From 1 June 2026, goods imported by road from Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, and Kyrgyzstan move only through the SPOT system. For each shipment a pre-arrival declaration (DOPP, form KND 1160303) must be filed with the Russian Federal Tax Service two days in advance, the VAT and excise security deposit must be calculated and paid by the importer, and a QR code must be received and handed to the carrier. Within 10 business days after the shipment month, the customs statistical form must also be submitted to the Federal Customs Service. Without the QR, customs turns the truck back, the cargo idles, and the contract with the buyer is at risk. We take the documentation side of SPOT on ourselves: from the moment we receive the data from the client to filing the statistical form and controlling statuses with the tax authority.
We come in when EAEU road imports are already running or planned, and SPOT needs to be wired into the process correctly — without missed deadlines, tax-authority rejections, or border idle time.
Until now you imported from EAEU countries without DOPP or a security deposit. The whole process has changed and it isn't clear how to fit SPOT into the current logistics — who files DOPP, how the deposit is calculated, what to hand to the carrier.
Dozens of shipments per month, and every DOPP is assembled by hand. You need templates, an SLA with suppliers and carriers, status monitoring, and a single point of accountability.
The filed DOPP came back with an error — HS-code mismatch, wrong vehicle plate format, divergence from the invoice. Hours remain before the import, and a correction must be prepared and re-filed quickly.
Shipment data arrived after the standard cut-off. With the time left we need to assemble the DOPP, ensure the security deposit is paid, and obtain the QR — with no margin for error.
Accounting doesn't know form KND 1160303, the logistics manager has no qualified e-signature or machine-readable power of attorney, the lawyer hasn't worked out responsibility allocation. It's faster to delegate the documentation block to an external partner than to train staff from scratch.
The truck is already at the crossing point and the inspector has questions about the QR or the DOPP status. Emergency diagnostics and rapid work with statuses at the tax authority are needed before idle time begins.
We take the SPOT documentation track end to end: from receiving data from the client to controlling the actual border crossing and preparing data for the tax declaration.
We draw the line up front between standard SPOT support and what falls outside the scope or creates legal risk.
We don't accept the security deposit on our company's account. The SPOT deposit is always paid by the client from their own settlement account to the dedicated tax-authority budget code — any other arrangement creates a risk of the payment not being matched to the DOPP.
We don't file a DOPP based on knowingly incorrect data. If the HS code, vehicle plate, or supplier details look wrong, we ask the client to obtain confirmation from the supplier or carrier — and only then file.
We don't take responsibility for decisions of the tax authority, customs, or the carrier's actions at the border. We prepare documents and submit them on time. Tax-authority processing times, border stops, and the driver presenting the QR are outside our zone of responsibility.
We don't file the indirect-tax declaration and don't run the client's accounting. We prepare section 4 of the declaration with DOPP data and hand it to the client's accountant. Filing the declaration and tax accounting stay with the client or their tax adviser.
Two formats for different situations. Subscription — for recurring shipments. Rush mode — for one-off tasks or short-window situations.
For companies with steady EAEU import flows
We take the entire SPOT documentation flow under management. Fixed SLA, a dedicated specialist, monthly reporting. The fee depends on monthly DOPP volume.
Based on shipment volume — discussed after the initial brief
When the clock is already ticking or there is no recurring flow
We take on a single specific shipment or an urgent situation. We work on a prepayment basis, with no long-term commitments. Suited to those trying SPOT for the first time or facing a non-standard situation.
Fixed per deal or hourly in emergency situations
Not sure which format fits — describe the situation through the form below. We'll come back with a concrete proposal and price within one to two business days.
First we review the shipment and lock the SLA, then we move to filing the DOPP and supporting it through to the import.
We collect the contract, invoice, specification, supplier and carrier details from the client. We reconcile the planned import date with the DOPP filing schedule.
We complete form KND 1160303 in the importer's cabinet, run the checklist on every field, sign with a qualified e-signature under a machine-readable power of attorney, and submit to the tax authority.
We hand the client the payment order with the correct details and budget classification code. We monitor that the funds reach the unified tax account before the DOPP is filed.
Once the tax authority issues the QR, we deliver it to the driver and dispatcher through agreed channels. We confirm receipt before the import takes place.
We record the actual border crossing and prepare data for section 4 of the declaration. At month-end we deliver a report covering all DOPPs, amounts, and incidents.
All details are anonymised — client confidentiality matters more than a portfolio.
A Russian wholesale company purchases fresh vegetables from a supplier in the Turkestan region. From 1 June 2026, imports across the border with Kazakhstan will only be possible through the SPOT system, with mandatory DOPP filing and a security payment for each shipment.
With the client's typical dispatch schedule — three trucks every two weeks — any error in the DOPP data or delay with the QR code could mean the cargo being stopped at the border. For perishable goods, even one day of downtime means loss of product quality and direct financial loss.
We reviewed the client's standard purchasing cycle and formalised the procedure: the deadline for receiving data from the supplier, the data template for each truck, including carrier details, plate number, driver, route and specification, and the payment order format for the security payment. We completed a test run under the voluntary Federal Tax Service regime: three DOPP filings were submitted, statuses were accepted on the first attempt, and QR codes were received and sent to the drivers.
We set up a single Telegram contact point, agreed the escalation procedure for deviations and provided the client with a source-data checklist for the logistics team.
The client enters the mandatory SPOT regime on 1 June 2026 with a ready procedure tested on a real shipment. On the importer's side, the data collection process is structured; on our side, a dedicated specialist and timing rules are in place. Preparation was completed before the regulation entered into force, avoiding last-minute pressure during the first weeks of the mandatory regime.
