Tatyana Dubrovskaya, Deputy Director of the EEC Department for Customs Legislation and Enforcement Practice, spoke about the changes being made to the legislation of the Eurasian Economic Union regarding the regulation of external foreign e-commerce, as well as about the plans of the Eurasian Economic Commission in that area at a round table within the framework of the 2023 International Customs Forum.

According to her, customs authorities need modern approaches to the administration of cross-border electronic commerce that promote the development of trade and simultaneously ensure the safety and protection of the population and economies of our countries.

“The new regulation will ensure professionalization of activities and convenience for end consumers, who will not have to deal with customs clearance and will receive their parcels on time without the need to perform any additional actions,” noted Tatyana Dubrovskaya. "All support functions, including the accountability to customs authorities, will be assumed by a new participant in the supply chain – the e-commerce operator. We have defined the framework of cooperation between that operator, the customs and the buyer.”
