30 Nov 2023 EEC improves system for finding and identifying explosives and narcotic drugs The Eurasian Economic Commission finalized the unified standard requirements of the Eurasian Economic Union countries to the system for finding and identifying explosives and narcotic drugs, which is an essential part of the EAEU external border control. The document was adopted at a meeting of the Commission's Board on November 30. Previously, the Union countries applied different national standards. Monitoring devices were used, that could differ significantly in their characteristics. “The adoption of standard requirements within the EAEU will allow to harmonize the approach of the Union States in exercising customs control along the entire external border of the Union,” emphasized Eldar Alisherov, EEC Minister in charge of Customs Cooperation. “At the same time, the Unified Standard Requirements accommodate the differences in equipment at various types of checkpoints of the Union Member States.” The Minister noted that the document was aimed primarily at lowering the risk of illicit trafficking of narcotic drugs and explosives in the EAEU and optimizing standard requirements to the system for finding and identifying them. The adoption of uniform standard requirements will help improve the safety of citizens of the Eurasian Five countries.
Common system for customs transit between EAEU and third countries is created 24 Nov 2023 Common system for customs transit between EAEU and third countries is created The Eurasian Economic Commission's Council approved the Agreement on the common system for customs transit between the Eurasian Economic Union and third party (third parties). The document defines the main principles of the common system for customs transit between the Union and a third party (third parties). The practical implementation of the Agreement on the CSCT after its adoption will simplify and optimize the transportation procedure, both by minimizing the actions of regulatory services and by reducing business overhead costs. This will be achieved through the use of a single transit declaration in the form of an electronic document; the application of common security for fulfilling the obligation to pay customs duties, taxes, special, anti-dumping and countervailing duties; and the use of certain special simplifications granted to authorized economic operators of the Union and third parties. Besides, these objectives will be achieved through the use of navigation seals for monitoring the transportation of goods along the entire route of transported (shipped) goods under the customs procedure of customs transit through the Union's customs territory and the customs territories of third parties, as well as mutual recognition of decisions adopted by customs authorities and the results of customs control. The draft Agreement on the common system for customs transit between the EAEU and third party (third parties) was prepared jointly by the experts from the Ministries and Departments of the Union States and the Commission as part of implementing the Strategic Directions for Developing the Eurasian Economic Integration until 2025. The Agreement has been sent to the EAEU States for internal legal procedures required for its signing.

During the work of the Contact Committee, the EEC representatives discussed certain issues of customs administration of international mail in the context of the pilot project on foreign e-commerce being conducted in the Union States, as well as proposed amendments to the EAEU Customs Code with regard to foreign e-commerce with national postal operators.

The Universal Postal Union (UPU) is a specialized agency of the United Nations in the postal sector. The UPU plays a leading role in promoting the continued enhancement of postal services and serves as the main mechanism for cooperation between postal services. The Memorandum of Understanding between Commission and the WCO was signed in 2016.
