Introduction

Article 8 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation 1 guarantees the unity of the economic space, the free movement of goods, services and financial resources, support for competition, freedom economic activity on the territory of the Russian Federation. But Russia has not yet reached the level of economic development that would allow it to give up such a significant part of the federal budget revenues, which is formed mainly through the export of energy resources. It is no coincidence that the predicted price of oil on the world market is actually the main parameter that affects both economic development country. Chapter 47 of the Customs Code of the Customs Union 2 (hereinafter CC CU) and Chapter 43 federal law from 27.11.2010 No. 311-FZ "On Customs Regulation in the Russian Federation" 3 defines the specifics of the movement of goods across the customs border by pipelines and power lines, taking into account their specifics. The main purpose of this chapter, which is devoted to the movement of goods by pipelines and power lines, is to create favorable conditions for domestic oil companies so that the customs formalities associated with the process of moving goods through pipelines and power lines across the customs border would not be unreasonably burdensome.
Pipeline transport and power transmission lines are integral technological links that are directly involved in the process of moving energy carriers across the customs border. Much from technical equipment These structures depend on the pace and volume of movement of energy goods abroad, which is directly proportional to the country's budget revenues. After all, the development of the economy becomes possible and effective only when using not only national, but also international conditions and factors (obtaining the necessary raw materials and materials, financial resources, the results of achieving world science and technology, the widespread use of sales markets, etc.).
In addition to the technical side of the process of moving energy carriers, customs legislation in this area undoubtedly plays a significant role. The more it is adapted to current state world market of resources, the greater the return can be obtained in the form of increased volumes of customs deductions to the state budget 4 .
So, the object of this study is the process of moving energy goods by pipeline transport and along power lines.

