Transit goods: to return lost positions

Goods transit is a customs procedure when the customs controls goods carried between two customs organs of Russian Federation, including transportation through the territory of a foreign country without collecting the customs duties, taxes, and using measures of economic policy. Evidently, more transit cargoes passes through the territory of Russia, more transport staff is needed to serve and carry cargo. According to Ministry of Railways' calculations profit from transportation of a transit stream from Far East to Central Asia and from South-Eastern Asia to Europe can be compared to one from Russian oil export. If we solve the problems of getting additional cargo volumes for Russian railways, we will get good profit, we can speak about millions of dollars, and make appropriate conditions for returning the positions of the Soviet Union concerned to goods of foreign owners transportation in transit connections.
