Importing goods into the territory of the Russian Federation or exporting them is a rather laborious process in terms of preparing and collecting the necessary package of documents. Moreover, depending on a number of factors, the list of documents is different. There is a certain list of goods that are subject to special requirements when they are imported into the country or exported outside the Russian Federation. One of these products is "encryption devices" that require a special document - FSB notifications .
What is "FSB notification"
Notification by the FSB means a special document that gives the right to import /export of encryption equipment without additional registration of other permits. Issued by the FSB to control the use of this type of goods. The specificity of such equipment lies in the possibility of its use in illegal and illegal activities. Therefore, more serious requirements are imposed on these products than on ordinary household appliances.
A special list of devices has been established that must be notified: cell phones, routers for Wi-Fi transmission, smart cards, devices for cryptography, tablets, computers, radio communication devices, etc. When importing or exporting goods from the EAEU, license of the Ministry of Industry and Trade .
Authority issuing the notification
Each country of the Customs Union (Eurasian Economic Union) has its own state body for the child will spend encryption equipment.
In Russia, the Center for Licensing, Certification and Protection of State Secrets of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (CLSZ FSB) deals with the registration and issuance of the FSB notification.
Who has the right to submit documents for notification
The manufacturer of imported products submits documents for registration of the notification.
Also, by power of attorney, this can be done by a legal entity specially authorized for these actions
How to issue a notification
It is necessary to fill out and submit a special declaration together with a package of necessary documents to the Central Clinical Hospital of the FSB. Also, the manufacturer provides his goods for examination.
For each device, its own document is drawn up (except for a batch of devices of the same type, only their number is indicated here).
All documents must be registered with the FSB in the notification database. If registration in the state register did not take place, then such notification does not matter and the customs authority will not let this product through.
Thus, the notification of the FSB is a document authorizing the import /export of cryptographic means when passing through customs. These goods are under the strict control of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation.