1. Movement of goods by pipelines and power lines

1.1 Features of the movement of goods by pipeline

The legal basis for the movement of goods by pipeline transport and power lines is enshrined in Art. 334 - 339 of chapter 47 of the Labor Code of the Customs Union.
This chapter establishes special rules for the movement across the customs border of certain categories of goods (oil, oil products, gas, electricity) that have specific features of movement, payment of customs duties, customs clearance, applying rates customs duties, taxes. It should be noted that the provisions of Chapter 47 apply to relations related to the transportation of goods exclusively by pipeline transport (oil pipeline, oil product pipeline, gas pipeline), the routes of which cross the customs border without reloading to another mode of transport, as well as to relations for the movement of electrical energy through power lines.
Consideration of this topic involves understanding the meanings of the terms "pipeline transport" and "power lines", as well as getting an answer to the question of what kind of goods are transported by pipelines and power lines. five
In accordance with the All-Russian Classification of Economic Activities (OKVED) OK 029-2001 6, pipeline transport represents various pipeline systems designed to transport oil, oil products, gas, gas processing products, and other types of cargo. The All-Russian Classification of Economic Activities (OKVED) is intended for classifying and coding types of economic activities and information about them.
The concept and types of interstate power lines are given in the all-Russian classifier of types of economic activity (OKVED).
According to Art. 335 of the Customs Code of the Customs Union import into the customs territory customs union and export from it of goods transported by pipeline transport is allowed after the acceptance of the customs declaration and the release of goods by the customs authority in accordance with the declared customs procedure. When applying customs declaration actual presentation of goods is not required. When importing into the customs territory of the Customs Union or exporting from this territory goods transported by pipeline transport, it is allowed to mix goods, as well as change the quantity and condition (quality) of goods due to technological features transportation and specific characteristics of goods in accordance with the technical regulations and national standards in force in the member states of the customs union.
In relation to such types of goods as oil and oil products, in order for the carrier to start "pumping" through the oil pipeline or oil product pipeline system, it is necessary to obtain permission from the customs authority, which is expressed in the acceptance of a declaration (temporary declaration). The movement of natural gas across the customs border is also carried out after the acceptance of the customs declaration.
Taking into account the peculiarities of the movement of goods by pipeline transport, in contrast to the general procedure established by the Customs Code of the Customs Union, the actual presentation of goods to the customs authority is not required.
The goods must be exported (imported) in the same quantity and in the same condition that were declared to the customs authority when declaring (because, for example, a change in the quality of oil affects the determination of the customs value and, consequently, the amount of the applicable customs duty rate). However, when goods are transported by pipeline, the situation is somewhat different. Since the process of transporting goods through the pipeline transport system is continuous, the mixing of goods of different quality inevitably occurs, which, in turn, affects the change in their specific characteristics. In addition, the technological features of the movement may entail a change in the quantity of goods in the direction of both increase and decrease. Taking into account these features, it is allowed to mix and change the amount of goods transported through the pipeline transport system, within the limits provided for by technical regulations and national standards established in accordance with the legislation of the Member States of the Customs Union.
The quantity of goods transported by pipeline transport is determined on the basis of the readings of metering devices installed in technologically determined places, acts on the actual deliveries of goods under the relevant foreign trade agreement, acceptance certificates, certificates of quality of goods and other similar documents confirming the targeted distribution of volumes produced, delivered and consumed goods transported by pipelines for the billing period determined in accordance with the legislation of the Member States of the Customs Union.
According to Art. 337 of the Customs Code of the Customs Union, metering devices for goods transported by pipelines and power lines are installed in the customs territory of the customs union. Places for installation of metering devices for goods transported by pipelines and power lines across the customs border may be located outside this territory, subject to the existence of international treaties of the state - a member of the customs union and a neighboring state that determine their work and the procedure for access by officials of customs authorities.
Metering devices for natural gas transported by pipelines may be located in the customs territory of the Customs Union and (or) outside it in places where measurements are due to the technology of natural gas transportation, and certain conditions of foreign trade agreements on the basis of which such movement is carried out. Also in accordance with Art. 311 of the Federal Law of November 27, 2010 No. 311-FZ "On Customs Regulation in the Russian Federation" in order to prevent unauthorized access and change of information in the readings of metering devices for goods transported by pipelines and power lines, to such devices, if they are located on the territory of the Russian Federation, the customs authorities may impose means of identification in the manner determined federal body executive power authorized in the field of customs, together with the federal executive body responsible for the development and implementation of public policy and legal regulation in the field of the fuel and energy complex.
When moving goods across the customs border by pipeline transport, their temporary periodic customs declaration is allowed by filing a temporary customs declaration. In the temporary customs declaration, it is allowed to declare information based on the intentions of importing or exporting the approximate amount of goods during the period of time declared by the declarant, not exceeding the validity period of the foreign trade agreement, the conditional customs value (assessment) determined according to the quantity of goods planned for import into the Russian Federation or export from the Russian Federation, and their consumer properties and (or) the procedure for determining the price of these goods provided for by the terms of the foreign trade agreement on the day of submission of the temporary customs declaration.
According to Art. 338 of the Customs Code of the Customs Union, identification of goods transported by pipeline is not carried out, which does not prevent the customs authorities from establishing for customs purposes the quantity, quality and other characteristics of goods using the information contained in documents, meter readings and other measuring instruments.
One of the most important tools of trade policy is the application of prohibitions and restrictions on certain categories of goods, which are established in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation on the state regulation of foreign trade activities, namely, in accordance with Federal Law No. 164-FZ of 08.12. foreign trade activities" 7 . However, the application of this tool in relation to goods transported by pipelines has certain peculiarities due to the fact that the process of transportation through the pipeline system is not reversible, i.e. it is not possible to suspend the movement or return the goods back. Therefore, the prohibitions and restrictions established by the legislation of the Russian Federation on state regulation foreign trade activities, the legislator proposed to apply on the day of filing a temporary customs declaration.

1.2 Advantages and disadvantages of pipeline transport

Pipeline transport is used to transport a narrow range of specific cargoes: crude oil and refined products, natural gas, crushed coal and ore with the help of water, chemical products, etc. slightly more expensive than by water transport. At the same time, a specific feature of this type of transport should be noted: the absence of vehicles. For the transportation of goods, only communication lines and oil (gas, etc.) terminals are required. Benefits include:
- high throughput at low cost;

    - high safety of cargo, in particular, by reducing losses during oil spills at oil terminals;
- a narrow range of transported goods.
Of the main disadvantages, it should be noted that only in rare cases can cargo of different names be transported through the same pipeline. So, for example, it is impossible to distill high-quality gasoline through the pipeline after transporting fuel oil. This imposes certain restrictions on the use of pipelines.

