EEC eases declaration rules for international road haulage vehicles
MOSCOW, 17 July (BelTA) - The Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) relaxed the requirements concerning the declaration of the vehicles used in international road haulage.

Carriers will be able to declare the vehicles used in international road haulage with the help of the vehicle registration certificate. At the customs border the carrier will only need to show this registration certificate. The procedures concerning the registration of such vehicles will be relaxed. Customs declaration of the vehicles registered in the Customs Union member states and used in international road haulage which move in and out will be carried out without customs officials making any marks in the certificate.
