The Eurasian Economic Commission’s Council adopted some decisions required for starting the Agreement on the mechanism of traceability of goods imported into the EAEU customs territory enacted in February 2021. The first decision determines the procedure and deadlines of the pilot project for implementing the traceability mechanism. The traceability mechanisms will be tested from July 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023 in relation to household refrigerators and freezers imported into the Union’s territory. The second decision approves the procedure for including and storing information on traceable goods in national traceability systems.

It bears reminding that the Agreement is aimed at creating the Union’s traceability system for foreign goods the key objective of which will be to confirm the legality of their turnover when moved from the territory of one Member State to the territory of another Union country as well as creating conditions that exclude various schemes for evading customs and tax payments and ensuring state control over transactions related to the turnover of such goods.

The EEC Board and the Council had to elaborate a number of decisions to start the Agreement. The Commission, jointly with the Member States’ experts, has already prepared and agreed upon almost all regulatory framework required.