1.3 Movement of goods over power lines

Before considering the features of the movement of goods along power lines, it is necessary to define this concept in order to better understand the functioning of these technical structures.
Power transmission line (TL) - an electrical installation for transmitting electricity over a distance, consisting of wires (cables) and auxiliary devices (insulators, couplings, etc.). There are overhead power lines, wires that are suspended above the ground or above water, and underground (underwater), in which power cables are mainly used.
According to Art. 336 of the Customs Code of the Customs Union, the import into the customs territory of the customs union and the export from this territory of goods transported along power lines is allowed until the customs declaration is submitted to the customs authority. Declaration is carried out with the subsequent submission of a customs declaration for placing electrical energy under customs procedures for release for domestic consumption or export, respectively, no later than the 20th (twentieth) day of the month following each calendar month of its actual delivery. When submitting a customs declaration, the actual presentation of electrical energy to the customs authority is not required. This approach is due to both the specifics of the product itself and the peculiarities of its movement.
The actual amount of electricity imported and exported and (or) the balance flow as an algebraic sum of electricity flows in opposite directions along interstate transmission lines for each calendar month are subject to declaration. In the customs declaration (customs declarations), the amount of imported or exported electrical energy is indicated for each calendar month as the balance of electrical energy flow (the algebraic sum of electrical energy flows in opposite directions along all interstate power transmission lines in operation of all voltage classes, adjusted for the amount of electricity available at movement of electrical energy losses in electrical networks) or separately actually imported or exported amount of electricity, adjusted for the amount of losses in electrical networks during the movement of electrical energy in the section of interstate power transmission lines.
When declaring natural gas transported by pipelines, to confirm its quantity and quality, acts on the actual deliveries of goods drawn up on the basis of readings from metering devices located in places determined by the terms of foreign trade agreements on the basis of which such movement is carried out are used.

Also in accordance with Art. 339 of the Customs Code of the Customs Union, electric energy transported through power lines through the customs territory of the customs union in the conditions of parallel operation of power systems is not subject to placement under the customs procedure of customs transit. At the same time, no later than the 20th (twentieth) day of the month following each calendar month of the actual movement of electric energy, a written application must be submitted to the customs authority indicating information on the volume of movement for the billing period, the conditional cost of electric energy and other information, established by law member states of the customs union.
Article 314 of Federal Law No. 164-FZ of 08.12.2003 "On the Fundamentals of State Regulation of Foreign Trade Activity" regulates the provision of payment of customs duties and taxes. This article gives the customs authorities the right to demand security for the payment of customs duties in respect of goods transported by pipelines and power lines in the following cases:
1) if the declarant has been carrying out its foreign trade activities for less than one year;
2) if the declarant has unfulfilled requirements for the payment of customs payments within the terms established by these requirements;
3) if the declarant has unexecuted rulings on cases of administrative offenses in the area of ​​customs affairs.

2. Customs clearance, customs control and customs taxation when moving goods by pipelines and power lines
2.1 Customs clearance and customs control during the movement of goods by pipelines and power lines

