The Eurasian Economic Union countries start monitoring traffic using navigation seals in accordance with the Agreement on their use. The regulation affects transportation carried out through the territories of two or more EAEU Member States.

The Agreement on using navigation seals in the EAEU envisages the gradual introduction of a tracking system taking into account the categories of goods and the modes of transport used. Its implementation is divided into three stages, with a total duration of approximately 1.5 years.

At the first stage, navigation seals will be applied to:

– sanctioned goods and some types of excisable goods including alcohol and tobacco transported by road and (or) by rail under the customs transit or export procedures, as well as transported between the Member States in mutual trade;

– some categories of goods such as clothes, shoes, devices transported by road under the customs transit procedure;

– nicotine-containing products and primary nicotine materials classified under 2404, 2939 79 000 0 and 2939 80 000 0 of the Single Commodity Nomenclature of Foreign Economic Activity of the Eurasian Economic Union (CN FEA of the EAEU) transported by road and exported from the EAEU customs territory under the customs export procedure.

“Navigation seals are an efficient technological mechanism that contributes towards the reliability and transparency of logistics operations, helps reduce the customs and other state control over goods transported within the Union's customs territory, ensuring compliance with the legal conditions for their circulation,” emphasized Ruslan Davydov, Minister in charge of Customs Cooperation of the Eurasian Economic Commission. “In the future, the seals will become an integral part of a comprehensive system for monitoring imports and the EAEU countries' internal trade turnover.”

The traffic is monitored by authorized national operators of the EAEU Member States.

Authorized national sealing operators:

Armenia – ArmGPS

Belarus – Beltamozhservice

Kazakhstan – Institute of Space Technique and Technology

Kyrgyzstan – State Customs Infrastructure

Russia – Digital Platform Development Center
