The EAEU has established a single form of oil passport

On November 1, 2023, the validity period of oil passports issued by entrepreneurs in any form for export to the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union ends.

Recall that on August 29 this year, the Members of the Council of the Eurasian Economic Commission approved amendments to the EAEU Technical Regulations «On the Safety of Oil Prepared for Transportation and (or) Use» (EAEU TR 045/2017).

These amendments establish a single form of the oil passport, which confirms the compliance of the actual values of oil indicators obtained during the testing of oil samples (samples) with the requirements of the EAEU TR 045/2017.

If earlier the forms of oil passports for compliance with the EAEU TR 045/2017 were developed by economic entities individually in their area of responsibility when conducting oil acceptance/delivery operations, now a single form approved for the «five» will be applied.

This will ensure a unified approach to the interpretation of the requirements of the technical regulations and the safety of the products being handled.

The decision of the EEC Council has been in effect since September 30 this year and obliges producers and importers of oil released into circulation in the customs territory of the EAEU to issue passports in a single form. All passports issued before

this date, from November 1, 2017, will not be valid.
