From January 1st, 2021, a ban will be introduced on the clearance under the customs regime "release for free circulation" of goods included in the foreign countries' rapid alert systems for dangerous goods.

By January 1st, 2021, the Agency using the "regulatory guillotine" method will ensure the cancellation of 5,236 standards approved before 1995, with the adoption of international, regional and foreign standards in an identical form without changing the requirements for products in the original language.
