Customs fines are mitigated: businesses will be given a chance to improve without punishment
Starting from January 1, 2026, a new mandatory entry will appear in the customs declaration: the declarant must indicate the number, date and deadline for submitting the original certificate of origin. This will make it possible to unify controls and increase the transparency of procedures.

Starting from January 1, 2026, a new mandatory requirement will be introduced in the procedure for declaring goods: the customs declaration will need to include information on the provision of the original certificate of origin. The amendments were approved by the Decision of the Board of the EEC dated November 17, 2025 No. 104, which adjusted the Procedure for filling out the declaration of goods.

The changes relate to filling in column 44 "Additional information / Submitted documents". Now, if the declarant has the opportunity to present the original certificate of origin after registration of the declaration, he is obliged to enter a special sign "3", and then specify the number and date of the certificate. Additionally, it is required to enter an obligation to provide the original within a specific time period. The format of the record is strictly regulated and must contain a clear indication of the date before which the document will be submitted.

For example:
"06018/3 85353632 DATED 12/28/2025, I UNDERTAKE TO SUBMIT THE ORIGINAL BY 06/23/2026."

The initiative is aimed at increasing the transparency and predictability of procedures related to the confirmation of the origin of goods. According to experts, such changes minimize the risks of delays at the control stage, since the customs authorities receive information in advance about the availability of the certificate and the timing of its provision.

The innovation will also make it possible to unify the approach to processing declarations throughout the EAEU. Previously, the requirements for entering such information differed depending on the practice of specific customs authorities. Now the procedure becomes uniform, which makes it easier for the participants of foreign economic activity.

On November 27, 2025, an updated version of Article 18 of Federal Law No. 289-FZ comes into force, clarifying the procedure for providing public services in electronic form. This means that all information submission operations will be fully digitized, including the recording of obligations under certificates of origin.

Experts predict that the integration of the requirement in column 44 will reduce the number of refusals to issue and improve the quality of customs documentation control. The introduction of the new rules will also be a step towards stricter regulation of the origin of goods, as timely verification of the authenticity of certificates plays a key role in the application of tariff incentives and the exclusion of unfair deliveries.
