In order to prove that goods have been exported, exporters must submit a written application, containing information about how the export will actually take place, and a "return copy" of the customs freight declaration to the customs post where the goods will be cleared for export. Within one month after registration of the application, the customs authorities return the copy of the customs freight declaration, with a stamp on the reverse side. This stamped copy serves as the official document supporting physical export of the goods and may be required to claim tax exemptions, refunds etc.
Order of the State Customs Committee of 17 October 1996 no. 01-14/1181
