25 Jul 2025 Register of third-party restrictive measures against EAEU and its Member States updated Following regular monitoring by the Eurasian Economic Commission, an updated Register of third-party restrictive measures against the Eurasian Economic Union and its Member States has been published on the Trade web portal. At present, 271 restrictive measures have been identified that may act as barriers to foreign trade on the part of the EAEU main trade partners and countries with which trade and economic agreements have been concluded or are being negotiated. Along with that, Iran's restrictive measure, which imposed a ban on importing confectionery products from third countries, was lifted after the full-fledged Free Trade Agreement between the EAEU and the Islamic Republic of Iran came into effect on May 15, 2025. In accordance with the provisions of the Agreement, the parties undertook not to establish or maintain prohibitions or restrictions on the importation of goods, including in the form of quotas, import or export licenses, and other measures. As for Serbia, a technical barrier was identified regarding access of the EAEU medicines due to the requirement to provide an EU GMP certificate for registration. The list of Uzbekistan's restrictive measures has been supplemented by a non-transparent and lengthy procedure for obtaining an Uzbek certificate of conformity for the importation of household appliances. The EEC's activities to monitor and eliminate restrictive measures in trade with third parties are carried out in accordance with the provisions of the Treaty on the EAEU, to implement which the Decision of the Commission's Council in 2018 approved the Procedure for Interaction between the Eurasian Economic Union Member States and the Eurasian Economic Commission. The monitoring is aimed at systematic work to identify and find ways to eliminate restrictive measures imposed by third parties on the EAEU and its Member States.
