BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan, May 21. The Eurasian
Economic Union (EAEU) will officially launch a permanent
traceability system for imported goods circulating within the bloc
starting September 1, 2026, Trend reports via the Eurasian Economic Commission
(EEC).
The final regulatory framework was approved during the
Commission's Council meeting on May 20.
The new mechanism is designed to track cross-border cargo
movements where goods are initially cleared through customs in one
member state and subsequently transported to another. This
permanent rollout follows a pilot monitoring phase implemented
across EAEU member states from 2022 to 2025.
The updated regulations establish unified standards for logging
import data into national registries and define data retention
periods. Furthermore, new protocols facilitate direct, real-time
data exchanges between the tax authorities of the member states,
enabling officials to review a product's entire transaction history
before it crosses internal EAEU borders. The framework also
specifies exemption criteria for unregistered transit and outlines
contingency plans to maintain tracing operations during technical
or connectivity failures.
At the launch stage, the mandatory tracking mandate will apply
strictly to three categories of consumer electronics and home
appliances: refrigerators (including freezers), washing machines,
and television sets. The list of monitored goods is projected to
expand to other industries in subsequent phases.
