Duty-free in foreign online stores you can buy goods no more than 150 dollars / euro
The Ministry of Economic Development and Trade agreed with the government of the Russian Federation the threshold for duty-free import of overseas Internet packages at $ 150, Prime Minister Alexei Ulyukayev said in an interview with Prime. ITAR-TASS quotes the minister as saying that the cut-off price was reduced to 150 euros.
It is worth noting that earlier the FCS offered an amount of 200 euros, and the Ministry of Finance proposed to reduce it to 150. Previously, the mark was 1,000 euros and 30 kg. It is also worth noting that last week it became known that logistics operators DHL and FedEx stopped delivering purchases from foreign online stores to individuals in Russia. The reason for this step, according to the delivery services, was the stricter FCS requirements for parcels of foreign online retailers. The Federal Customs Service itself claims that delivery requirements have not changed.
The deputy head of the Ministry of Communications and Mass Media, Mikhail Evrayev, is sure that ordinary citizens who order goods abroad will not be affected by the new rules - 80% of them order packages which cost less than 150 euros. He did not rule out that the threshold of duty-free entry into the Russian Federation in the future could be reduced even more. “In the future, the situation will be analyzed, monitoring of online trading will be conducted. It is possible that in the future this figure (150 euros) may be reduced, ”said the deputy minister.
