On 13 October, the President of Belarus signed Decree No. 357 "On the creation of the state information resource ‘Unified Register of Freight Forwarders’", Telegram channels report. The document orders the register to be created by 1 April 2027.

According to the same reports, the Transport Inspectorate is to create the register. It will also be its owner and operator.

From 1 July 2027, freight forwarders must enter their details in the register in electronic form through the portal of electronic services of nationwide significance.

From 1 September 2027, entry in the register will become a mandatory condition for carrying out the activity. The main innovation is mandatory registration of forwarders in a state information resource managed by the Transport Inspectorate.

The decree affects freight forwarders. According to the same reports, it sets out requirements for them, as well as mechanisms for entering information about them in the register and for suspending their presence in it.

The draft decree provides for a check of forwarders' business and professional reputation as a criterion for admission to the register. It is not yet known what penalties are envisaged for violating the requirements after 1 September 2027.

Previously, Belarus had no single mandatory register of freight forwarders. This led to a lack of transparency and of unified oversight in the market for freight forwarding services.
