Rating of customs brokers for 2012

We has studied the scales of participation of customs representatives in the foreign trade operations of Russia in 2012. Our experts stated increase of demand for the information and analytics both on specific customs representatives and on their participation in customs registration of deliveries with parameters set by customers within the last years (departure country, FEACN code, customs station, type of transport, etc.).

 

General statistics of participation of customs brokers in Foreign Economic Activities (FAE)

Processing of customs base for the year 2012 in a cut of G541 field (number of customs broker licence) has given the following results.
Almost two thirds of the total cost of goods imported and exported in 2012 (more than 470 bln. US dollars) were declared with participation of customs representatives.

 
Thus ¾ of the paid customs payments (almost 160 bln. dollars) were charged through customs representatives. The situation with declarations is as follows: about 1,8 million of CCD were issued with brokers, and 2,1 million were issued independently.
 

This means that large foreign trade deliveries are usually entrusted to representatives, and small foreign trade firms carry out customs operations independently.

All-Russian rating of the largest customs representatives

More than 500 legal bodies are registered in the register of customs representatives of the Customs Union in total. About 450 companies from them took part in customs operations in 2012. The table presents the first 20 companies leading in cost volumes of import/export operations declared by them.

We presented both quantity of unique CCD and quantity of commodity sheets in a russian customs database (unique records acc. ND+G32 key). Special attention should be paid to the column with number of cases of amendment of customs cost (ACC) by the broker. We consider it to be a good indicator of work quality of the representative.
