\u00a0Updated:<\/em><\/span><\/span> 22 January 2026<\/em><\/span><\/p>

Current changes in regulations and rules affecting international trade. In this section, we review key legal issues and provide expert commentary on how they apply in practice.<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>

\u00a0<\/h1>

EAEU: Updates to Customs Rules and Technical Regulation<\/h2>

Customs and Tariff Measures<\/h4>

(Direct impact on import payments)<\/p>

The Eurasian Economic Commission has reduced import duties to zero for waste and scrap of precious metals under certain EAEU HS codes until 31 December 2028 inclusive<\/b><\/span>. The decision enters into force 30 calendar days after its official publication<\/b><\/span>. The EEC noted that the previous import duty rates for these positions were 15% of the customs value<\/b><\/span>.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>

Practice<\/p>

If you work with these product categories, recalculate the economics of your contracts and check the accuracy of HS code classification in advance.<\/p>

Technical Regulations and Standards<\/h2>
Indirect impact: market access for goods<\/h5>

The EEC continues to update lists of standards and testing methods linked to EAEU technical regulations. The evidence base for conformity assessment must remain up to date.<\/p>

Practice<\/h5>

This is not \u201ccustoms\u201d in the narrow sense, but at the border it often turns into a very practical problem: no valid document = no release<\/b><\/span>. Check that your test reports and certificates refer to the current applicable standards.<\/p>

Where to Track Official Updates<\/h5>

News, decisions, and updates on regulatory measures are published on the EEC website. Legally significant texts should also be checked through the official EAEU legal portal.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/h2>

T\u00fcrkiye: Changes in International Transport and Foreign Trade<\/h2>

Foreign Trade \/ Import<\/h5>

(Basic rules of the import regime)<\/p>

The \u0130thalat Rejimi Karar\u0131<\/b><\/span> \u2014 Import Regime Decision No. 3350 \u2014 was published in an updated version on 6 January 2026<\/b><\/span>.<\/p>

Practice<\/h5>

This document sets the general framework for import procedures and applicable charges. It is useful to check it when rates, exemptions, or licensing requirements change, and in disputed cases involving import permits or supporting documents.<\/p>

Customs Clarifications<\/h5>
Circulars<\/h5>

The Turkish Ministry of Trade maintains a Genelge<\/b><\/span> section where customs circulars are published. These circulars may include changes or clarifications to annexes, lists, procedures, and implementation details.<\/p>

Practice<\/h5>

Circulars can change real border practice faster than large laws. Naturally, because apparently logistics needed one more way to surprise people.<\/p>

International Road Transport<\/h2>

Changes to the Karayolu Ta\u015f\u0131ma Y\u00f6netmeli\u011fi<\/h5>

T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure has reported amendments to the Karayolu Ta\u015f\u0131ma Y\u00f6netmeli\u011fi<\/b><\/span>, including changes published in the Resm\u00ee Gazete<\/b><\/span>.<\/p>

An updated version or amendment package was also published on 1 October 2025<\/b><\/span>, and it is often used in the sector as a consolidated text.<\/p>

Practice<\/p>

Check the carrier\u2019s licenses, authorizations, operational requirements, and applicable sanctions. In international transport, a \u201csmall formality\u201d can easily turn into a fine, a delay, or a blocked shipment.<\/p>

T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s CBAM \/ SKDM Agenda<\/h2>
Carbon-related requirements as part of foreign trade<\/h5>

The Turkish Ministry of Trade publishes clarifications on SKDM<\/b><\/span>, T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism agenda, including amendments and reporting-related timelines for 2026.<\/p>

Practice<\/h3>

Even if you are not the importer into the EU, your European counterparties may start requesting emissions data, origin data, and supporting documents from your supply chain.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/h2>

European Union: Import, Export, Sanctions, Certification, and Environmental Requirements<\/h2>

Sanctions and Restrictions<\/h5>

Export, import, services, and transport<\/b><\/p>

The European Commission maintains an official section on restrictive measures \/ sanctions<\/b><\/span> and regularly updates explanations and FAQ materials.<\/p>

Practice<\/h3>

Sanctions compliance is not a checkbox. It is a real risk area involving blocked payments, refusal of insurance or freight services, and customs problems. A tiny document mismatch can become a very expensive \u201clearning opportunity\u201d, as humans call disasters with invoices.<\/p>

CBAM and 2026<\/h2>

The EU\u2019s Access2Markets<\/b><\/span> platform provides official guidance on CBAM and its application. The European Commission also publishes Q&A and overview materials on the development and strengthening of CBAM.<\/p>

Practice<\/h5>

If your goods fall under CBAM sectors, such as steel, aluminium, cement, fertilisers, electricity, hydrogen, and related categories, the European importer will request data on embedded emissions and supporting documents from the supply chain.<\/p>

EUDR: Deforestation Regulation<\/h2>

Application dates postponed<\/h5>

The European Commission\u2019s official EUDR page confirms the application dates:<\/p>
