The current russian word for customs tamozhnya in the times of the mongol tatar yoke

Другие языки

      The
current Russian word for Customs, tamozhnya,
appeared in the times of Mongol-Tatar yoke. The word tamga
in Tatar, meant “Customs tax, the official who collected it, and
the stamped seal or statement showing that it had been paid”. Each
market had its tamozhnya,
and the right to collect duties could be purchased from the State.
The right was often given to powerful merchants.

      The
Russian Customs service, however, predates even the Mongol-Tatar yoke
(1237-1480). Some three centuries before, in Kievan Rus, taxes were
collected for the transportation of goods through the frontiers of
the individual princedoms.

      Thus,
Russia has had a Customs service in some form during the past 1000
years. Moreover, for almost all of that history, it has been much
more than a force for keeping out contraband. In fact, it has been a
powerful administrative body, serving mainly protectionist interests.

      The
first Russian Customs statute was handed down in 1667. It was strict
towards foreigners, who were allowed to trade only in frontier towns
on pain of confiscation. A special tsar’s certificate was required
for trading further inside the country.

      Such
protectionism went
on for most of the next 300 years. Every tsar, from Peter the Great
to Nicolas II, approved laws limiting the import of foreign goods and
defending Russian producers.

1. Прочтите
текст, пользуясь словарем.

Российская таможня

      Современное
русское слово «таможня» появилось во
времена Татаро –монгольского ига. Слово
«тамга» на татарском означало «Таможенная
пошлина, чиновник, собирающий ее и
ставящий штампы или подтверждение того,
что она была уплачена». Каждый рынок
имел свою таможню, и право собирать
налоги могло быть получено у государства.
Это право часто предоставлялось
влиятельным торговцам.

Российская
таможенная служба,   однако,
существовала еще до Татаро- монгольского
ига (1237-1480). Тремя веками ранее, в Киевской
Руси, взимались налоги за провоз товаров
через границы личных княжеств.

     Таким
образом, у России была таможенная служба
в особой форме во время последнего
тысячелетия. Более того, в
течение почти всей истории она являлась
чем-то большим, чем сила для изъятия
контрабанды. На самом деле она была
могущественной административной
структурой, служащей, в основном,
протекционистским интересам.

Первый
Российский таможенный устав был принят
в 1667. Он был достаточно строг к иностранцам,
которым было позволено торговать только
в пограничных городах под угрозой
конфискации. Специальный сертификат,
выдаваемый царем, требовался для торговли
внутри страны.      

Такой
протекционизм продолжался в течение
следующего трехсотлетия. Каждый царь,
от Петра 1 до Николая 2, поддерживал
законы, ограничивающие импорт заграничных
товаров     и
поддерживающих российского производителя.

История Российской таможниНынешнее российское слово для таможни, таможня, возникла во временамонголо-татарское иго. Слово тамга, на татарском языке, означало “ Таможенный налог, чиновник, который собрал его, и гербовой печатью, либо заявление, подтверждающее, что онбыли оплачены”.Каждый рынок имеет свою таможня и право собирать пошлины может быть приобретенот государства. Это право часто была приобретена мощная купцов. Однако Российская таможенная служба, даже до монгольского ига.Около трех веков до того, в Киевской Руси, налоги были собраны заперевозка грузов через границы отдельных княжеств.Таким образом, Россия имеет таможенные услуги в той или иной форме на протяжении последних 1000 лет.Первый российский Таможенный устав были вынесены в 1667 году. Он был строг киностранцы, которым было разрешено торговать только в пограничных городах на больконфискации. Каждый царь, от Петра Великого до Николая II, утвердил законы, ограничивающиеввоз иностранных товаров и защите российских производителей.В советский период внешняя торговля была жестко монополизирована в СССРи обычаи не имели каких-либо важных функций в экономике или игралважную роль.Многое было сделано для создания таможенного законодательства в России в период 1991 — 94.Были два важных законов: “Таможенный кодекс Российской Федерации”и ”О таможенном тарифе”.

The History of Russian Customs

The current Russian word for Customs, tamozhnya, originated in the times of

the Mongol-Tatar yoke. The word tamga, in Tatar, meant “ a Customs tax, the

official who collected it, and the stamped seal or statement verifying that it had

been paid”.

Each market had its tamozhnya, and the right to collect duties could be purchased

from the State. This right was often acquired by powerful merchants.

The Russian Customs Service, however, predates even the Mongol Yoke.

Some three centuries before, in Kievan Rus, taxes were collected for the

transportation of goods through the frontiers of its individual princedoms.

Thus, Russia has had a Customs Service in some form for the past 1000 years.

The first Russian Customs statute was handed down in 1667. It was strict towards

foreigners, who were allowed to trade only in frontier towns on pain of

confiscation. Every tsar, from Peter the Great to Nicolas II, approved laws limiting

the import of foreign goods and defending Russian producers.

During the Soviet period foreign trade was strictly monopolized in the USSR

and Customs neither had any significant function in the economy or played any

important role.

Much was done to create Customs legislation in Russia in the period 1991- 94.

Two important laws were adopted: “The Customs Code of the Russian Federation”

and ”On Customs Tariff”. All provisions and regulations in these documents are of

the world standard.

Russia has the world’s longest border to police, much of it newly created and

has a modern, multi-functioning Customs Service. It carries out the same functions

as the Customs of other developed countries: fiscal functions, regulation oа foreign

trade by means of tariff and non-tariff methods, law enforcement, collection and

keeping of customs statistics concerning foreign trade, etc.
