At EEC headquarters, leading marketplaces met with Commission officials to discuss promoting EAEU goods on foreign markets through e-commerce; national regulators also took part. Source: Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC).
EEC Minister for Trade Andrey Slepnev noted that large volumes of foreign goods reach the Union’s domestic market online, while platform economics is sharpening focus on exporting Union-made products. He recalled existing and planned EAEU trade agreements with third countries where e-commerce is already on the agenda.
Slepnev said small and medium businesses stand to gain most — whether through direct expansion of Union platforms abroad or partnership arrangements between marketplaces. Participants reviewed practical export barriers, including permits for agri-food products, and plans to enter markets in China, Mongolia, India, and CIS partners.
According to the Association of E-commerce Companies, EAEU exports via e-commerce to third countries exceeded RUB 700 billion in 2025 and are expected to pass RUB 1 trillion this year.
