Risk Management Systems (RMS)
Understatement of the customs cost of goods when
declaring and motivating it by the fact that a
full package of documents has been submitted
(agreement, invoice, price list, payment
documents and other documents justifying customs
cost) by a participant of foreign economic
activity

• Additional inspection on customs cost is assigned
  in case of signs of unreliability of the declared
  customs cost

• Automatic organization of RMS of aggregate price
  information based on real declarations without
  participation of a man taking into account data
  bases of FCS and SCC of the Republic of Belarus
  is being used

System Problems Influencing Implementation of
Customs Cost Control

• Problems of data base correctness of electronic
  copies of declarations for goods in TAIS-2 for
  the analysis of the customs cost

Unreliable/incomplete filling by the customs
applicants of the goods description in column 31
of DG according to the requirements of the
Instruction on procedure of filling the
declaration for goods

Information Policy Service and PR of NECK
Atameken, 23 .01. 2012
In Kazakhstan, the RMS profiles are adjusted in
such a way that about 80 of all cargos falls
under additional inspection, whereas goods made
in China are subject to 100 control.
As the practice shows, additional inspections are
assigned almost for each supply of goods, and the
importers have to pay customs payments for each
supply individually in accordance with the price
information organized by customs authorities.
11
Experts of Atameken and Kazakhstans
entrepreneurs believe that the process of customs
clearance has not been simplified with the
introduction of RMS, but to the contrary has
become more complicated and has increased
multiply the red-tape and corruption..
Repeated requests of Atameken to bring RMS to
its initial ideology simplification of
formalities for bona fide participants of FEA
have led to nothing
Experts of Atameken are convinced that making
the criteria of risk assessment as well as
decision of control and risk management system
itself available for foreign economic activity
participants, the entrepreneurs could optimize
the process of goods registration, decrease the
contact with the customs employees, and
consequently corruption developments.
