Starting from January 22, changes to the rules concerning the determination of the country of origin of certain goods used in public procurement will come into effect in the EAEU countries. These changes will be relevant for relationships that arise from January 1, 2026.
The adjustment adopted by the EEC Council on November 19, 2025, affects the rules concerning specific categories of pharmaceutical and medical devices used in public procurement.
As a result of these changes, 56 product names will be added to the Eurasian Register of Industrial Goods.
In particular:
- 31 names, including synthetic fibers, needles, prostheses, urostomy bags, ultrasound scanning devices, medicinal products, and pharmaceutical substances, will be included based on compliance with certain production conditions and technological processes.
- 25 names, including medical masks, bandages, syringes, surgical materials, hearing aids, and fire extinguishers, will be added based on the provision of a certificate of form ST-1.
The Eurasian Register of Industrial Goods is being created to ensure access to public procurement in EAEU countries, where there are preferences, restrictions, and prohibitions on goods from other member states and third countries.