Customs clearance is a set of customs operations in relation to goods and Vehicle moved across the customs border.
The procedure and technologies for the production of customs clearance are established depending on:
- type of goods transported across the customs border (perishable goods, live animals, radioactive and fissile materials, dual-use goods subject to export control, precious metals and precious stones, as well as a number of other goods);
- the type of transport used to move goods across the customs border (road transport, sea (river) transport, air transport, rail transport, pipeline transport and power lines);
- categories of persons moving goods and vehicles 8 .
In addition, the method of movement of goods can also affect the features of customs clearance. For example, the movement of goods in international mail
As noted earlier, the specifics of legal relations for the movement of goods by pipeline transport lies not only in the peculiarities of transportation, it is also due to the peculiarities of declaring goods. The general principle of customs regulation is as follows: the movement of goods across the customs border is legally documented by one customs declaration in accordance with the customs procedure, which reflects all information about goods imported into the customs territory or exported from this territory. However, the peculiarities of goods transported by pipeline transport do not allow customs clearance according to one customs declaration. These features are expressed primarily in the specifics of the product itself, since its price under the terms of foreign trade transactions (in particular, various additions to contracts) is determined by the exchange quotation period, and at the time of applying to the customs authority, the product has only a value determined in the domestic market.
At what price it will be sold on the foreign market, it is not known at the time of filing the customs declaration. And therefore, it is impossible to manage with one customs declaration in the situation under consideration. In this regard, for the purposes of customs clearance of goods transported by pipeline, periodic temporary declaration is applied, providing for the possibility of export (import) of goods on the basis of indicative information about their quantity, conditional customs value, determined based on the quantity of goods planned for movement, or in accordance with with the procedure for determining the price of these goods provided for by the terms of the contract. A full customs declaration is submitted after all the information necessary for customs clearance, confirmed by the relevant documents (customs value, invoice value, etc.), becomes known.
Periodic temporary declaration is made by submitting a temporary customs declaration. In the temporary customs declaration, it is allowed to declare information based on the intention to import or export the approximate amount of goods during the period of time declared by the declarant, not exceeding the validity period of the foreign trade agreement, the conditional customs value (assessment) determined according to the quantity of goods planned for import into the Russian Federation or export from the Russian Federation, and their consumer properties and (or) the procedure for determining the price of these goods provided for by the terms of the foreign trade agreement on the day of submission of the temporary customs declaration. It is allowed to submit one temporary customs declaration for goods imported or exported by the same person moving goods in accordance with the terms of one customs procedure as part of the fulfillment of obligations under several foreign trade agreements (including under different terms of delivery, pricing and payment).
A temporary customs declaration is submitted by the declarant for a period of time not exceeding one quarter, and for natural gas - one calendar year no later than the 20th day of the month preceding this period. If during the calendar month of delivery the terms of delivery and (or) the quantity of goods specified in the temporary customs declaration accepted by the customs body change, it is allowed to submit an additional temporary customs declaration during the month of delivery.
The declarant is obliged to submit one or more duly completed full customs declarations for goods imported or exported for each calendar month of delivery of goods. A complete customs declaration must be submitted no later than the 20th day of the month following the calendar month in which the goods were delivered. Upon a reasoned request from the declarant, the customs authority shall extend the deadline for filing a full customs declaration, but not more than up to 90 days. Extension of the deadline for filing a full customs declaration does not extend the deadlines for payment of due amounts of customs duties and taxes.
According to " Instructions on the customs clearance of goods transported across the customs border by pipelines and power lines" 9, operating in the part that does not contradict the customs legislation of the customs union, the total quantity of goods actually exported or imported, indicated in all full customs declarations, cannot exceed the quantity declared in the submitted temporary customs declaration, taking into account the additional temporary customs declaration (if any).
If within a calendar month the goods declared for import or export in the temporary customs declaration were not imported or were not actually exported, the declarant is obliged to notify the customs authority in writing before the deadline for filing a full customs declaration.
Customs clearance and control of goods is carried out by specialized customs authorities (energy customs and customs posts).
According to standard rule 6.1. "International Convention on the Simplification and Harmonization of Customs Procedures" 10 all goods, including vehicles, entering or leaving the customs territory, regardless of whether they are subject to duties and taxes, are subject to customs control.
In accordance with Art. 4 of the Customs Code of the Customs Union, customs control is defined as a set of measures carried out by the customs authorities, including using a risk management system, in order to ensure compliance with the customs legislation of the customs union and the legislation of the member states of the customs union.
The procedure for customs control over the actual movement of electricity across the customs border is enshrined in Order No. 60 of the State Customs Committee of the Russian Federation dated 03.02.1999 "On the implementation of customs control over the actual movement of electricity across the customs border of the Russian Federation", which is effective to the extent that it does not contradict the customs legislation of the customs union. Control over the actual movement of electricity across the customs border is carried out by customs officials together with responsible representatives of the energy facility and energy supervision by taking readings from the estimated (commercial) electricity metering devices, checking the accounting and reporting system, documents and information necessary for customs purposes. Readings from commercial electricity metering devices are taken by the personnel of the power facility at 24-00 hours local time of the last day of the reporting month, unless otherwise specified by the contract (agreement) on ensuring the joint operation of the electric power system of the Russian Federation and the electric power system of a neighboring state.
A customs officer who exercises customs control over the actual movement of electricity across the customs border:
- checks the readings of electricity meters taken by the personnel of the power facility on the last day of the reporting month, and its quantity, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh), according to the log of primary recording of readings of electricity meters and / or daily dispatcher's list with putting a mark in these documents "Checked", certified by the signature and personal numbered seal of the customs officer in the region of activity of which the place of customs control is located;
- participates in the work of a commission established in a territorial organization or subdivision of the energy industry to control the reliability of electricity metering at a power plant or substation;
- receives, as a document required for the purposes of customs control, an act of accounting for electricity transported through interstate power lines.
etc.................

