Specific Rules for Auto Parts
Auto parts create a complex customs profile due to the wide variety of subtypes: engine parts, electronics, tires, lighting, brake systems, airbags, fuel components. Each type has its own HS code and import duties. AOG shipments (Aircraft on Ground for planes, similarly for cars: one halted production line or vehicle) require expedited declaration outside business hours — we provide 24/7 coverage for this.
HS Code Examples:
Chapter 87 — motor vehicles and parts. 8708.30 brakes and parts, 8708.40 gearboxes, 8708.50 drive shafts, 8708.99 other parts. Engines: 8407 combustion, 8501 electric motors. Tires: 4011. Airbags: 8708.95. Auto electronics are partially under chapter 85.
Specific Rules for Kazakhstan
No free trade agreement between the EU and Kazakhstan (only a PCA — Partnership and Cooperation Agreement, which does not provide tariff benefits). Standard MFN tariffs apply. Kazakhstan is a member of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) along with Russia, Belarus, Armenia, and Kyrgyzstan — imports via Kazakhstan can thus be rerouted to other EAEU countries. Sanctions against Russia may have indirect effects.
Typical Documents:
Commercial invoice in English and Russian recommended, packing list, Air Waybill, Certificate of Origin via Chamber of Commerce, possibly a Russian version of the customs declaration for EAEU transit.
Import Duties and Charges for Auto Parts Kazakhstan
General auto parts: 2.7-4.5% import duties. Passenger car tires: 4.5%. Under Japan EPA, South Korea FTA, UK TCA: 0% if the certificate of origin is correct. Anti-dumping duties on aluminum rims from China and certain rubber components. VAT: 21%.
Under which regime: Kazakhstan falls under “Derde land zonder akkoord.” Origin document for preferential tariff: factuurverklaring. We calculate exactly what you owe in advance and prepare the correct origin document.
ACR for export departures and ACE for direct import takeover — crucial for AOG. For automotive clients with regular flows, our DPO license works very well: monthly settlement instead of per shipment. CWP for strategic stock under suspension.
