Exporting to Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan is the largest economy in Central Asia and a growing market for Dutch machinery, mining equipment, agri-technology, and pharmaceuticals. Schiphol has no direct cargo flights to Kazakhstan — shipments usually transit through Frankfurt (Lufthansa Cargo), Istanbul (Turkish Cargo), or Riga en route to Almaty (ALA) or Astana/Nur-Sultan (NQZ). Regular transit times range from 1 to 3 days.

Customs & Regulations

Kazakhstan is a member of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and applies the common EAEU tariff rates. Most shipments require ECCN classification and an EAC conformity declaration. Food products, machinery, and electrical equipment require a TR CU (Technical Regulations of the Customs Union) certificate. Customs in Almaty is known for thorough inspections.

Practical Tips

  • EAC certification can take weeks to months — plan this well in advance of shipment
  • Documentation must be submitted in Russian or Kazakh for local customs clearance
  • Additional export licenses from the Netherlands apply for dual-use and mining-related goods
