How to make customs clearance more affordable, this is a constantly relevant question for importers when working with customs authorities.

Many businessmen and individuals import many products into Armenia, which have different FTA NA codes, and as is more known among importers and exporters, customs codes.

As we know, the rates of customs clearance of goods depend on these special tax codes, they determine the amount of taxes to be paid.

It is possible to understand how to carry out an affordable customs clearance through the correct application of the GST AA codes and the grouping of goods.

The reason is that different products can be grouped in such a way that a lower clearance rate can be achieved. Those involved in customs procedures know well that different products can be presented in different ways. For example, the imported zone may have a customs rate with its FTA AA code, and when we add any metal objects to it and present them to the customs authorities as a set, the customs rate may change. The whole point is to understand how to present the goods for a profitable customs clearance.

This is where the need for consulting customs brokers arises. If the businessman applies to the customs broker in advance, then the customs broker will help in a more targeted way to understand how to properly package the goods so that the customs duties are calculated at cheaper rates. The customs broker will also advise in advance how to buy the goods, in what batch, how to package them correctly, whether to present them together or separately.

By the way, there are cases when from the point of view of customs clearance, it is more beneficial to present the invoices of the goods separately, rather than as a set. Because it is possible that the customs rate of the whole set will be more expensive than submitting separate invoices for its components.

It should also be noted that this process is legal and you will not have any problems with the customs authorities for the correct completion of the goods.
