It was decided to create three international economic organizations. The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund still exist. The plans also included the foundation of the International Trade Organization (ITO) within the United Nations engaged in specialized certification of products of the international standard. Certification in Russia is at a decent level, our country is a member of the international certification systems ISO, IEC, EEC. The formation of the legislative framework for confirming the compliance of various products with the standards took place until the 2000s. The quality of products and management systems of enterprises were the objects of control. The development of modern trade and services has given impetus to the development of legislation and the legal framework for technical regulations, certification and standardization. The main types of certificates include the certificate of origin, certificate of conformity, certificate of customs clearance, certificate of compliance with social requirements, certificate of compliance with the environment, etc. In difficult realities of the modern world, legal forms of international standards continue to develop; more and more attention is paid to the development of electronic document management and automation of procedures for declaring and certifying goods. The Customs Union has formed a free economic space of common requirements and norms that meet international standards. Obtaining international certificates opens great opportunities for the importer or manufacturer significantly increasing the turnover and attracting a wide customers› base. International standards for declaration and certification of goods are of great importance for trade relations between states. They allow us to establish a unified order of interaction and ensure security in the trading market.
