At the moment, almost all statesuse specific rules to determine the country of origin of goods. It helps to implement trade and economic policies and, in particular, the provision of tariff preferences.
The name of the place of origin of the product isSpecific data on the name of the country, locality or other geographical object, which is used for labeling goods. These data indicate the characteristic technological, geographical conditions for the manufacture of goods, as well as the human factor.
Digital codes are information in digital form,which is applied to products to simplify and automate the recording of information about them. This makes it possible to significantly reduce data processing time. Digital codes of the country of origin must necessarily be present on the transport and consumer packages.
What is the country code for identifying goods for?
Цифровые коды страны происхождения товара they help to determine according to a special digital designation, where the products were manufactured, according to the existing All-Russian classifier of countries of the world. If the code contains letters, information is analyzed according to the Classifier of economic unions and communities. But the letter code is put only when the information about the product, whether it be the marking of the cargo or transport accompanying documents, indicates only the economic union or the community.
The country of origin of goods is the country in which the goods were manufactured or subjected to sufficient processing.
What does the code look like?
Digital code of the country of origin of goodsis a two- or three-digit letter designation of the country of the world. For example, goods that come from Italy have the following designations: 380, IT or ITA. The environments of other equally important international partners of the Russian Federation should be highlighted Germany and the Netherlands, the digital codes of the country of origin of goods are as follows: 276, DE, DEU and 538, NL and NLD, respectively. Cargo from China is code 156, CH or CHN. But you should pay attention to the fact that goods that come from Hong Kong have separate codes - 344, HK or HKG, since it has the status of a special administrative region.
Indicating the digital code of the country of origingoods, it is desirable to use not only digital designation, but also literal. This is because the letter designation does not always coincide with the codes of the Federal Registration Service. When making declarations, the digital codes of the country of origin of the goods are indicated on a mandatory basis.
Digital identification
If the product indicates the country of origin of the goods, the digital code comes first.
Assigning numbers to countries around the world using the ordinal copy method.
When choosing a digital code and an alphabetic one, preference should be given to the digital one. Even if the name of a country is changed, its numeric code does not change, and the letter code may change.
Literal identification of goods
In some cases, even when specifying digitalcodes, it is recommended to use the alphabetic classifier. It can consist of two or three letters of the Latin alphabet. In this case, letter codes are a set of letters that are associated with the name of the country in English or other languages.
If the item code is not numeric, but alphabetic,then it should consist of two letters when it comes to international exchanges. Special three-digit codes are indicated only in cases where it is determined by the competent authorities.
Classification of goods in Russia
The classification of the countries of the world Rosstandart hassome differences in the names of countries, territories and geographical objects that are used in dictionaries and geographical maps. But according to the Russian government’s decree No. 457, which entered into force on June 1, 2009, it is Rosreestr that is responsible for the correct name of geographic names and is the authorized executive authority in this area.
Russia has its all-RussianWorld Classifier (OKSM). It indicates the mandatory numeric code, product name and letter identification. Such codes are used in the exchange of information, during the implementation of cultural, sports, economic, scientific international relations.
Under the objects OKSM mean countries of the worldterritories and sovereign states that have historical, economic, political features and are of interest for transportation, foreign trade, etc.
The goods are considered to be produced in the Russian Federation if they were created in the state or if they were sufficiently processed.
The impossibility of determining the code of origin of goods
There are situations when determinea country producing a specific product that is sold in the Russian Federation is almost impossible. We are talking about imported imported goods sold in Russia. Therefore, in such cases, you should indicate in the column "Digital code of the country of origin" - Russia.
For example, if a Russian company purchasedimported equipment, dismantled for parts and sells them on the territory of their state, how to designate it? In this case, the country of origin of these goods will be the state where the processing took place. Therefore, you should indicate the digital code of the country of origin of goods - Russia.
