RUSSIAN CUSTOMS

Russian Federation" and "On Customs Tariff. All provisions and regulations in these documents are of the world standards.

Russia has the world's longest border to police, much of it newly created. The creation of Russian Customs was complicated by the fact that, after the disintegration of the USSR, the best-equipped and best-staffed Customs Services were outside Russia, which has acquired as a result 13,500 km of new borders with former Soviet Republics. Moreover the State Customs Committee has seen a five-fold staff increase over the past five years. This has been matched by growing organizational complexity. The ideological imperative has been replaced.

Today the Russian Federation has a modern, multi-functioning Customs Service which is able to take a deserving place in market economy regulation and is competent to help in rapprochement between the Russian and world economies. Everyone treats the Russian Customs Service as an equal and this means that the Russian Federation is becoming a full and equal member of the world community.
