25 Apr 2025 Ruslan Davydov Spoke About Importance of Customs Regulation in Developing Eurasian Integration Ruslan Davydov, Minister in charge Customs Cooperation of the Eurasian Economic Commission, spoke about relevant matters of customs regulation in the Eurasian Economic Union at the research-to-practice conference "Customs: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow". It discussed issues of digitalization, interaction with businesses, international integration and legislation improvement. According to Ruslan Davydov, global experience shows that integration processes can be successful only if the participating countries cooperate closely in the field of customs regulation. One of the main objectives of customs is to facilitate and speed up trade procedures, ultimately ensuring cost savings, increased mutual trade and a comfortable business environment. Today, customs authorities are actively implementing modern technologies, such as electronic declarations and automated control systems, which can significantly improve efficiency and reduce the time required to handle cargo at borders. This, in turn, opens up new business opportunities, promotes investment and creates favorable conditions for developing the member economies of Eurasian integration associations. "Under the Treaty on the EAEU we have common customs regulation, a common customs territory, a common trade regime with third countries, so we need to strive for unification. This is also a question of the international competitiveness of our Union as a common customs territory and its transit potential," Ruslan Davydov said. "The Eurasian Union is one seventh of the Earth's landmass, it is a bridge between China and Europe. After all, we need to take full advantage of these geographical benefits of ours." Due to the fact that the conference was held shortly before the Victory Day, the EEC Minister in charge of Customs Cooperation paid special attention to the contribution of customs officers in achieving victory in the Great Patriotic War. He emphasized that during the war the main supply routes passed through the Far East and the Islamic Republic of Iran, generally along the now actively developing West-East and North-South international corridors.
17 Apr 2025 Ruslan Davydov and Chairman of Belarusian State Customs Committee Vladimir Orlovsky discussed cooperation issues Ruslan Davydov, Minister in charge of Customs Cooperation of the Eurasian Economic Commission, met with Vladimir Orlovsky, Chairman of the State Customs Committee of the Republic of Belarus, in Minsk. The two sides discussed the issues of interaction between the EEC and the State Customs Committee of Belarus concerning the implementation of common processes in the customs sector, delivering on the instructions of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council on controlling the customs value of imported goods and implementing the agreement on the use of electronic navigation seals. In particular, the initiatives of the State Customs Committee of Belarus for clarifying a number of provisions of the Eurasian Economic Union law regulating the customs transit procedure were considered. In addition, the meeting participants drew attention to the need to use the world's best practices in the operations of border crossing points and their digitalization, which is one of the key elements in increasing their throughput capacity and contributes to the development of the EAEU transit potential. During his visit, Ruslan Davydov looked at the functioning of the Minsk free economic zone, the residents of which actively use Union exemptions for the free customs zone procedure. The main sectors where Minsk FEZ enterprises operate are machine building and metalworking, automotive industry, woodworking, production of construction materials, electronics, printing and packaging.
16 Apr 2025 Commission discussed simplified procedure for filling in declarations for goods The Eurasian Economic Commission held a meeting of the working group on customs declaration under the specialized Advisory Committee, chaired by Grigor Ohanyan, Deputy Director of the EEC Department of Customs Legislation and Law Enforcement Practice. The meeting discussed a number of initiatives of the Eurasian Economic Union countries related to changes in the rules for filling in a declaration for goods. In particular, in order to simplify exports of goods, it is proposed that information on the previous customs procedure and document should not be completed when exporting previously imported goods and those which have acquired the status of Union goods. Also on proposals by businesses, changes have been initiated aimed at the possibility of specifying by what vehicles exported goods are to be transported. This will make it possible to submit a declaration in advance. The Working Group on Customs Declaration was established in 2021 by decision of the EEC Advisory Committee on Customs Regulation. The scope of its activities covers issues of declarations for goods, including those related to the form and procedure of filling in a declaration for goods.
03 Apr 2025 Association of European Businesses' representatives discussed developing customs regulation across EAEU Ruslan Davydov, Minister in charge of Customs Cooperation of the Eurasian Economic Commission, took part in a customs conference organized by the Association of European Businesses in Moscow. At the plenary session, the EEC Minister spoke about the plans to improve customs regulation, paying special attention to the work to develop the transit potential of the Eurasian Economic Union. Ruslan Davydov explained the need for priority development of checkpoint infrastructure on the external customs border of the Eurasian Economic Union as a crucial element in establishing transport and logistics corridors across the EAEU. "It is important to develop not only physical infrastructure, but also to introduce breakthrough digital technologies to create a unified integrated information system of border crossing points. All EAEU countries have positive experience in such activities. Now it is necessary to set about unifying technological solutions based on the best global practices," Ruslan Davydov emphasized. In order to ensure coordinated and synchronized work on fitting out checkpoints on the EAEU customs border, the EEC is currently developing common mandatory minimum requirements for the relevant infrastructure, the implementation of which will simplify customs operations and reduce the time required to pass a checkpoint while maintaining the necessary supervision level.

We met with the Member of the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission Danil Ibrayev to clarify these questions.
