In accordance with Eurasian Economic Union legislation a brokerage agreement is to be signed between a cnee/a cnor importer/exporter (a represented entity) and DHL Express (a customs representative). A customer may choose a customs representative or declare the goods by himself.
Brokerage service is to be paid based on tariffs which are an integral part of a brokerage agreement.
Bonded Storage
In case customs clearance takes longer than three days from the shipment arrival date due to circumstances beyond control of DHL Express (including but not limited to inaccurate or missing paperwork, lack of decision by the customs authorities) a charge will be made for bonded storage. Charges take effect three days after the shipment arrival date or broker’s notification, whichever is later, and shall be paid by the importer.
Bonded Transit
All individual transits are to be agreed with DHL RU and a customer (requestor) in advance.
Export Declaration
Applies in countries where an export declaration is required for shipments containing controlled commodities or exceeding a certain value threshold or weight. Depending on origin country, shippers that submit a declaration online may avoid the local charge.
Formal Clearance
Applied in selected countries, when goods with an aggregated declaration value or weight exceeding the limits set by destination Customs Authorities, or due to other regulatory requirements are excluded from routine clearance on a consolidated manifest and thus require clearance under an individual entry form.
Multiline Entry
For shipments containing different commodities, a multiline entry charge is applied for every additional line item. All commodities require identification and must be classified under unique harmonized code tariff numbers. The charge applies to the duty and taxes payer.
Personal Effects
Currently, DHL Express in Russia does not accept shipments to private individuals.
Clearance Data Modification
DHL may add or modify data declared to customs authorities for clearance purposes such as declared values, classification of the goods, and importer details, based on documentary evidence gathered from or confirmed by the importer or exporter and only upon request by customs authorities or at the request of the importer/exporter. This service is available if mutually agreed by the Parties only.
