12 billion tenge was saved by consumers

In 2020, the decision of the EAEU member states was adopted, providing for exemption from payment of import duties on goods imported as part of the fight against the spread of coronavirus infection, in order to provide the population with means of protection, and producers with raw materials necessary for their manufacture.

In 2020-2021, a number of decisions of the Eurasian Economic Commission were adopted aimed at reducing import customs duties. The effect of the measures introduced in terms of ensuring duty-free import is estimated at 11.8 billion tenge for the end consumers of these goods.

These are personal protective equipment and raw materials for their production, vaccines, raw materials for the production of medicines, test systems and medical equipment.
