Full EDI from 2026: closing documents will be “collapsed” in the UPD — otherwise reconciliation and accounting will begin to break

2,828 30.01

If the company does maintain a full EDI, 2026 makes the UPD the center of closing documents: separate electronic invoices/acts in the previous formats go away, and the "separate" scheme quickly creates reconciliation gaps and slows down the closing of periods. This is especially painful on marketplaces: there are a lot of operations and adjustments, and any mistake in the primary instantly turns into suspended amounts and chaos in accounting. The solution is the process owner, a single registry,

Iran has simplified the import of foodstuffs: registration with the Ministry of Agriculture was postponed “after customs”

2,674 29.01

Iran is changing the rules for importing basic foodstuffs and feed: the mandatory pre-registration of an order with the agricultural department was canceled, allowing the cargo to be imported and declared first, and the documents to be processed after. At the same time, businesses are given a 100-day deferral of payments in rials and expand the use of barter for the import of essential goods. The measure is linked to the reform of subsidies and the redistribution of currency priorities in order

CHINA accelerates exports: from January 27, 2026, multimodal containers are processed once at the point of dispatch

2,334 29.01

Since January 27, 2026, China has launched a simplified customs control pilot for container multimodal transportation, where goods go by rail or river within the country and are exported by sea. The point is to move key procedures to the starting point and continue to run the container end—to-end through a single window, reducing stops and time uncertainty. For exporters from domestic regions, this can be a direct saving of time and money.

The Federal Tax Service is changing its approach to foreign forwarders: when the importer is facing 10% tax on the entire amount

2,045 29.01

The Federal Tax Service and the Ministry of Finance have tightened their view on payments to foreign freight forwarders: if the payment for international shipping cannot be separated from the remuneration of the intermediary and other services, the importer runs the risk of withholding tax as income from international transportation. For businesses, this means one thing: it is not enough to call the contract a "freight forwarding" — you need to prove the structure of the amount with documents an

A new tool has appeared — promo codes from sellers that give customers additional discounts directly from the store. The feature is already available to a test group of partners in Russia: the seller sets the expiration date and percentage of the discount, selects the products or assortment for the promotion, and the buyer applies the code in the shopping cart.

The Ministry of Finance is preparing VAT on imports through marketplaces: they want to close the "commerce under the guise of parcels" scheme

1,799 27.01

The Ministry of Finance is considering the introduction of VAT on imports of non-food products through marketplaces through a cross-border e-commerce channel. The initiative is aimed at schemes where commercial parties actually enter "under the guise" of purchases by individuals and do not carry a comparable tax burden. We look at how this can change prices and competition, where the border between B2C and commerce will be, and why customs qualifications and transparent logistics will be key for
