Special-purpose branch of Blagoveshchensk customs station established for Amur GPP
Temporary customs control zone
This customs zone has been created because of remoteness of the construction site from the nearest customs station (200 km). Otherwise equipment delivery logistics would be way more complicated and would take longer time.
Now, equipment required for construction of the plant undergoes customs clearance and declaration directly at the territory of the future plant. This helps perform the required customs procedures in a short time, which is important for the purpose of compliance with the construction work schedule.
Temporary customs control zone
Beginning August, the amount of cargo delivered to Amur GPP will only be growing. The peak will be in 2018 and 2019 when delivery of the gas dehydration and fractionation units and cargoes for the utilities, infrastructure and offsites will commence. In future, six zones for temporary customs storage will be created at Amur GPP facilities: five of them within the main site and one on the territory of the temporary jetty on river Zeya.