32. Movement of goods by pipelines and power lines

Import into the customs territory of the Russian Federation and export from this territory of goods transported by pipeline transport are allowed after the acceptance of the customs declaration and the release of goods by the customs authority in accordance with the conditions of the customs regime declared in it (clause 1 of article 310 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

When submitting a customs declaration, the actual presentation of goods is not required (clause 2, article 310 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

When importing into the customs territory of the Russian Federation or exporting from this territory goods transported by pipeline, mixing of goods is allowed, as well as a change in the quantity and condition (quality) of goods due to technological features of transportation and specific characteristics of goods (clause 3 of article 310 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

A temporary customs declaration is submitted by the declarant for a period of time not exceeding 1 quarter, and for natural gas - 1 calendar year, no later than the 20th day of the month preceding this period (clause 2 of article 311 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

Import into the customs territory of the Russian Federation and export from this territory of goods transported along power lines are allowed without prior permission from the customs authority, subject to subsequent declaration and payment of customs duties (clause 1, article 314 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

The declaration of electric energy moved across the customs border is made by submitting a customs declaration no later than the 20th day of the month following each calendar month of the actual delivery of goods. Upon a reasoned request of the declarant, the customs authority extends the deadline for filing the customs declaration, but not more than 5 days (clause 3, article 314 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

The declaration is subject to the actual amount of electrical energy, which is established on the basis of the readings of metering devices installed in technologically determined places and fixing the movement of electrical energy. The amount of electrical energy moved between two states is defined as the balance-flow (the algebraic sum of electrical energy flows in opposite directions along interstate power lines of all voltage classes that are in operation) for each calendar month. The calculated value of the balance-flow is corrected for the amount of losses of electric energy in the networks that occur during the movement of electric energy. Declaration is made on the basis of acts on the actual supply of electrical energy under the relevant foreign trade agreement (clause 4, article 314 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

Introduction

Legal regulation of relations related to the movement of goods by pipelines and power lines, in Lately is given special importance. Russia has not yet reached the level of economic development that would allow it to give up such a significant part of the federal budget revenues, which is formed mainly through the export of energy resources. It is no coincidence that the predicted price of oil on the world market is in fact the main parameter that affects both the economic development of the country and the solution of social problems in general. In the context of the formation of new customs legislation, a qualitatively different approach is required in regulating relations related to the movement of goods by pipelines and power lines. Therefore, the new Labor Code of the Russian Federation provides for a chapter in which all issues related to the movement of energy resources across the customs border are comprehensively resolved, taking into account their specifics. The main goal of the chapter of the Customs Code devoted to the movement of goods by pipelines and power lines is to create favorable conditions for domestic oil companies so that customs formalities related to the process of moving goods by pipelines and power lines across the customs border would not be unjustified. burdensome.

Pipeline transport and power transmission lines are integral technological links that are directly involved in the process of moving energy carriers across the customs border of the Russian Federation. In many ways, the pace and volume of movement of energy goods abroad depend on the technical equipment of these facilities, which is directly proportional to the country's budget revenues. In addition to the technical side of the process of moving energy carriers, customs legislation undoubtedly plays a significant role in this area. The more it is adapted to the current state of the world resource market, the greater the return can be obtained in the form of increased volumes of customs deductions to the state budget.

The relevance of the research topic can be traced in the above, and lies in the fact that the main source of income and replenishment of the Russian budget is the supply of raw materials and electricity abroad. The key link here is pipeline transport and power transmission lines, which run for many hundreds of kilometers across the territory of the Russian Federation and go abroad to consumer countries.

Thus, we can formulate the purpose of the research in the following form: to understand the peculiarities of the movement of energy carriers across the customs border. Accordingly, based on the plan of our work, it is possible to single out the tasks of the study, the solution of which is necessary to achieve its goal:

1. understand the essence of this type of transport;

2. study the procedure for moving energy carriers;

3. to give an analysis of the activities of the Central Energy Customs;

4. designate the main energy partners of Russia abroad.

