The customs territory of the Customs union - the uniform customs territory of the Customs union which is made by territories of member states of the Customs union, and also exclusive economic zones and continental shelves of member states of the Customs union, artificial islands, installations, constructions and other objects concerning which member states of the Customs union possess the exclusive jurisdiction.
SINGLE EXTERNAL TARIFF (common external tariff) a Tariff applicable to trade operations of any of entering into the Customs union (customs union) or a common market (common market) of the countries with the outside world.
Advantages and shortcomings of the Customs Union for Kazakhstan
Advantages:
creation of the Customs union promotes preservation of workplaces at the enterprises which are today noncompetitive in comparison with the analogs from the developed countries;
association of the capitals and opportunities of the different enterprises, does them steadier and competitive in the regional and world markets;
opening of new sales markets;
reduction of the time and financial expenditure connected with administrative restrictions and barriers;
simplification of the customs legislation owing to its unification.
Shortcomings:
Russia will use the dominating economic situation for providing rules more favorable to within the Customs union;
new standard legislative base
Problems and prospects of formation and development of the customs union.
On the majority of questions the agreements specifying some provisions Customs Code of the Customs Union on separate types of goods, on features of customs operations and so on work. Uniform rates of the import customs duties work. Interaction experience between customs services of three countries is saved up. Both within preparation of materials for the Commission of the Customs Union (CCU), and within the solution of quick and administrative questions. The most problem country is Kazakhstan. Quantity of rates of a common customs tariff on which there are distinctions, - more than 400. In Russia rates of the import customs duties are higher because of the scale of economy and that segment of the industry which should be protected, regulated. Certainly, in such inadequate conditions there are signals and signs that certain participants of foreign economic activity (foreign trade activities) try to use these distinctions illegally. While till July first of the current year so-called "front" control on borders of Belarus and Kazakhstan remains, and after this date of such control on internal borders any more won't be, and the problem actual now, remains that and after this date. Attempts to resolve a situation are made. Between economic departments of Russia and Kazakhstan there is an active negotiation process.
Creation of the Customs union is an important and responsible step on a way to improvement of the economic relations between the countries. First of all introduction of common customs tariffs on more than 11 000 goods was carried out, the customs duties are cancelled and economic limits are lifted. Such step, in opinions of experts, will allow to increase gross domestic product of the countries - participants of the Customs union by 15% within 5 years. Besides, the formed Customs union will promote simplification of creation of cooperation chains. Elimination of many economic barriers between the states and free movement of goods will cause competition growth, and, as we know, the competition promotes improvement of quality of developed production and reduction of prices.
Formation of the Customs union between Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan for the purpose of simplification of trade between them is only the first step on a way of the entry of the union to the World Trade Organization.
