The Council of the Eurasian Economic Commission made a decision to determine additional categories of goods for which navigation seals will be used to track shipments in accordance with the Agreement on the application of such seals for tracking shipments in the Eurasian Economic Union dated 2022.


The above Agreement has been enacted. The EAEU countries are finalizing the measures necessary to launch shipment tracking; afterward, the Commission will make a decision.

The proposed regulation will affect nicotine-containing products and raw materials for nicotine classified under headings 2404, 2939 79 000 0, 2939 80 000 0 of the EAEU Unified Commodity Nomenclature of Foreign Economic Activities, exported from the territory of the Union in accordance with the customs procedure for export by road transport.

These goods will be tracked from the first phase of shipment tracking in accordance with the Agreement.

The decision of the EEC Council was prepared based on proposals of entrepreneurs with their direct participation in the work of the Commission's expert group. Its implementation will make it possible to suppress the distribution of illegal nicotine-containing products in the EAEU.
