Julia Talagaeva comments on Ozon launching its own customs broker, for Vedomosti newspaper
The Ozon marketplace has decided to launch its own customs broker and enter a list of participants in foreign trade that are engaged in the delivery and declaration of individuals’ express shipments, the company’s representative told Vedomosti. The goal is to speed up deliveries from China, reduce costs, and improve the transparency of the movement of goods. Ozon is now using the services of other customs brokers.
Companies on the list of participants in foreign trade that deliver and declare individuals’ express shipments may declare goods for personal use purchased as part of online trade and delivered as express shipments.
Operators on this list import goods into Russia, send them to specialized customs warehouses, clear goods, pay customs duties, and then deliver the goods to buyers, Julia Talagaeva, Senior Associated, told the newspaper.
