Express Shipments and E-Commerce in the EAEU<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Eurasian Economic Union is considering initiatives aimed at accelerating customs clearance for express shipments and e-commerce goods, as well as simplifying their export procedures. Kazakhstan has proposed using coded information on prohibitions and restrictions in customs declarations, while broader use of simplified declarations is planned for the export of goods ordered through online marketplaces.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What Kazakhstan Has Proposed to Accelerate Customs Clearance<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The initiatives aimed at improving customs clearance procedures were discussed at a meeting of the working group under the Advisory Committee on Customs Regulation of the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission. Representatives of government authorities, national postal operators, and express carriers from EAEU member states took part in the discussion, focusing on possible ways to streamline customs procedures for express shipments and e-commerce goods. As part of the proposed automation of customs control, Kazakhstan suggested introducing coded information on applicable prohibitions and restrictions into declarations for express shipments and e-commerce goods. At present, the relevant supporting documents are reviewed manually during customs procedures. The proposed use of coded information would make it possible to automate this stage of verification and reduce the need for manual document processing. According to the Eurasian Economic Commission, implementing this approach could help accelerate customs operations involving express shipments and e-commerce goods. Automating the verification of information on prohibitions and restrictions could also contribute to faster processing of shipments and, as a result, reduce the time required for their delivery to final recipients.<\/p>\n

How E-Commerce Exports Are Planned to Be Simplified<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Another initiative concerns the export of goods ordered by foreign customers through online marketplaces and e-commerce platforms in EAEU member states. Broader use of simplified declarations is planned for such shipments. The simplified procedure is expected to make it easier for local sellers to enter foreign markets. To implement this initiative, the Eurasian Economic Commission plans to prepare amendments to the procedure for completing declarations for e-commerce goods.<\/p>\n

What the Proposed Changes Mean for Businesses<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The initiatives under consideration are aimed at simplifying customs procedures in the e-commerce sector. Automating the verification of information on prohibitions and restrictions could reduce the time required for customs operations involving express shipments and accelerate the delivery of goods to recipients. For companies selling goods to foreign customers through online marketplaces, the planned simplification of export declarations is particularly relevant. Broader use of simplified declarations could facilitate the export clearance process and make it easier for local sellers to enter foreign markets. At the same time, these are initiatives currently under consideration and proposed changes rather than measures already implemented. Companies working with express shipments and e-commerce should therefore follow further developments and potential changes to declaration procedures.<\/p>\n
