Article 225. Cargo operations with goods transported under customs control

Cargo operations with goods transported under customs control shall be conducted in areas specially designated for these purposes at locations of delivery of goods and during working hours of a customs authority. Upon a formal application of an authorized individual or a carrier, implementation of cargo operations in other locations and (or) outside established working hours of a customs authority, which is responsible for an area where this activity needs to take place, shall be allowed under control of this customs authority.

If a vehicle transporting goods under customs control is damaged, temporary storage of goods in locations of temporary storage established in Article 84 of this Code shall be allowed. Period of such storage shall be established by a customs authority based on the time required to repair a vehicle, which should not exceed the period established for goods to be under the customs regime of temporary storage.

The customs authority can refuse to conduct cargo operations with goods only if it may result in loss of goods, change in their properties, or make it impossible to conduct further customs control over these goods.

In the event of reloading of goods transported under customs control to another vehicle, a carrier, who accepts goods for further transportation under customs control, shall be responsible for compliance with requirements and conditions of this Chapter.
