The system integration operates under Decision No. 19 of the Eurasian Economic Commission Council dated March 5, 2021, establishing procedures for national marking system interaction across the EAEU. The mechanism has functioned for light industry goods since 2024, and adding 15 new commodity categories facilitates cross-border compliance.
