Until March 1, 2027, the absence of an electronic consignment note in the GIS EPD for road cargo transportation will be limited to an oral remark. The actual sanctions will start only from March next year. The transition period is intended to give the market time to build processes. But starting from September 1, 2026, digital processing of order requests and orders to the forwarder is already mandatory.

The Avtogruzex Association has sent official letters to the Minister of Transport Andrey Nikitin and the head of the Federal Tax Service Daniil Egorov. Carriers warn that from September 1, 2026, when digital processing of an order and instructions to the forwarder becomes mandatory, the market will face an avalanche of cancellations due to the technical impossibility of correcting electronic documents en route.

A bill has been submitted to the State Duma that proposes transmitting information for customs control on road transport through a personal account in the GIS EPD. The initiative is aimed at preliminary analysis of data on the car, driver and cargo before entering the checkpoint in order to speed up procedures and reduce queues at the border.
