Measures to prevent, identify and stop suspicious financial transactions by foreign trade participants Approval has been granted to the standard draft agreement between the Federal Customs Service of Russia and a customs service (duly authorised body) of a state that is not a member of the Eurasian Economic Union on preventing, identifying and stopping suspicious financial transactions by foreign trade participants. Suspicious financial transactions are transactions by foreign trade participants involving financial means that may be used to divert funds outside the country, finance unreported imports and thus evade taxation, legalise (launder) criminal proceeds, and finance terrorism, or to pursue other unlawful goals. This resolution seeks to improve interaction between the Federal Customs Service of Russia and the customs services of foreign countries in fighting violations of the currency law of the Russian Federation.
