21 Nov 2025 EEC and EAEU States discuss new measures to expand simplifications for AEOs On November 19–20, there was a meeting of the working group under the Advisory Committee on Customs Regulation chaired by Kuat Rakhimov, Director of the EEC Department for Customs Legislation and Law Enforcement Practice. The focus was on expanding simplifications for authorized economic operators (AEOs) and their practical application. The parties discussed proposals on optimizing preliminary declaration for operators with the possibility of releasing goods at checkpoints, as well as performing operations with regard to goods placed at AEO sites in accordance with the customs warehouse procedure without obtaining a permit from the customs authority. There was a continued discussion of the initiative on the possibility of AEOs to use deferred or installment payments of customs duties without providing a collateral. The meeting considered the specifics of applying simplifications when declaring goods moved as part of multilateral transactions featuring AEOs and third parties. The experts noted the need for further analysis of this matter to ensure the balance between the convenience of operators and preventing misuse of simplifications. The authorized economic operator institution is an internationally recognized instrument in the interaction of businesses and customs authorities. The AEO status provides companies with a range of simplifications subject to compliance with the established requirements. The working group on developing the AEO institution was established in 2014 and makes proposals on improving it within the EAEU.

21 Nov 2025 Valentin Tataritsky: "The uniform application of the Union's technical regulations is an important tool to ensure trust in the unified technical regulation system" Valentin Tataritsky, Minister in charge of Technical Regulation of the Eurasian Economic Commission, told about the necessity and importance of the uniform application of technical regulations in the Eurasian Economic Union Member States and the role of the Union's governing bodies in the technical regulation processes at the plenary session of the EAEU Court International Conference in Minsk on November 20. "Creating the unified technical regulation system in the Eurasian economic space is our basic tool," Valentin Tataritsky mentioned. "Having the status of direct-action documents, the EAEU technical regulations have not only created a system for regulating relations between manufacturers, importers and consumers but have also become a basis for cooperative and trade ties and the subject of interstate agreements on mutual trade terms." The EEC Minister touched upon new decisions to eliminate legal gaps in the unified technical regulation system within the EAEU. He paid special attention to the tools to achieve uniformity in applying technical regulation provisions. According to Valentin Tataritsky, timely publication of technical regulations and bringing their contents to the executors and monitoring of applying technical regulations used as a feedback mechanism that enables identifying problematic situations requiring solutions at the EAEU level or in a certain Member State in 2024–2025 were supplemented with the procedure for mandatory periodic assessment of the scientific and technical level of the enforced Union's technical regulations and lists of standards thereto. "Such assessment is aimed at maintaining a high level of safety requirements in our countries," the EEC Minister said. Now the Commission together with the Member States is working on the Procedure for Preparing Clarifications on Applying the Union's Technical Regulations. "This December the draft Procedure will be reviewed by the Commission's Board," Valentin Tataritsky clarified. "We believe that the procedure for preparing clarifications on applying technical regulation provisions will become another important and relevant instrument for ensuring a uniform approach to applying the Union's technical regulations. It is fully integrated with the existing technical regulation system and facilitates its further fine-tuning.
