Orientation

Information about the medium degree of risk, to minimize which it is impractical to develop a risk profile due to the inaccuracy (wide scope) of such information.Orientationit does not contain instructions (recommendations) on the application of customs control forms and measures to minimize risks. Orientations are brought to the customs authorities as information used in the customs control of goods and vehicles.

Orientation is advisable, as a rule, in the following cases:

• if, as a result of the analysis of information by customs officials, a medium-level risk is identified;
• if, according to the results of the analysis of the effectiveness of the risk profile, its low effectiveness is recognized, however, informing customs officials about the potential risk remains appropriate;
• if it is necessary to inform the customs authorities about the medium-level risk on the basis of information received from other state bodies of the Russian Federation, as well as foreign customs services.

The orientation contains the following basic information:

• the validity period of the orientation (no more than three months);
• the scope of the orientation (including risk indicators andcustoms authorities, in which it is advisable to use orientation);
• descriptive part (description of the information that is brought to the customs authorities);
• contact official of the Federal Customs Service of Russia authorized to give advice on the content of the orientation (surname, initials, phone number, email address).

The information contained in the guidelines is taken into account when choosing and applying risk minimization measures by customs officials in accordance with their existing powers
