What has changed with the adoption of the order of the Ministry of Finance №126n on admission conditions
On 05 November 2018, a new order on preferences for Russian goods, order No. 126n of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation Of 4 June 2018 "on conditions for the admission of goods originating from a foreign state or a group of foreign States for the purpose of procurement of goods for state and municipal needs" (hereinafter – order No. 126n), came into force. It replaced the order of the Ministry of economic development of Russia of March 25, 2014. No. 155 "on the conditions of admission of goods originating from foreign States for the purposes of procurement of goods, works and services for state and municipal needs" (hereinafter – order No. 155). Customers should note that these regulations have both common features and differences.
Common for these regulations is the code list ОКПД2 in a relationship, which establishes the conditions for the admission. In order No. 126н description codes updated in accordance with the latest edition of the Russian classification of products on types of economic activities.
In the list of goods in respect of which sets out the conditions of admission in order No. 126н a note that when using this list one should be guided both by the code in accordance with the national classification of products by economic activities (JECFA or ОКПД2) and the specified name of the product. In this connection, you should pay attention not only to the code itself OKPD2, but also to the description of such code. For example, the description for code ОКПД2 32.5 in the Annex to the order №126н supplemented by the indication of stents for coronary arteries and catheters.
Another difference between the orders in question is related to the list of goods for which the conditions of admission are established. So in point 3 of the order No. 126n it is said that the goods specified in the list and not specified in it cannot be the subject of one contract (one lot). Recall that the order number 155 in such cases simply did not apply. In this connection, customers may need to change the range of purchased products in the corresponding position of the schedule, excluding from it products not included in the list.
