EAEU Implements Unique Transport ID for Cargo Tracking
The EAEU has established a unique identification system using navigation seals for cargo transportation to streamline the process.

On March 29, 2FIRSTS learned from the official website of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) that the Eurasian Economic Commission has established a unique numbering structure for goods transportation using navigation seals.


The transport number will assist parties involved in exchanging information by automatically identifying a specific unique identifier for each transport item, without the need for manual intervention. Additionally, it ensures that there are no duplicate rules for composing numbers.


This draft decision is based on the "Agreement on the Use of Seals for Tracking Transport in the Eurasian Economic Union" and is the first of 28 decisions to be implemented under the agreement.


According to a report from TASS, the agreement was signed in Moscow in April 2022. Its aim is to expand the use of modern technology in the transportation of goods, including streamlining customs processes and other types of national control measures, and tracking goods transported through the territory of the Eurasian Economic Union.


As part of a transport monitoring system that spans across two or more Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) countries, this agreement lays the groundwork for regulating the use of navigation seals. It applies to goods that pass through customs procedures via road or rail transportation, including those subject to special economic measures in one or more member states, such as alcoholic and tobacco products. The information on these goods will be tracked through telecommunication operators in each EAEU member state.


The approval of this agreement will improve the efficiency of navigation blockades, track every stage of transportation, eliminate additional control measures by authorities of member states of the Eurasian Economic Union, and eliminate other administrative barriers to business.
