Changes in customs duty rates

Since January 1, 2025, Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1637 dated November 28, 2024, titled “On Rates and Base for Calculation of Customs Duties for Customs Operations Related to the Release of Goods” (hereinafter referred to as RF Government Decree No. 1637) came into force. This decree replaced Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 342 dated March 26, 2020, titled “On Rates and Base for Calculation of Customs Duties for Customs Operations Related to the Release of Goods” (hereinafter referred to as RF Government Decree No. 342).

RF Government Decree No. 1637 introduces new rates for customs duties associated with customs operations related to the release of goods.

It should be noted that customs duties (customs declaration code 1010; in this document, we consider only the subtype of customs duties “for customs clearance”) are a fixed rate for customs clearance, which depends on the declared value of the cargo.

The following table presents the new customs duty rates since January 1, 2025, according to RF Government Decree No. 1637, as well as information about the previously applied rates under RF Government Decree No. 342.

*Previously applied under RF Government Decree No. 342 for the declared value of goods exceeding 7000000 RUB up to and including 8000000 RUB.

Under RF Government Decree No. 1637, the customs duty rate applies to the declared value of goods from 7000000 RUB and above.

In 2025, there is also an increase in customs duty rates for the import of radio electronics from the list of Appendix No. 1 of RF Government Decree No. 1637, which is identical to Appendix No. 1 of the previous RF Government Decree No. 342.

This means that if the HS code of the imported goods is listed in Appendix No. 1 of RF Government Decree No. 1637, the customs duty amount will be 30000 RUB regardless of the cargo value and quantity.
