The State Duma will approve the threshold of 150 euros for duty-free parcels from online stores?
RIA Novosti today "pleased" comrades who prefer to order smartphones / tablets (and not only) from China. With reference to the head of the Ministry of Economic Development Alexei Ulyukayev, it is reported that the Russian government has already agreed to reduce the threshold value of parcels not subject to duty. Initially, the agency indicated $ 150, but a little later followed by an adjustment - we are talking about the euro.
“We had disagreements about the cut-off price, but eventually agreed on a figure of 150 euros. There were more radical proposals, from our point of view, redundant, ”said Alexey Ulyukayev. What measures can be even more radical, it is not entirely clear - to completely close the borders of the state with a population of 143 million people to receive private parcels? At the same time, there is no comment at all at the moment on which the approved amount was substantiated.

Some more details are posted on the website of the newspaper Gudok. It says that the subordinates of Ulyukayev offered to lower the threshold to $ 50-100. Now the proposal of 150 euros was supported by "and other departments" , now the initiative is sent to the State Duma for consideration. The size of the duty is still not indicated, it is said about vague 1-10% of the price of the goods. Earlier, the Federal Tax Service insisted on 30%.
The ultimate goal of innovation is not particularly hidden: “The initiators of these changes assure that a tightening of taxation will bring a substantial amount to the budget. During his message to the Federal Assembly, the President also touched on this subject, stating that if the Federal Customs Service (FCS) has additional revenues from reducing the threshold for duty-free import of Internet parcels, they could be spent on building housing infrastructure . ” Well, now we at least know what will be the contributions of honest citizens.
While there is no specific amount of duty, it is difficult to say whether it is worth opening the champagne to B-brands and to please the enticement of the comrades who previously used exclusively the services of AliExpress.com into the ranks of their consumers. Still, representatives of second-tier brands themselves have repeatedly stressed that lovers of orders from China have a tiny share in the volume of the Russian market.
PS “The question was also discussed whether this mechanism should be extended to all three countries of the Customs Union or limited to Russia only. Ulyukayev said that so far we are talking about restrictions that apply only in Russia. ” It is very interesting to learn the benefit of such a discussion without, in fact, the participation of representatives from all countries of the union.
PPS The deputy head of the Ministry of Communications and Mass Media, Mikhail Evraev, justifies the events as follows: “In European countries, the duty-free import rate is 22 euros. Practically the last countries in which such huge numbers remained (1 thousand euros) are Russia and Kazakhstan. ”
