Specific Rules for Machines & Parts
Machines and industrial parts may seem straightforward but often represent the most complex customs dossiers. Multifunctional machines may be classified as dual-use (CNC milling machines, high-voltage equipment, semiconductor testing gear). Used machines require extra paperwork (CE compliance, RoHS, user information). Parts often have their own HS codes separate from the main machine.
HS Code Examples:
Chapters 84/85 — mechanical and electrical machines. 8462 punching and stamping machines, 8458 lathes, 8479 machines with a specific function. 8456.30 EDM machining tools (dual-use!). Parts often fall under 84xx.90 codes. Pumps: 8413. We screen every machine in Annex I of Regulation 2021/821.
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.
