An international expert-analytical platform on logistics, e-commerce, customs, and foreign economic activity.

In 2024-2025, courts are increasingly supporting tax authorities in counter-inspections: mass requests for documents over a long period of time are acceptable, and inspections can send requests outside the counterparty's place of registration. For businesses, this means an increased burden on the archive, EDI, and internal regulations for primary storage.

The foreign economic activity community is discussing a letter from the Ministry of Finance on the immediate termination of the experiment, where customs accepted the declared value according to the transaction method, and control was transferred to the stage after the release of goods. If the decision is officially confirmed, importers will have to rebuild the issuance, preparation of documents and financial reserves for the return of stricter control "at the border."

From October 1, 2026, the rules of the platform economy will begin to apply in Russia: marketplaces and aggregators will have to align access to services and carefully change offers. The market is already discussing that the usual "individual conditions" in their current form will be redesigned, and instead of some discounts, new financial mechanics like retro bonuses will appear.

Calculations in rubles for imports from Asian countries reached a maximum of 54% in February. At the same time, the share of the ruble in export payments in the Asian direction also increased. The trend is increasing demand for ruble liquidity and changing approaches to hedging, contracts and payment routes for foreign economic activity.

In 2026, the main risk when buying cryptocurrencies is not the exchange itself, but the consequences in fiat: card blocking, compliance requests, and questions about the source of funds. Against the background of the Travel Rule and the strengthening of AML, control is shifting to the payment chain and documents. The winners are those who prepare a transparent purchase scenario in advance and store transaction confirmations.

In China, an HH-200 cargo drone was lifted into the air, designed to operate in the cold and heat. The device should cover delivery to hard-to-reach areas: mountains, islands, coastal and border destinations. The focus of the project is not record-breaking show flights, but a practical network of "small aircraft" for cargo.

Russia plans to complete the formation of an autonomous digital infrastructure by 2028. We are talking about creating a stable communication system, data centers and traffic management capable of operating independently of global network nodes. The volume of investments in digital sovereignty projects may exceed 1 trillion rubles.

Rosgranstroy presented a program for the digital transformation of checkpoints: automation, intelligent control and expanded preliminary information about cargo should reduce border crossing by trucks to 10 minutes by 2030. They plan to introduce an "intelligent pass" in priority areas, while maintaining the standard mode for those who are not ready for advanced data.

Russia and Azerbaijan have agreed on steps to implement the e-CMR electronic international consignment note. The action plan should simplify the regime of international road transport and support digitalization at the border. At the same time, the parties discussed the development of checkpoints and the North—South corridor

Russia has proposed to the EAEU countries and friendly states to launch joint projects on unmanned cargo transportation on key international corridors. The initiative immediately turns the technological conversation into a practical one — from pilots to regulation and joint infrastructure.
