11 Jul 2025 Customs processing procedure encourages industrial cooperation and export of EAEU countries The application of the customs processing procedure in the customs territory of the Eurasian Economic Union stimulates the development of industrial cooperation and exports of the Member States. This was emphasized by Vitaly Vovk, Deputy Director of the Eurasian Economic Commission's Industrial Policy Department, at a seminar on this topic held at the EEC's venue. According to Vitaly Vovk, this customs procedure, which provides for the use of foreign goods with temporary exemption from customs duties and taxes, helps improve the Union's production processes and increase the competitiveness of goods. In fact, it is one of the important elements of the integration potential of the Eurasian Five countries. “In order for the Commission to implement the initiatives by the Heads of the Union States to develop their own competencies and technologies in the manufacture of high-tech products and increase their exports to third countries, we should make fuller use of our integration potential,” Vitaly Vovk noted. “This is necessary to consolidate efforts to develop industrial cooperation and create new efficient mechanisms for the output of competitive products”. The seminar paid special attention to the practical application of the customs processing procedure, administrative aspects of its implementation by the Union States' customs authorities, and advantages for manufacturers and exporters. Among the industries where this procedure is or may be actively applied are aircraft and shipbuilding, railway machinery, automotive industry, including engine manufacturing, metal industry, pharmaceuticals, woodworking, chemical industry, light industry and a number of others. The analysis of the dynamics of cooperative deliveries in these sectors indicates a significant potential for developing the EAEU industrial cooperation and the expansion of exports of high-tech products to third-country markets. The seminar was organized with the assistance of the Russian Export Center Group. It was attended by more than 130 representatives of authorized government bodies, organizations, industry associations, and businesses of the EAEU countries.
