"Single window" is the mechanism allowing the parties, participating in trade and transport 
operations, to submit standardized information and documents with use of the single throughput 
channel for implementation of all regulating requirements concerning import, export, transit. If 
information has an electronic format, separate elements of data have to be represented only once.

foreign economic activity (foreign trade activities) information demanded by supervisory authorities 
for implementation of import, export and transit operations.

Article 10, Paragraph 6.2  
 
Each member shall notify the committee and publish its measures on the use of customs brokers.  
 
The Chapter 61 of the Customs Code of the Eurasian Economic Union (came into force for the Kyrgyz 
Republic from 1 January 2018) regulates the activity of "Authorized Economic Operators" (AEO). The 
establishment of AEOs in the territories of the Eurasian Ec onomic Union does not require mandatory 
registration. The indicated provision of the EAEU's Custom Code also provides for AEOs to be 
qualified as low risk . For more detailed information on use of customs brokers (AEOs),  see 
https://docs.eaeunion.org/docs/ru -ru/0144505/cc_20112012 .
