Already last year, internal consultations among Kazakh authorities discussed limiting the validity of EAC certificates issued in Kyrgyzstan for placing products on the market. Now, the signs are intensifying: the import of Kyrgyz-certified goods is expected to become significantly more difficult — a step that could have far-reaching consequences for manufacturers and exporters to the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU).
Changes in the Technical Regulation TR CU 005/2011 On Safety of Packaging have come into force.
Packaging remains subject to EAC declaration. What is new is a clearer distinction between the types of packaging that are subject to declaration under schemes 3d, 4d, or 6d.
The obligation to declare used packaging has been abolished.
Electronic signatures for document exchange between the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) will receive unified verification. This is reported by 'Vedomosti'..
The duty-free import rate of foreign currency and personal items will be reduced in all EAEU member countries in January 2020. Changes will also concern international mail.
The lists of standards are formed in order to ensure compliance with the requirements of the EAEU TR 044/2017 “On the safety of drinking water, including natural mineral water”.
