This is necessary to confirm the compliance of goods with the standards established by the technical regulations of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU).

According to the established requirements, for all types of bags, briefcases, knapsacks, purses and suitcases, a mandatory TR CU declaration is required. In addition, the entrepreneur has the right to conduct voluntary certification of his products, which will serve as an additional confirmation of its quality.
