The current situation affected supply of medical goods, most of which were imported from countries of the European Union. At the state level, it was decided to legalize parallel import. As regards medical articles practical implementation of this mechanism met large number of exceptions that resulted in delays and disruptions of supplies. Indisputably, main problem remains inability to provide necessary amount of medical goods by national industry. The national market of medical articles and its components always significantly depended on import and found oneself completely unprepared for rupture of trade relations with unfriendly countries. It resulted in legalization of parallel import for particular categories of medical goods that seems to be possible solution of current problem. The article examines in detail basic principles of exhaustion of exclusive right to intellectual property objects. The analysis is presented concerning classification groupings of medical articles for customs purposes under the Customs Code of the EAEU. Also is analyzed structure of lists of products that are subject to legalization of parallel import in retrospective view. The main problematic aspects in analyzed issue were identified and recommendations for their elimination were formulated.</p>medical articlescomponentsexhaustion of exclusive rightslegalizationparallel importclassification for customs purposeslist of goodsassignment of quotasмедицинские изделия и комплектующие к нимпринципы исчерпания исключительного правалегализация параллельного импортаклассификация в таможенных целяхперечень товаровквотирование1.Timchenko T.
