EAEU to launch goods traceability system on September 1

The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) is set to implement a new system for tracing goods imported into its customs territory, effective September 1. This initiative, announced by the State Tax Service of Kyrgyzstan, is part of the union's international obligations and aims to enhance control over the movement of specific product categories.

The system will apply to a defined list of goods approved by the Eurasian Economic Commission. This list includes common household appliances such as refrigerators, freezers, washing machines, and various television and video equipment. For these tracked items, the mandatory use of electronic transport waybills will be discontinued.

Officials emphasize that this traceability system is a full operational launch, not a pilot program. The electronic invoice (ЭСФ 2.0) will be utilized solely for monitoring goods movement within the system and will not directly impact taxpayers' obligations. A grace period of one month will be provided to businesses selling the specified goods, allowing them time to register their current inventory within the traceability framework.

The comprehensive list of traceable goods, as established by the Eurasian Economic Commission, is available on the official website of the State Tax Service under the "Services" section. This measure is expected to streamline customs processes and improve oversight of trade within the EAEU.
