The Federal Customs Service of Russia has initiated a large-scale project to digitalize the processes of handling international mail and express cargo. For these purposes, a special working group has been created, which includes both representatives of the regulator, as well as key players in the e-commerce market and government corporations.

The installation meeting, which was led by Vladimir Ivin, Deputy head of the Federal Customs Service, was attended by specialists from the service's structural divisions, representatives of the Rosatom state Corporation, as well as leading Russian marketplaces Ozon, Wildberries and Russian Post. Such a composition of participants indicates the desire to take into account the interests of all parties and create the most effective and balanced system.

As Vladimir Ivin noted, the current work lays the foundations for customs administration for years to come. The main goal is to develop such technological processes that will be comfortable for businesses and effective for the state in the context of growing digitalization. Special attention is planned to be paid to the issues of import substitution of software and technological solutions.

To optimize the work, the group's activities were divided into three thematic sections, each of which is assigned a curator-leader.:

  • Automation and design of business processes is Rosatom's area of responsibility. The participants of this section will develop and implement IT solutions for automating routine operations.

  • Regulatory support — the supervisor will be Ozon. The Group will work to create clear and transparent legal mechanisms governing e-commerce.

  • Compliance with prohibitions and restrictions — Wildberries will lead this important topic. The task is to create effective tools to prevent the import of prohibited products while ensuring the speed of processing legal goods.

The coordinator of all work is the Federal Customs Service of Russia. It is planned that the general meetings of the group will be held monthly, while the sections will meet weekly to promptly resolve emerging issues.

Business representatives supported the initiative of the Federal Customs Service, especially noting its timeliness. The autumn-winter period is traditionally the peak season for e-commerce, and the creation of smoother and more predictable customs procedures will help all market participants avoid logistical collapses and delays in the delivery of orders to consumers.

This project is part of the implementation of the Customs Service's Development Strategy until 2030 and is aimed at creating a modern, flexible and technologically advanced customs administration mechanism that meets the challenges of the time and the volume of the growing cross-border e-commerce market.

After the New Year holidays, sales on Wildberries sank for the majority, but each card has its own depth of decline: price, balances, seasonality and how buyers passed the funnel during a period of low demand decide. The mistake of many is to try to “buy off” positions with bids. In fact, WB evaluates the card by stages: impression, click, shopping cart, order — and compares it with competitors within the query cluster. We're looking at how to diagnose the drop point and restore sales without dr

Starting from July 1, 2026, trucks from the EAEU countries risk stopping at the border without a valid QR code: the pilot SPOT starts on April 1, and then the system will link access to a preliminary document from the Federal Tax Service and, in the second half of the year, to reserving the amount for VAT and excise taxes. Lawyers advise changing contracts now: a valid QR code should be a condition for departure for loading, otherwise a simple one due to customer errors will fall on the carrier.

Assignment and debt transfer are not a "gray life hack", but a tool for managed adjustment of calculations. But in 2026, the main risk is not the legal structure itself, but how the bank sees it. Therefore, the task of the Foreign economic activity director today sounds simple.: first, the compliance architecture and documents, then the signatures.

The trucking market may enter a phase where tariffs will not be "stacked", but assigned according to a formula by the largest ecosystems. According to the Institute for Transport Development, the point of no return will come when retailers and marketplaces begin to control about a third of transportation: warehouses, data, LTL networks and their own fleets will give them leverage over rates for the entire market.