When writing this work, we used regulations Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation, articles from magazines devoted to customs, official statistical information published in these journals.

The object of our study is the process of moving energy goods through pipelines and power lines.

The subject of the study is the relationship arising in connection with the movement of these goods across the customs border of the Russian Federation.

1 Movement of goods by pipelines and power lines

1.1. Features of the movement of goods by pipeline transport

The legal basis for the movement of goods by pipeline transport and along power lines as a type of special customs procedures is enshrined in Articles 309 - 317 of Chapter 26, Subsection II of the Customs Code of the Russian Federation /1/.

This chapter establishes special rules for the movement across the customs border of certain categories of goods (oil, oil products, gas, electricity) that have specific features of movement, payment of customs duties, customs clearance, application of rates of customs duties and taxes. It should be noted that the provisions of Chapter 26 apply to relations related to the transportation of goods exclusively by pipeline transport (oil pipeline, oil product pipeline, gas pipeline), the routes of which cross the customs border (i.e. "clean pipe") without reloading to another mode of transport, as well as on the relationship of the movement of electrical energy through power lines /2/.

As an independent type of customs procedures, the movement of goods by pipelines and power lines is provided for in the Customs Code of the Russian Federation for the first time.

Consideration of this type of customs procedures involves understanding the meanings of the terms "pipeline transport" and "power lines", as well as getting an answer to the question of what kind of goods are transported by pipelines and power lines.

In accordance with the All-Russian classifier of types of economic activity (OKVED) OK 029-2001, adopted by the resolution State Committee Russia on standardization and metrology "On the adoption of OKVED" dated November 6, 2001 No. 454-st, pipeline transport represents various pipeline systems designed to transport oil, oil products, gas, gas processing products, and other types of cargo. The All-Russian Classification of Economic Activities (OKVED) is part of unified system classification and coding of technical, economic and social and social information of Russia (ESKK RF) and is intended for classification and coding of economic activities and information about them /3/.

The concept and types of interstate power lines are given in all-Russian classifier types of economic activity (OKVED).

An analysis of the provisions of Chapter 26 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, as well as by-laws, allows us to highlight the following general terms and Conditions movement of goods by pipelines and power lines: declaration of goods transported by pipelines, permission to release goods by pipelines; payment of customs duties and taxes when moving goods by pipeline; the possibility of applying prohibitions and restrictions when moving goods by pipeline transport; declaration of goods transported along power lines; permission to release goods transported along power lines; the possibility of prior authorization for the release of goods transported along power lines; ensuring the payment of customs duties; lack of identification of goods transported by pipelines and power lines; the admissibility of applying another special customs regime /4/.

Import into the customs territory of the Russian Federation and export from it of goods transported by pipeline transport is allowed after the acceptance of the customs declaration and the release of goods by the customs authority in accordance with the conditions of the customs regime declared in it. When submitting a customs declaration, the actual presentation of goods is not required. When importing into the customs territory of the Russian Federation or exporting from it goods transported by pipeline, mixing of goods is allowed, as well as a change in the quantity and condition (quality) of goods due to technological features of transportation and specific characteristics of goods in accordance with technical regulations and national standards in force in the Russian Federation . Customs procedures for temporary storage and internal customs transit, in accordance with Article 310 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, do not apply to goods transported by pipeline. This article regulates relations related to the import and export of goods (oil, oil products, gas) transported by pipeline, while the movement is carried out in a permissive manner - only after the acceptance of the customs declaration and the release of goods in accordance with the chosen customs regime. So, for example, in relation to such types of goods as oil and oil products, in order for the carrier to start "pumping" through the oil pipeline or oil product pipeline system, it is necessary to obtain permission from the customs authority, which is expressed in the acceptance of a declaration (temporary declaration). The movement of natural gas across the customs border is also carried out after the acceptance of the customs declaration.

Taking into account the peculiarities of the movement of goods by pipeline transport, in contrast to the general procedure established by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the actual presentation of goods is not required, as well as the application of customs procedures for temporary storage or internal customs transit.

