EEC Council supplemented Rules for determining the country of origin of goods with some commodity items

The Rules for determining the country of origin of certain types of goods for public procurement purposes were amended by the EEC Council's decision in important ways. The list of goods included in the Eurasian register of industrial goods for public procurement purposes on the basis of ST-1 certificate (issued in accordance with the Rules for determining the country of origin in the Commonwealth of Independent States dated November 20, 2009) has been supplemented with another 81 types of goods.

These include chandeliers, irons, microwave ovens, electrical appliances for making coffee or tea, mattresses, electric water heaters, vacuum cleaners, lifting gates, microscopes, and others.

According to Bakhyt Sultanov, EEC Minister in charge of Competition and Antitrust Regulation, now, the manufacturer can provide a Certificate of Origin ST-1 in order to include these goods in the Eurasian Register. “The supplements adopted today will significantly facilitate the procedure for entrepreneurs to be included in the Eurasian register, what is especially important given the social significance of these goods,” the EEC Minister noted.

In addition, the Council's decision extended the possibility of being included in the Eurasian Register of Industrial Goods on the basis of the ST-1 Certificate for eight items of special equipment until June 30, 2023, for trolleybuses - until the end of 2023, and for light industry goods and paper - until the end of 2024.
