Customs Union

Clarification on local holder requirements

Customs Union Flag

06-JAN-20

On October 25th 2019, the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council published Decision Number 10 which has now been signed by all 5 member states of the Eurasian Customs Union (EAEU).

This Decision provides clarification as to who can be considered a local holder for approval purposes within the Customs Union, which was previously open to interpretation by CBs.

The document states that a local holder must be a company registered within the Eurasian Customs Union “that carries out activities on behalf of the manufacturer during release of products for circulation at the territory of EAEU and bears responsibility for non-compliance of products with the requirements of the EAEU Technical Regulations”. To be in compliance with this Decision there, the local holder should therefore be a local importer.
