Additional documents depending on the terms of delivery and type of goods:

1. Payment order and other payment documents for the goods (if the contract provides for prepayment).
2. Contract for transportation services with all annexes (if transportation is paid separately by the buyer). Application for transportation of consignment (if any).
3. Invoice for transport services and other expenses related to the transport of goods (e.g. insurance, transhipment, parking, etc.) with a breakdown of the expenses for the foreign territory and for the territory of the customs union (if the transport is paid separately by the buyer).

Depending on the regional specifics, each customs authority evaluates the nomenclature of goods according to its own statistical data and uses its own so-called customs value index (ITS), which is calculated according to the price/weight formula. If the ICC is higher than the price/weight ratio of your shipment, the customs value of your shipment may be adjusted and you will be required to pay customs security. Once you have provided customs authorities with the necessary documents (e.g. sales documents from previous shipments), a refund of the security will be considered.

The security is withheld by the customs authority, and the timing of the return depends on its decision. The process may take about a month.

It is necessary to provide export declarations with translation and, if available, sales documents from previous deliveries. If the manufacturer, shipper, contract beneficiary and contract holder are represented by one company, i.e. without intermediaries, the chances of getting the refund of collateral and reducing the waiting period for the refund increases significantly.
