“Cost Control”
Risk Management Systems (RMS)
Understatement of the customs cost of goods when declaring
and motivating it by the fact that a full package of documents has been
submitted (agreement, invoice, price list, payment documents and
other documents justifying customs cost) by a participant of foreign
economic activity
 Additional inspection on customs cost is assigned in case of
signs of unreliability of the declared customs cost
 Automatic organization of RMS of aggregate price information
based on real declarations without participation of a man taking into
account data bases of FCS and SCC of the Republic of Belarus
is being used
System Problems Influencing Implementation
of Customs Cost Control
Problems of data base correctness of electronic copies of
declarations for goods in TAIS-2 for the analysis of the customs
cost
Unreliable/incomplete filling by the customs applicants
of the goods description in column 31 of DG according to the
requirements of the Instruction on procedure of filling the declaration
for goods
Information Policy Service and PR of NECK
“Atameken”, 23 .01. 2012
In Kazakhstan, the RMS profiles are adjusted in such a
way that about 80% of all cargos falls under additional
inspection, whereas goods made in China are subject to 100%
control.
As the practice shows, additional inspections are assigned
almost for each supply of goods, and the importers have to pay
customs payments for each supply individually in accordance
with the price information organized by customs authorities.
Experts of “Atameken” and Kazakhstan’s entrepreneurs believe that the
process of customs clearance has not been simplified with the introduction
of RMS, but to the contrary has become more complicated and
has increased multiply the red-tape and corruption.
.
Repeated requests of “Atameken” to bring RMS to its initial ideology –
simplification of formalities for bona fide participants of FEA have led
to nothing
Experts of “Atameken” are convinced that making
the criteria of risk assessment as well as
decision of control and risk management
system itself available for foreign economic activity
participants, the entrepreneurs could optimize the
process of goods registration, decrease
the contact with the customs employees,
and consequently corruption developments.
Where it is more profitable to make a customs
clearance in the conditions of Customs Union –
in Russia, Kazakhstan
