Methodological manual on the features of the first method of calculation of customs value
6701

The first basic method of determining the customs value of imported goods is based on the Customs Code and the rule on calculating the customs value of goods imported into the customs territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan (Article 390, January 13, 1998) and it is calculated by determining the value of the contract on the goods imported.

The customs value of the goods imported into the customs territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan shall be the value of the transaction, which actually paid or should be payable for the goods at the time of crossing the customs border of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

This method also includes a number of requirements that must be fulfilled, along with the conveniences and capabilities available for imported goods.

The customs value of the goods will be declared by the declarant or customs broker to the customs authority, with the filling of the customs declaration.

The customs value of the goods and the data presented on the identification should be based on accurate, quantifiable and documented information.

The basic conditions for determining the customs value by the first method are as follows:

the existence of a foreign trade agreement (contract, agreement) concluded with the purchase and sale of the goods and not contradicting the requirements of the currency legislation;

Availability of invoices with indication of amount of money in currency of foreign trade contract (agreement, agreement);

actual payment or payment of funds for commodity.

Thus, it is concluded that on the basis of a foreign trade contract (contract, agreement) concluded with the sale, transfer of goods from the country of export to the Republic of Uzbekistan across the border and payment of goods must be implemented.

In the process of studying the above mentioned conditions, it is necessary to focus on 6 main aspects:

Only the following three categories of access rights are provided in section I of the Purchase Guidelines for use of the Owner's Rights Procedure:

а) restrictions established by the legislation.

For example, imports of nuclear, chemical, toxic substances and narcotic substances are strictly restricted to some organizations.

  1. b) Restrictions on the geographical area where the commodity may be sold.

In this case, the restriction on the sale of goods is foreseen for certain persons.

For example, a seller sells goods on the territory of Uzbekistan to its reseller, and the whole territory is in 10 parts, each of which has a separate supplier. The condition is that each of the sellers can sell goods only in a certain region;

  1. c) restrictions that do not significantly affect the value of the goods.

If there is a risk that the price will have a significant effect, then the use of method 1 will only be possible through a quantitative change in the price as a result of such a transaction. If it is not possible to establish a quantitative impact on the price and prove it in terms of documents, then it will have to switch to other methods of customs valuation.

For example, a seller sells a medical device to a buyer on the condition that he uses the device only for charitable purposes in the Republic of Uzbekistan. In this case, method 1 cannot be applied because the buyer has a restriction on the right to use the product, and this condition may affect the cost of the transaction. Therefore, other methods of customs clearance should be applied.

From the point of view of limiting the use of limitations on method 1, the main criterion for assessing such limitations is the degree or impact on the contract value. Without limiting the transaction price, it does not prevent the use of method 1.

If there are any other restrictions on the rights of the buyer, the method 1 will not apply.

2-aspect. The commodity should not be imported into the customs territory under an agreement that does not have value.

This provision does not apply to a foreign trade agreement (contract, agreement), which does not have a base value in Section 1:

  1. a) Free delivery of goods.

For example, the seller supplied 5 seats as a model for the buyer. In this case there is no purchase and sale agreement;

  1. b) Delivered on the terms of brand consignment.

For example, the supplier will deliver to its agent for sale on more favorable terms for a multi-potato supplier. In this case, the agent does not buy potatoes, which is not the owner of the potatoes; the supplier of the benefits of selling potatoes (with regard to its sales expenses and wages);

  1. c) delivery of the goods to the intermediary without the intermediary.

For example, a legal entity has a branch in Belgium and operates in Tashkent on its own behalf. The delivery of goods between them does not fall within the scope of the sale and purchase agreement;

  1. g) delivery of goods within the framework of barter or compensation transaction, unless the goods price is specified;
  2. d) Delivery of goods under leasing agreements (leasing).

In this case the right of ownership of the goods does not pass from the lessor to the lessee, the owner obtains a part of the profit for the right of use of the substance and can return the goods to its owner (the lessee) after a certain period of time;

  1. e) delivery of goods for temporary importation.

For example, a vehicle to be returned by the proprietor (supplier) in time to the supplier will be delivered on the terms of temporary import to the consumer;

  1. j) delivery of goods at the expense of the guarantees envisaged in the contract.

Some mechanisms have been disabled during the warranty period for the supplied equipment. New items will be provided for replacement.

3-aspect. The effect of the sale or bargain price does not depend on the observance of terms that can not be accounted for (exchange, contract, recycling contracts).

