EEC coordinates digitalisation of procedures for certifying the origin of exported goods At its meeting on November 10, the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission approved methodological recommendations to help Eurasian Economic Union countries synchronise the transition to electronic procedures for obtaining certificates of origin, from an applicant’s initial request to an authorised organisation through to verification of the issued document. EEC Minister in charge of Trade Andrey Slepnev said: “The methodological recommendations establish unified approaches to the creation of electronic databases of issued certificates by organisations responsible for certifying the origin of goods in EAEU countries, and to the subsequent transition to fully electronic issuance. These organisations are the Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Armenia, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan and Russia, and Kazakhstan’s Atameken National Chamber of Entrepreneurs. Unifying national procedures is an important step towards deeper Eurasian integration and fulfilling international obligations under preferential agreements with third countries.» The accepted document will provide a basis for developing new digital solutions and refining existing ones in the Member States to speed up the preparation of documentation for the export of goods beyond the EAEU customs territory and make the process more convenient for applicants for preferential and non-preferential certificates of origin. The adoption of the methodological recommendations is provided for in the road map for implementing the Declaration on Further Development of Economic Processes within the Eurasian Economic Union until 2030 and for the Period until 2045, “The Eurasian Economic Path”, approved by EEC Council Disposition No. 39 dated December 21, 2025, and aims to implement the agreements set out in the Agreement on a Harmonised System for the Determination of the Origin of Goods Exported from the EAEU Customs Territory, signed on December 4, 2023. #EAEU
