As of August 7, 2026, the Customs Administration has issued a circular that simplifies procedures for economic operators dealing with health products. The new measure eliminates the need for import licenses for masks and export licenses for antiseptics, marking a return to standard trade formalities for these items, which have become common since the pandemic.
The circular, published on August 7, 2026, was confirmed by customs officials. It applies to both importers of masks and exporters of antiseptic products. Previously, these goods required special licenses due to health emergency measures. Now, they will be treated like any other commodity, subject to standard customs declarations.
This change is expected to reduce administrative burdens and delays for businesses. According to trade analysts, it reflects the stabilization of supply chains and the normalization of the health products market. The move aligns with broader efforts to streamline customs procedures in the region.
Customs authorities have not issued any official statement beyond the circular, but the document is available on the official customs website. The measure is effective immediately.
