An EEC working group under the Advisory Committee on Customs Regulation is refining declaration rules for express consignments and e-commerce goods, focusing on automated controls and simpler export from Union marketplaces. Source: Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC).
Kazakhstan proposed adding coded data on prohibitions and restrictions to express-cargo and e-commerce declarations so document checks can be automated, operations sped up and parcel delivery shortened.
The second track is e-commerce exports. Emphasis fell on a simplified declaration for goods that foreign individuals buy on EAEU marketplaces and online platforms, meant to help local sellers reach foreign markets. The Commission will draft amendments to the filling rules for that declaration.
The framework rests on Commission Decision No. 142 of 28 August 2018 (express-cargo goods declaration), No. 158 of 16 October 2018 (passenger declaration for express cargo) and No. 143 of 17 December 2024 (e-commerce goods declaration).
The group was set up in 2018; its remit covers declaring express consignments, international postal items and e-commerce goods.
