ArmInfo.Armenia and China will exchange information on goods and vehicles of international transport moving across the customs borders of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and the People's Republic of China (PRC). At a meeting on February 24, the Commission of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia approved for ratification the draft of the relevant agreement, signed in St. Petersburg on June 6 last year.
According to David Ananyan, Chairman of the RA State Revenue Committee, at the first stage, it is planned to exchange information on 10 items of goods imported by the EAEU countries from the PRC (2 items for each country of the Union). With regard to Armenia, we are talking about shoes and tires. In the subsequent stage by stage it is envisaged to spread the exchange of information to all commodity names and vehicles without exception, in parallel with the development of an electronic database of the EAEU states. At the same time, the exchange will be made exclusively in relation to the transported goods and vehicles of legal entities, the submitted document does not apply to individuals. As David Ananyan noted, the agreement on information exchange between the customs services of the EAEU countries and China will accelerate the procedure for customs clearance of goods imported into the customs territories of the Union and China, as well as increase the transit attractiveness of the countries participating in the agreement.
