From April 1, the EAEU countries will switch to a unified risk management system to control customs value.
This was stated by the acting head of the Federal Customs Service of Russia (FCS) Ruslan Davydov at the 45th meeting of the Joint Board of Customs Services of the member States of the Eurasian Economic Union (OCTU), Rossiyskaya Gazeta reports.
The risk management system is a set of rules for the control of imported goods, which will have to be valid for all five member countries of the union - Russia, Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. The risk management system is expected to increase the transparency of import flows.
"The speed of decision-making by customs authorities and the uniformity of law enforcement practice in terms of customs value control are factors that directly affect the possibility of ensuring barrier-free movement of goods," Davydov stressed.
He also recalled that the introduction of artificial intelligence into the work of customs officers, which is already used to analyze images of inspection and inspection complexes, allows speeding up decision-making today. From year to year, the technology is steadily developing and improving. Thus, it has already been possible to achieve a reference fixation for 173 commodity items, which allows for the analysis of images in automatic mode.
