Simplification of the procedure for crossing the border for vehicles with foreign license plates

The Parliament has begun work on the legislative initiative of the Government of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, which provides for improving the procedure for temporary import of vehicles in a special manner with the payment of a vignette fee. The Supreme Council deputies reviewed the amendments to the Customs Code in the first reading. The idea is to provide for the possibility of temporary import of a vehicle in a special manner without mandatory confirmation of the right to use the vehicle.

In addition, such documents are not required in most foreign countries. Therefore, situations often arise at checkpoints when documents confirming the right to use such vehicles are missing. This makes their temporary import in a special manner with the payment of a vignette fee impossible. This is despite the fact that the other conditions of temporary import established by law are observed.

So, any person who imports a vehicle with foreign license plates, having a registration certificate (certificate of registration), without presenting a power of attorney will be able to formalize the procedure for temporary import in a special manner of a car with foreign license plates and legally move around the territory of Pridnestrovie after the adoption of the legislative initiative in the second final reading and the entry into force of the amendments.

Deputies of the Supreme Council of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic agreed with the presented initiative. It was adopted at the plenary session in the first non-final reading. Work on the law-in-draft will be continued afterwards.
