Filling out a product declaration is a mandatory procedure for importers. Firstly, the customs clearance process already involves filling out a product declaration.

Both importers and customs brokers can fill out a product declaration. In this case, the customs broker fills out a declaration on behalf of the importer.

The product declaration is, so to speak, the customs declaration, which various customs procedures depend on its proper completion. For example, commodity
Customs bodies consider the declaration and decide what customs fees there are. They are also determined based on the information in the product declaration
types of taxes for imported goods.

When completing the product declaration, documents certifying the completed data must also be attached to it. Depending on the characteristics of the cargo, other documents stipulated by the law may be attached to the goods declaration.

According to the Customs Code of the Eurasian Economic Union, the goods declaration is carried out electronically. There are some exceptions when it is possible to submit a declaration in written form.
Thus, we have already understood that the completion of the goods declaration as the main document in customs processes is important in all customs processes.

The information mentioned in the product declaration and the cargo data are checked by the customs authority. If a mistake is noticed in the customs declaration, the customs authorities do not accept it and large fines arise for the importer.

Also, taking this into account, many importers prefer to use the services of a customs broker. If the importer fills it out incorrectly, this also causes financial consequences for the importer. And it is possible to avoid making mistakes by contacting a customs broker. The reason is simple: specialists who are constantly involved in customs procedures will fill out the product declaration in a more professional manner. Also, the customs broker will present the required data more accurately.

In addition, by trusting a customs broker, you get the opportunity to avoid further risks in customs processes. If the customs authorities notice errors in the goods declaration, it is not you who will be fined, but the customs broker who completed it. Thus, you will also be released from financial obligations.
