EAC declaration of conformity: normative & issuance process

EAC Declaration 2026: Strategic Access to Russia and the EAEU

The EAC Declaration of Conformity is a mandatory document for any business looking to export to the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). While it is part of the broader EAC Certifications system, the Declaration is specifically designed for products with a lower risk profile.

In 2026, Russia remains the primary destination for industrial and consumer goods. However, the unified nature of this document allows your products to enter Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Armenia—markets currently experiencing significant economic growth—under the same compliance umbrella. If your product carries a higher risk, you may instead require an EAC Certificate of Conformity.

Market Insights: Beyond the Russian Border

Russia: The Core Industrial Market

Russia continues to be the largest market in the region. For 2026, compliance via the EAC Declaration is essential for textiles, food, and standard industrial components. Every declaration must be registered in the Official FSA Registry to ensure smooth customs clearance at the Russian border.

Kazakhstan & Kyrgyzstan: The New Export Frontiers

Kazakhstan is the leading logistics hub for Central Asia, while Kyrgyzstan is the fastest-growing EAEU economy in 2026 (9.3% GDP growth). An EAC Declaration allows you to bypass secondary national checks in these countries, providing a “fast track” to millions of new customers.
Utility: See market data on the QazTrade Portal.

Armenia: Your Tech Gateway

Armenia serves as a vital bridge for high-tech and electronic exports. By obtaining an EAC compliant document, your goods can be distributed across the entire Union from Yerevan with significant duty advantages.

FAQ: Common Questions from Our Clients

Does my CE certification work for the Russian market?

No. European CE marking is not recognized. You must obtain an EAC Declaration based on Technical Regulations (TR CU). For machinery, this often involves TR CU 010/2011. Check our complete list of certifications for more details.

Can a foreign manufacturer apply for the declaration alone?

No. The applicant must be a legal entity registered within the EAEU. If you don’t have a local branch, we provide the necessary representation to act as your applicant, ensuring you own the rights to the document.

Is it mandatory to translate labels and manuals into Russian?

Yes. All technical documents, safety manuals, and labels must be in Russian. In 2026, the absence of the EAC Logo or Russian instructions is the number one cause of goods being blocked at customs.

Declaration vs. Certificate: What is the difference?

The main difference lies in the level of risk and the verification process. An EAC Certificate requires a production audit and stricter lab tests, while a Declaration is typically used for less complex goods.
