How to implement import, we have highlighted some important tips that will help you when importing.

· First, remember that when the goods cross the RA border, you will definitely have to meet the customs authorities. Therefore, understand whether the cargo you are importing is allowed to be imported, whether it is not a prohibited item, what batch it is, etc.

·In the next step, already prepare import documents. Remember that preparation of documents in a proper way saves you from a number of problems arising in the import procedures. Depending on the type of product, the composition of the documents can be changed, but there are basic documents that you must be aware of before importing. For this very purpose, we advise you to familiarize yourself with the work of the customs authorities of our country, to understand what the law requires of you when carrying out imports. Maybe there are documents that you just don't even think about, for example, depending on the type of cargo, special certificates and permits.

· Understand what customs fees you will have to pay for importing the product. Of course, there are cases when, depending on the type of cargo and its volume, you will find yourself in a more advantageous position in terms of the amount of customs fees. But it never hurts to plan your expenses in advance and understand what types of taxes you will have to pay. Remember that there are products for which you may pay separate taxes, find out and calculate this before importing the product.

Remember that when importing products, your customs fees depend on the product's GST code, be sure to submit the corresponding code for the product.

Be careful when determining the product code. In case of misrepresentation, you can hardly avoid problems with the customs authorities. In this case, the process of importing the product will be complicated and it is possible that the product will be confiscated.
