One of the ten thousand sanctions the EU has imposed on the Russian Federation was a ban on the import of cars worth more than EUR 50,000. Of course, the American and Japanese counterparts are also present. It seems that the rich all over the country must be sad and sick because they will have to drive old Mercedes and Cadillac, they can’t trump any more with the new Lexus. However, a person who has achieved success and prosperity is arranged slightly differently: waves of restrictions and prohibitions break against natural ingenuity and ingenuity, deeply and reliably sewn into the gene of a Russian person. So the ban was initially doomed, and a few days after its introduction, history itself confirmed the dogma.
The basic principle of any sanctions is the money trail. Any transfer via SWIFT can be traced. Let’s face it, this rule applies to any payment system except downright criminal systems. Despite the fact that Swift is a private company, people are regularly interested in moving money around the planet and very specific people with very understandable tasks do it. The ban thus automatically “covers” any transfer above a certain amount or from the account of the “penalized” bank. The receiving bank, having seen such a transaction, simply does not accept it and turns it over. The consequences far outweigh the profits, and no one wants to take risks.
The second barrier is customs. She simply does not let the purchased car pass, citing legal restrictions. If you can think of anything else with the “borderline” options – buying or spending a used car for say 49,990 – such a trick won’t work with the new Range Rover, Mercedes s-class or BMW X7. And this is where ingenuity comes in.
The classic way to buy used cars in Europe looks like this: A car is bought at an auction or from a private individual, which goes on a car transport ship to Vilnius or on a ferry to Klaipeda, from there it goes to Belarus, where it goes through customs, then it receives an SBCTS, an ERA -GLONASS button and a vehicle passport. This will not work with “sub-sanctioned” cars. However, there is an alternative option that will allow you to get any car.
The holder of dual citizenship – a passport of the Russian Federation or Belarus, and also necessarily any EU country – buys a car in the Old World for himself, crosses the European border as a citizen, and then the Russian border also as a civilian. Neither one nor the other border guards customs officials have the right to stop and make claims.
Furthermore, the “buyer” comes to the customs office of the place of residence and “hands in”: I want to clear the car through customs. After paying the fee, receiving documents and arranging the “era”, the car gets a TCP. And it is safely sold to those who have dreamed about it and longed for it. Everything according to the law, no cheating.
