The Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission has introduced amendments to the Procedure for Completing E-Commerce Goods Declarations.
In particular, when declaring vehicles, mobile phones and tablets with mobile communication functionality, declarants will now be required to provide information necessary for their identification and for the assessment of customs duties and taxes.
The amendments also regulate the procedure for indicating in e-commerce goods declarations information on the country of origin of goods, the application of tariff preferences, and the calculation of customs fees for the declaration as a whole.
The e-commerce goods declaration will be applied from the enactment date of the amendments to the EAEU Customs Code, both for goods purchased directly by individuals through e-commerce marketplaces and for goods sold to individuals from warehouses already located within the Union.“Declaring such information will minimize requests from customs authorities for additional documents and data, reduce the time required for customs procedures and, consequently, shorten delivery times for end recipients,” noted Sergey Shklyaev, the EEC Minister in charge of Customs Cooperation.
A Protocol Amending the Union’s Customs Code with regard to foreign e-commerce regulation was signed at the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council on December 25, 2023.
Decision No. 143 of the EEC Board dated December 17, 2024 approved the form and procedure for filling out the declaration for e-commerce goods.
