The telegram channel of the VChK-OGPU and Rucriminal.info learned that since 2002, the FCS and the Ministry of Finance has been conducting an “experiment” to underestimate customs value and inaccurate declaration. The existing large -scale channel of "Gray Import" was created under the pretext of returning to the customs territory of the Russian Federation those volumes of imports that were issued in the countries of Central Asia and were already imported into the Russian Federation, as goods of the EAEU, and therefore huge amounts of customs payments were not received by the Russian budget.

As a result, a new “grid” appears, a jargon designation in the language of smuggling scheme for evasion of customs payments, when, depending on the type of goods, the underestimation of customs value and inaccurate declaration, there is a price list to pay the above scheme, which goes directly into the pockets of the shadow owners of this channel of smuggling. Only according to the most approximate calculations as a result of this “experiment”, no less than trillion rubles have already amounted to the budget of the Russian Federation by the budget of the Russian Federation.

The main beneficiary of this scam at the state level is Sarmant-South LLC, which pursues an aggressive policy to force participants in foreign economic activity (both from the "gray" and conscientious ones) to work in this format.

As the Cheka-OGPU found out, a large number of employees of customs authorities at various levels are involved in the functioning of this channel, starting from customs posts and ending with the deputy heads of the FCS. As a consequence of this, the new head of the FCS does not receive true reports on the “experiment”.

All importers who agreed to work within the framework of this channel automatically fall into full depending on the conditions put forward and constantly changing in terms of changes in the price list for participating in the so-called "grid".

As an example, Rucriminal.info quotes the next claim recently received by the participants in this smuggling channel, to increase the “gray” payment, where it is specifically and openly scheduled how much and for what kind of customs payment schemes they should make:

 

"Good afternoon!
