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 does not have direct cargo flights to Kazakhstan โ€” shipments are usually routed through Frankfurt (Lufthansa Cargo), Istanbul (Turkish Cargo), or Riga to Almaty (ALA) or Astana/Nur-Sultan (NQZ). Typical transit time is 1โ€“3 days.

Customs & Regulations

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

Practical Tips

  • EAC certification can take weeks to months โ€” plan 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
