The free trade agreement
The agreement between Serbia and the Eurasian Economic Union was signed on 25 October 2019 and entered into force on 10 July 2021. It replaced Serbia’s earlier bilateral agreements with Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan and extended free trade to Armenia and Kyrgyzstan for the first time.
Duty-free treatment covers about 93% of the tariff nomenclature. Some goods are subject to exemptions and quotas, so check the HS code of your product before signing a contract. In May 2026 the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council approved negotiations on amendments to the agreement, and we follow the updates.
Certificate of origin
The preference applies only to goods of Serbian origin, which must be proven with a certificate of origin issued by the authorised body in Serbia at the request of the producer or exporter. Without it, the goods pay the standard duty.
EAEU technical regulations
The agreement removes duties but not product safety requirements. Many product groups need a declaration or certificate of conformity with EAEU technical regulations and the EAC mark. For example, furniture falls under TR CU 025/2012, cosmetics under TR CU 009/2011, food under TR CU 021/2011, packaging under TR CU 005/2011 and low-voltage electrical equipment under TR CU 004/2011.
The applicant for these documents must be a company registered in the EAEU — the importer or the manufacturer’s authorised representative. Plan for this in the timeline and budget of the first delivery.
Other markets in the region
Serbia trades with Moldova within CEFTA. For Ukraine, Georgia and Uzbekistan the regime depends on the product, and we check it for each deal.
