Vehicles imported from third countries that are not part of the EAEU must necessarily undergo the customs clearance procedure. This was announced by Acting Director of the Control Department of the State Revenue Committee of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan Yerzhan Abdrakhmanov during a joint press conference at the Central Communications Service under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The Head of State in his address to the People of Kazakhstan on September 1, 2022 announced a proposal regarding illegally imported vehicles.
To legalize such vehicles, it is proposed to apply a single disposal fee and primary registration in the amount not exceeding 200 thousand tenge on a one-time basis.
This measure should apply to vehicles that are not on the wanted list, imported before September 1, 2022 and have passed customs clearance.
Legalization began on January 23, 2023 and ended on July 1, 2023.
The State Revenue Committee was directly involved during the general legalization of vehicles.
During the legalization, the Committee placed employees of state revenue agencies in special zones.
Employees of the state revenue bodies checked information about customs clearance, including customs clearance in the EAEU countries.
Within the framework of the EAEU, mutual exchange of information on customs-cleared goods and vehicles is carried out, the information received by the Committee was placed in the Information Data Warehouse.
Employees of the state revenue bodies issued certificates confirming the passage of customs clearance by checking in the information systems of the SRC (IS "ASTANA-1", IS "Information Data Warehouse").
If there is information about customs clearance in the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, the Russian Federation, the Republic of Belarus and the Republic of Armenia, certificates of confirmation of customs clearance were issued.
