EAEU: New Customs Code enters into force on 1 January 2018

On 28 April 2017 the Council of the EurAsian Economic Commission adopted the decision on synchronisation of ratification procedures for the EAEU Customs Code. This will allow the Customs Code to enter into force on 1 January 2018.

At the same time with the Code, a number of important decisions of the Commission are to also enter into force. These decisions regulate 25 different issues, including the activities of authorised economic operators, movement of goods by physical persons and so on.

The Council members have approved the plan of works for 2017 that will ensure the development of the “single window” project and of the necessary standards and regulations aimed at the implementation and development of the “single window” model throughout all EAEU Member States.

The EurAsian Economic Commission Council also amended Technical Regulation on the Safety of Products Intended for Children and Adolescents. The amendments clarified requirements for the safety and quality of fabric used for the manufacture of children’s clothing.