In the case of the conclusion of the agreement, the conditions which prevent the value of the goods being valued and thus prevent the acceptance of the value of the transaction for customs purposes can not be applied in Method 1 in such a case. The following are the criteria

  1. a) the seller defines the goods imported under the condition that the buyer purchases the price at the buyer and also other types of goods at certain rates for each type of commodity.

For example, leather goods in the amount of 5,000 units are being delivered. Supplier also requires that the importer additionally purchase 2,000 pairs of unknown shoes;

  1. b) the cost of imported goods depends on the prices or the prices of other goods sold by the buyer of such goods to the seller of the imported goods.

For example, the seller sells electrical goods in the amount of 1,000 units. The buyer sells this retailer to produce such goods. In this case, the dealer puts the condition of a donation - 10,000 units. Thus, the cost of the reel prices of electrical equipment will be “tested”;

  1. g) the purchase and sale agreement envisages the purchase only from this seller;
  2. d) the purchase and sale agreement defines the value of the transaction on terms of mutual sale (delivery) of goods.

If such conditions exist, it may be necessary to determine whether they affect the transaction value and whether such effect can be quantified. Method 1 may be used only if the quantitative criterion for the effect of a single condition can be settled, and the actual price to be paid or paid in practice.

а) товарнинг етказиб берилиши бўйича умумқабул қилинган шартлар (аввало, ИНКОТЕРМСга киритилган етказиб бериш шартлари);

In this case, it is necessary to distinguish between the conditions of the agreement and the terms of supply, which are generally accepted and belong to all participants of foreign economic activity (or to be provided), and the conditions of the chosen type and general acceptance.

At the same time, the terms of supply, which are generally accepted and belong to all participants of foreign economic activity (or accessible to them), must be selected.

That is:

  1. a) general terms of delivery of goods (first of all, terms of supply included in INCOTERMS);
  2. b) the terms of the transaction and the execution of the commodity supply, as well as the general conditions for the "purchase of an expert (expert opinion)", "purchase of a commodity on condition that the goods are delivered for a certain period" and other conditions that affect the transaction price (depending on the number of goods, discounts on the seller's "reliability" and similar discounts).

 

For example, if a buyer is always considered as a generally accepted practice for the buyer to purchase the merchant for the purchase of the same merchant, then such a deduction and, consequently, the value of the transaction should be acknowledged and method 1 may be applied;

  1. c) provide the buyer with the technical instructions or drawings prepared in the Republic of Uzbekistan;
  2. d) to carry out any actions by the buyer for the sale of imported goods at his own expense (possibly even with the seller).

For example, the advertiser-paying activity.

4 th aspect. Any portion of the proceeds of subsequent sale, use or disposal of the goods shall not be directly or indirectly affected by the seller and shall be allowed to make adjustments to the value of the goods.

If the buyer has to pay a portion of the proceeds of the re-sale, use or disposal of the goods under the terms of the agreement, but the amount of such part or the method of fixing it may not apply to method 1.

However, according to the terms of the contract, if the amount of revenue can be calculated, then the customs value will be determined in two stages.

First stage. Customs value is determined by method 1 in the commodity's arrival and its removal is carried out in the prescribed manner with the marking of the customs authority.

Second stage. After re-selling, using or disposing of the goods, the importer shall present the amount reflecting the amount of the received amount and the amount of the transfer to the seller.

Based on these data, the amount of customs value and, consequently, the amount of customs fees to be charged shall be adjusted.

5th aspect. The information used by the declarant or customs broker to verify the customs value of the goods shall be certified by the documents.

At the same time, the requirement of documents is of two types:

1) a foreign trade contract (agreement, agreement) with third parties involved in the transaction.

As a result of the participation of two or more participants in a sales transaction, it is required that such transaction cost be investigated for its impact on customs value.

If the producer does not directly sell the goods directly to the buyer in the country of delivery, but also on the instructions of the third party, the dealer should examine the relationship between the manufacturer and the third party in order to clarify the true value of the goods.

In addition, the values ​​formed on the basis of brokerage rights of their dealer (distributor, agent) are included.

One of the proofs of the value of the goods is the imported CCD, which confirms release of this motor vehicle in the Russian Federation. This CCD contains information on the cost of exporting from Germany to Russia.

Also, in case of correct calculation of the customs value, the customs authorities may also consider the payment of customs duties and domestic taxes as a result of the registration of the customs regime of release for free circulation in the Russian Federation;
