The transition from the import notification to the upcoming delivery document is not just a change in the name of the document, but a change in the entire logic of interaction with the SPOT system at the input stage of the process. The DPP becomes the main document that records the intention to import a specific batch of goods and launches related procedures — from a security payment to the subsequent registration of an indirect tax return.
One working day to correct the data is a tight deadline by any standards of customs administration. For comparison, most administrative procedures in the customs sphere traditionally take several days or weeks to complete. Here, the bill is calculated for hours within one working day.
The practical logic of this restriction is clear from the point of view of the regulator: the DPP starts a chain of subsequent actions — the calculation of a security payment, the formation of a QR code for crossing the border, synchronization with the declaration on indirect taxes. A prolonged correction of an error in the source document slows down the entire subsequent chain, so the system is designed so that either the data is correct the first time, or the correction occurs almost instantly.
For importers and customs representatives, this means a specific operational task: the process of collecting and verifying data for the DPP should be fine-tuned before submission, not after. An error discovered on the second business day after submission is technically no longer subject to standard correction — and alternative mechanisms for eliminating such a situation are much more complicated and take longer than a one-day correction.
A practical step for companies working with supplies from the EAEU is to use the remaining time until October 1 not to wait, but to test the accuracy of filling in data on current import notifications. Debugging the process in the current, milder mode is the only way to approach the transition to DPP with a guarantee that the data will be correct on the first attempt, and not with the expectation of a one—day correction window, which may not be enough for a complex error.
