Since July 15, 2026, the Federal Customs Service has changed the subordination of the electronic declaration centers of the three customs offices. The Moscow Customs Post (CED) was transferred to the Central Electronic Customs Office and received the code of the customs authority 10131020. The Vladivostok CED has been reassigned to the Far Eastern Electronic Customs — foundation, Order No. 260 of the Federal Customs Service of Russia dated March 27, 2026. Novorossiysk CED has been transferred to the Southern Electronic Customs.
Nothing physically moved: the location of the posts remained the same. The administrative vertical and the details for which the declaration is submitted are changing. For the declarant, the difference is noticeable here — the customs authority's code is sewn into the DT templates and accounting system settings, and changing it requires manual intervention before the next batch is submitted.
The restructuring is embedded in a broader process. Earlier, the Federal Customs Service launched inter-post dispatch of declarations, and in the Far East it is already visible how it redistributes the load. In the second quarter of 2026, compared with the first, the share of import declarations in the Far Eastern CED increased to 66.87%, adding 2.4%. In the Vladivostok CED, on the contrary, the indicator dropped to 79.15%, having lost 17%.
The shift brought new product categories and about 7,500 companies that had previously declared in other centers to the Far Eastern CED. The organizational aspects of reassignment were discussed by customs officers at a meeting of the DVTU Advisory Council, where they separately discussed work under the new dispatch procedure and the growing share of automatic issuance of declarations.
The practical task for the participants of foreign economic activity today is to verify the codes in the templates and in the software. A declaration that left with the old details will end up in the wrong body, which means a delay in release and reissue. Companies operating through the Moscow, Vladivostok, or Novorossiysk routes should check before sending the nearest DT, and not after the first refusal.
