🚆🛰️ New regulation for Eurasian rail shipments

Selected cargo transported via rail corridors through EAEU countries may newly require the so-called Navigation Seal (NS) 🔒📍 — an electronic GPS seal that allows authorities to track cargo movement in real time during transit.

The regulation mainly affects:
🍷 Alcohol products
🚬 To***co products
👕 Fashion & apparel
👟 Footwear
📱 Smartphones & telecom devices
📺 Consumer electronics, cameras & multimedia equipment

The seal may be applied individually during border/transit inspections, so additional operational costs can arise in specific cases.

If you regularly ship these commodities via Eurasian rail services 🚂🌍 and are unsure whether your cargo may be affected, feel free to contact us 🤝
