The Customs union — the agreement of two or more states (a form of the interstate agreement) on cancellation of the customs duties in trade between them, a form of collective protectionism from the third countries.
The contract on creation of the uniform customs territory and formation of the Customs union, and also the plan of action on its creation were adopted on October 6, 2007 in Dushanbe by heads of states of Belarus, Russia and Kazakhstan. For providing operating conditions and development of the union the supranational regulating permanent body - the Commission of the Customs union was created. The first stage of work of the Customs union of Belarus, Russia and Kazakhstan began on January 1, 2010. It is predicted that creation of the Customs union will allow Belarus, Kazakhstan and to Russia to come by 2015 to gross domestic product gain in 15%. The Customs union creates the market, total volumes of which stocks of oil make 90 billions barrels. The total amount of gross domestic product - 2 trillion dollars, cumulative commodity turnover - 900 billion dollars.
Finally Customs union is started since July 1, 2010 with coming into effect of its Customs code.
Factors of creation of the Customs Union:
relatives according to the contents and an orientation political and cultural tendencies;
community of geopolitical interests;
similarity of ethnocultural lines;
prospects of closer economic cooperation.
The purposes and tasks of the Customs union are specified in "The contract on creation of the uniform customs territory and formation of the Customs union" of October 6, 2007 which was signed in the city of Dushanbe.
The purpose of creation of the Customs union provides creation of the uniform customs territory within which the customs duties and restrictions of economic character, except for special protective, anti-dumping and countervailing measures aren't applied.
Tasks of creation of the Customs union are:
creation of the uniform customs territory in borders of the united countries;
introduction of the mode which isn't allowing tariff and non-tariff restrictions in mutual trade, except for the cases stipulated by special regulations;
full cancellation of customs control on internal borders of the participating countries;
Stages and terms of formation of the Customs union:

to provided maintaining statistics of foreign trade and statistics of mutual trade;

The Customs union - the uniform customs territory within which in mutual trade the common customs tariff works, the customs duties and restrictions of economic character, except special protective, anti-dumping and countervailing measures aren't applied. Unlike a free trade zone, in the Customs union the uniform customs and tariff and trade policy concerning the countries which aren't entering into the union is provided. In this regard the participating states of the Customs union need to unify the trade relations with the third countries. Now at Russia about 120 basic trade contracts with other countries, at Kazakhstan - 50, at Belarus - 40 are.
