobile vehicle with a combined power plant, providing a one-time or alternate drive from a traction electric drive and an internal combustion engine;
Serial hybrid power plant (Serial hybrid power plant)- this is a combined power plant with a traction electric drive and an internal combustion engine, where the internal combustion engine has no mechanical connection with the transmission and is designed to generate electricity, representing a part of a thermal power plant.

The national standard of the Russian Federation GOST R 59089-2020 "Electric vehicles and motor vehicles with combined power plants. Categories according to energy efficiency parameters according to CO2 emissions", approved by order of Rosstandart No. 781-st dated 08.10.2020. in subparagraph 5.2.11 of paragraph 5.2, it fixes that in the requirements for filling out the sheet of technical characteristics of an automobile vehicle "Traction electric drive power" indicate the rated/peak power (kW) of a traction electric motor or total power, if there are several.

According to subparagraph 15 of paragraph 5 of the Board's decisionThe EAEU No. 100 dated 08/18/2015 indicates the rated power of the engine(s) (in kilowatts and in horsepower). If more than 1 engine is used in the design of the machine to drive it, the total rated power of all engines is indicated, which can be consumed simultaneously.

If, in the design of the machine, the mechanical energy of the internal combustion engine is converted into electrical energy for subsequent propulsion of the machine by means of an electric motor (electric motors), the rated power of the internal combustion engine is indicated.

By the decision of the EAEC Board No. 122 dated 09/22/2015, in the list of information specified in the EPTS, the maximum 30-minute power is indicated in the indicator "electric motor of an electric vehicle". According to the Decision of the EAEC Board No.81 dated 07/12/2016, the maximum power of the electric motor (ElectricMotorPowerMeasure) is the maximum useful power of the electric traction system at direct current, which the traction system can provide on average for a 30–minute period.If there are two electric motors in the vehicle, the total maximum 30-minute power of the two electric motors must be taken into account.

Excise tax

This payment is paid only by a legal entity and an individual entrepreneur, the amount of excise duty is determined by the engine power and is considered horsepower.

If the car is equipped with both an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. For the purposes of calculating excise taxes, when determining engine power, it is necessary to take into account the maximum useful power of the electric traction system at direct current, which the traction system can provide for a 30-minute period of time.

If there are two electric motors in the vehicle, the total maximum 30-minute power of the two electric motors must be taken into account.

If, in the design of the machine, the mechanical energy of the internal combustion engine is converted into electrical energy for subsequent propulsion of the machine by means of an electric motor (electric motors), only the rated power of the internal combustion engine is indicated.

  - Vehicles (in the case of a single vehicle) can climb 25%;
  - At least four of the following six requirements are met:

Special and specialized vehicles manufactured on the basis (chassis) of vehicles of category G belong to category G if they meet the requirements above.

When marking the category of all-terrain vehicles, the letter G must be combined with the letters M or N (for example, N1G).

Notes:

When conducting an inspection in order to classify vehicles into category G, vehicles of category N1 with a technically permissible maximum mass of no more than 2 tons and vehicles of category M1 must be in running order, i.e. filled with coolant, lubricant, fuel, equipped with tools and a spare wheel, the standard weight of the driver must also be taken into account, taken equal to 75 kg . The remaining vehicles must be loaded to the technically permissible maximum mass set by the manufacturer.
The ability of the vehicle to overcome the rise of the set value (25% or 30%) is confirmed by the calculation method; however, technical services may require the presentation of a vehicle of the appropriate type for a real test.
When measuring the angle of entry and exit angle, as well as the longitudinal angle of cross-country, protective devices are not taken into account.
The following definitions apply regarding the angle of entry and the angle of exit, as well as the longitudinal angle of cross-country and ground clearance:
- the entrance angle is according to ISO 612 standard;
- exit angle - according to ISO 612 standard;
- the longitudinal cross-country angle is according to ISO 612 standard;
- The centerline ground clearance is the shortest distance between the reference plane and the lowest point of the vehicle located on its rigid element. Multi-axle trolleys are considered as one axis;
- ground clearance under one axis is the distance between the upper point of the arc of a circle passing through the centers of the tire contact spots of one axis (in the case of twin tires, the tires of the inner wheels of the axis) and touching the lowest point of the vehicle, rigidly fixed between the wheels, and the reference plane.
