Exporting to the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU)

The Eurasian Economic Union is the merger of five Eurasian countries into a single market with uniform customs regulations, thereby facilitating economic exchange. It was founded in 2014 by Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus, and in 2015 Armenia and Kyrgyzstan joined. Other countries have already announced their interest in joining. The Union is known under various names and abbreviations: "Eurasian Economic Union" (EAEU), "Eurasian Customs Union" (EACU), "Eurasian Union" (EaU).

If you wish to export your products to the Eurasian Economic Union, they must comply with the safety requirements and regulations which apply there. The aim is to ensure the safety and health of citizens, the security of assets, environmental protection as well as the protection of plants and animals. Only products which meet these requirements of the technical regulations (TR) may be imported into the member states.

The Certificate of Conformity ensures that your products arrive safely and without delays in the target country. This allows you to open up a new market in the Eurasian Economic Union, increase your sales and secure a competitive advantage.

The technical regulations (TR) of the Customs Union are mandatory minimum legal requirements for the safety of products and the fulfillment of the given normative technical requirements, technical rules and other regulations. With the establishment of the Customs Union, 35 regulations have been adopted which must be complied with in all member states.

Since standardized technical regulations have not yet come into force for all products entering the Eurasian Economic Union, the regulations pertaining to the respective country, such as the GOST R certification system, are applicable. If these are replaced by new technical regulations, the additional compliance with national requirements is voluntary.

Products which meet the applicable safety requirements are labelled with the Eurasian Conformity (EAC) mark of compliance. Only then may your products be placed on the market in the Eurasian Customs Union.
