Update to the news about the duty-free import of goods up to 1000 euros

A few days ago on Habré was the news of the beginning of the new rules of the Customs Union of Russia and Kazakhstan, according to which goods for personal use worth up to 1000 euros do not require customs clearance and are not subject to customs duty.

However, de jure is de jure, and here, as you know, "it is important not how they vote, but how they think." Yesterday, a curious recording of the notorious Eldar Murtazin appeared in the LiveJournal, containing a retelling of an interview with an unnamed customs officer, which slightly explains the de facto side of the question - namely, how the new rules will be applied.

The main problem is determining which products fit the definition of “for personal use” in this price niche. This is determined by practice, and takes 2-3 months for the most popular types of goods, in the future, customs officers will already rely on existing experience.

The conclusion from this interview, I quote Murtazina , is the following:

in customs, no one wants to put sticks in wheels to anyone, but they live in the coordinate system of regulations and the like, and every boss will cover himself as much as possible. In controversial cases, he will take a position against the consumer, so that there is no ah-ah-ah. Those products that previously passed without problems will remain the same. new products will be studied. Total - the situation is normalized only by the fall. Previously, everything that you order by mail, you do at your own peril and risk.

In general, it is not necessary to flog a fever, especially when we deal with our state. How to make new rules - see.
