,The Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) announced that the transition period for amendments to the Customs Union’s Technical Regulation on Oil and Fat Products will expire on 21 December 2025. From that date, producers must fully comply with the updated technical regulation requirements without relying on the old standards. The amendments—which were adopted by the EEC Council in December 2023 and came into force on 22 December 2024—clarify definitions, labelling rules, production and transportation processes for edible oils and fat products, removing previous ambiguities. An important new requirement for trans fatty acid content in non-lauric, non-tempering cocoa butter substitutes will take effect from 1 January 2026, with separate transition provisions extended until 31 December 2026 for conformity documents.