The initial principle is that the goods must be exported (imported) in the same quantity and in the same condition that are declared to the customs authority when declaring (because, for example, a change in the quality of oil affects the determination of the customs value and, consequently, the amount of the applicable customs duty rate ). However, when goods are transported by pipeline, the situation is somewhat different. Since the process of transporting goods through the pipeline transport system is continuous, the mixing of goods of different quality inevitably occurs, which, in turn, affects the change in their specific characteristics. In addition, the technological features of the movement may entail a change in the quantity of goods in the direction of both increase and decrease. Taking into account these features, mixing and changing the amount of goods transported through the pipeline transport system is allowed within the limits provided for by technical regulations and national standards established in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation on technical regulation /5/.

Introduction

The legal regulation of relations related to the movement of goods by pipeline transport and power lines has recently been given particular importance. Russia has not yet reached the level of economic development that would allow it to give up such a significant part of the federal budget revenues, which is formed mainly through the export of energy resources. It is no coincidence that the predicted price of oil on the world market is in fact the main parameter that affects both the economic development of the country and the solution of social problems in general. In the context of the formation of new customs legislation, a qualitatively different approach is required in regulating relations related to the movement of goods by pipelines and power lines. Therefore, the new Labor Code of the Russian Federation provides for a chapter in which all issues related to the movement of energy resources across the customs border are comprehensively resolved, taking into account their specifics. The main goal of the chapter of the Customs Code devoted to the movement of goods by pipelines and power lines is to create favorable conditions for domestic oil companies so that customs formalities related to the process of moving goods by pipelines and power lines across the customs border would not be unjustified. burdensome.

Pipeline transport and power transmission lines are integral technological links that are directly involved in the process of moving energy carriers across the customs border of the Russian Federation. In many ways, the pace and volume of movement of energy goods abroad depend on the technical equipment of these facilities, which is directly proportional to the country's budget revenues. In addition to the technical side of the process of moving energy carriers, customs legislation undoubtedly plays a significant role in this area. The more it is adapted to the current state of the world resource market, the greater the return can be obtained in the form of increased volumes of customs deductions to the state budget.

Import into the customs territory of the customs union and export from this territory of goods transported via power transmission lines (hereinafter in this chapter - electrical energy) is allowed until the submission of a customs declaration to the customs authority. Declaration is carried out with the subsequent submission of a customs declaration for placing electrical energy under customs procedures for release for domestic consumption or export, respectively, no later than the 20th (twentieth) day of the month following each calendar month of its actual delivery.

When submitting a customs declaration, the actual presentation of electrical energy to the customs authority is not required.

Imported or exported actual amount of electrical energy is subject to customs declaration. The amount of electrical energy is determined on the basis of the readings of metering devices installed in technologically determined places and fixing the movement of electrical energy, acts on the actual supply of electrical energy under the relevant foreign trade agreement, acceptance certificates and other documents confirming the actual movement of electrical energy, as a balance flow electric energy (the algebraic sum of electric energy flows in opposite directions along all interstate power lines in operation of all voltage classes) for each calendar month, unless a different procedure for determining the amount of electric energy is established by the legislation of the Member States of the customs union.

The calculated value of the balance-flow is corrected for the amount of losses of electric energy in the networks that occur during the movement of electric energy in accordance with the technical regulations and national standards in force in the member states of the customs union.

When declaring electrical energy exported from the customs territory of the customs union, the readings of metering devices located on the territory of the state of dispatch of this electrical energy, or metering devices located on the territory of a neighboring state, are used in accordance with paragraph 2.3 of this work.

Features of the customs declaration of goods transported along power lines are determined in accordance with Article 194 of the Customs Code of the customs union:

With all the richness of the scientific, industrial, economic potential of our great country, the national wealth is its natural resources - huge reserves of hydrocarbons and hydropower resources. In this, Russia has an incomparable advantage over most countries of the world.

In the context of the depletion of minerals in the world, their constant shortage in the world market, the Russian Federation not only meets its needs in energy carriers, but also satisfies the growing needs of other countries of the world that are consumers of Russian energy products. The ever-increasing demand for raw materials and energy, as well as the periodic sharp jumps in energy prices, are positive factors for the growth of the Russian economy, allowing it to accumulate significant funds and form a budget surplus. An important component here is pipeline transport and power lines, which served, serve and will serve as one of the basic elements on which the economy of our country relies, until the natural resources and the mining potential of the state run out, and this will not happen soon.
