      Certain changes will be introduced regarding internet purchases made by individuals on foreign marketplaces and delivered to them via international postal shipments or carriers.     What will change:      Such goods will no longer be classified as «goods for personal use», they will be placed into a separate category – «e-commerce goods».      All these goods will be subject to mandatory customs declaration by submitting a new type of declaration – «declaration for e-commerce goods».      However, individuals will not need to complete and submit such a declaration themselves. The entire customs declaration process will be carried out on their behalf by «e-commerce operators». That is, as before, an individual simply will either take the parcel at a pick-up point or has it delivered to him/her.     The changes will mainly affect those buyers whose goods exceed the duty-free import thresholds. Currently they pay customs duties and taxes at a flat rate of 15% for the amount exceeding the value limit of 200 euros (approximately 120 000 tenge at present), or no less than 2 euros per 1 kg if the parcel exceeds the weight threshold of 31 kg.     When the amendments to the customs legislation enter into force, the customs duty rate will change – 5% of the total value of the goods if the purchased goods exceed the duty-free value threshold, subject to a minimum of 1 euro per 1 kg. This means that the higher duty will be charged – either based on the value or weight of the goods. In addition, VAT at the rate of 16% will be payable.     Please note that the value threshold will remain the same – 200 euro and the weight threshold will be abolished. Therefore, if the value of a parcel does not exceed 200 euro - individuals will continue not paying any duties and fees.     All of the above customs operations will be handled by «e-commerce operators» – professional participants in this service market who are responsible for the delivery, storage, customs declaration and release of goods.     A new chapter will be introduced into the customs legislation in relation to e-commerce operators, establishing the conditions for inclusion in the register of such operators, their rights, obligations and liability, as well as the procedure for suspending their activities and removal from the register.     The above amendments to the EAEU Customs Code, signed by the Head of State, can be found in the «Adilet» information retrieval system at http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/U2300000412. These amendments, as well as changes, and additions to the national legislation and relevant regulatory acts of the Eurasian Economic Commission will take effect following ratification of the Protocol on Amendments to the Treaty on the EAEU Customs Code. Currently, the Protocol has been ratified by all EAEU member-states except the Russian Federation.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd/press/news/details/1164263?lang=kk

Article 1 of the new draft Constitution is a fundamental norm that defines the essence and direction of the state. This article clearly states that the Republic of Kazakhstan is a democratic, secular, legal and social state. These principles represent the basic principles of the country's development. A democratic state is a system that recognizes the supremacy of popular power. A secular state is a structure in which the functions of religion and the state are separated, and freedom of conscience is ensured. A constitutional state is an environment in which the rule of law is established and the requirements common to all are fairly observed. A welfare state is a state that pursues policies aimed at improving the well-being of citizens and ensuring social equality. The most important point of the article is the recognition that the highest value of the state is the person and his life, rights and freedoms. This principle means that all state decisions, laws and reforms must be made in the interests of the person. That is, the state serves the person, and the rights and life of the person are above any political or economic interests. Thus, Article 1 not only defines the constitutional basis of the country, but also sets the direction of the entire legal system. Recognition of the person as the highest value is the main condition for the formation of a just, stable and civilized society.

The new draft Constitution defines human honor and dignity as the highest value. Article 20, paragraph 1, clearly states that human honor and dignity are inviolable and shall be protected by law. This norm is aimed at protecting the personal honor and personal integrity of every citizen at the state level. Human dignity is not just a moral concept, it is a value that has a legal guarantee. That is, no person, no body has the right to insult a person's honor and degrade his dignity. The law does not allow violations of this right and provides specific mechanisms for its protection. Furthermore, no one may be subjected to torture, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. This principle implies that the state upholds respect for the individual, justice, and the rule of law. These norms serve to strengthen mutual respect in society and ensure the safety of citizens. Protection of human dignity is the main sign of a civilized, legal state and the basis for the formation of a just society.

This provision in the new draft Constitution establishes human rights and freedoms as the highest value of the state. The main idea here is clear: the state should serve people first and foremost. Rights and freedoms are inherent to everyone and cannot be taken away from them by anyone. This means that rights are not a gift from power, but a value inherent in the natural nature of man. Therefore, all laws and state decisions must be made in accordance with this principle. Citizenship carries with it certain rights and responsibilities. The legal relationship between a citizen and the state is based on mutual responsibility. At the same time, the rights of foreign citizens and stateless persons are also protected in cases provided for by law. This is a manifestation of legal equality and justice. One of the important principles is that the exercise of each person's rights should not harm the rights of others. Freedom goes hand in hand with responsibility. Maintaining public order, moral values, and constitutional foundations is a common duty for all. If a state body or official commits an illegal act and causes harm to a citizen, the state shall compensate for the harm. This norm clarifies the responsibility of the authorities and increases the level of legal protection of citizens. In general, these provisions are aimed at strengthening the principle of the rule of law and establishing the relationship between man and the state on the basis of justice and legality.

The sustainable development of society and the future of the nation depend primarily on the strength of the family institution. Therefore, the new constitutional amendments pay special attention to the issues of marriage, family, motherhood, fatherhood, and children, and define specific legal mechanisms for their state protection. Article 30, paragraph 1 of the Constitution clearly states that “Marriage and family, mother, father and child shall be under the protection of the state.” This norm establishes the protection of family values as a priority direction of state policy. According to the Constitution, marriage is a voluntary and equal union of a man and a woman, registered in accordance with the law. Such a legal definition allows us to preserve the traditional family model in society and protect the rights of family members. State protection is implemented through specific mechanisms. In particular: – social benefits and payments; – mother and child support programs; – guarantees in the field of education and healthcare. Thus, the state views improving family well-being not only as a social task, but also as an important part of national security and demographic policy. In addition, the Constitution clarifies not only the right but also the duty of parents to care for and educate their children. This principle is aimed at creating conditions for the all-round development of the child, ensuring his safety, and protecting his rights. The establishment of the obligation of adult able-bodied children to care for their disabled parents is a manifestation of the legal strengthening of mutual responsibility and respect within the family. In conclusion, the norms related to the family in the new Constitution are clear evidence of a systematic policy aimed at ensuring social stability, preserving national values, and building a strong society.

The coalition of public observers "DAUYS" announces its intention to participate in the national referendum on the adoption of the new Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan as independent observers. The Constitution is a fundamental document that defines how government will be structured, what guarantees individuals will receive, and the principles by which our country will develop. Decisions of this magnitude must be made in a fully transparent and fair voting process. We are entering this referendum with a clear goal: to ensure public oversight at every stage of the voting process. Our work will be systematic and nationwide. Our observers will be present from the moment polling stations open until the results are tallied. They will be attentive, professional, and consistent. Trust doesn't come from statements; it's built through actions, adherence to rules, accuracy, and openness. This is why independent monitoring is especially important, making the process open, understandable, and predictable. "DAUYS" are the people who take on the responsibility of witnessing this historic decision. It's important that every Kazakhstani feels confident that their vote is counted. This is what we're working for. Coalition of public observers "DAUYS".
