Have you ever wondered why there are fewer fakes on store shelves? One of the leading roles is played by the customs authorities of the RK, who combat counterfeit goods around the clock.How does it work in practice? Customs Registries Right holders enter their trademarks into special registers:The National Registry of the RK, maintained by the authorized body.The Unified Registry of the EAEU, valid throughout the Union. Protection is provided for up to 2 years with the possibility of extension. Suspension of Goods Release If customs detects signs of rights infringement (e.g., a famous brand logo on a suspicious product):For registry goods: the release is suspended for 10 working days. At the request of the right holder, the term may be extended for another 10 days if they have applied to court.For goods NOT in the registry (ex officio): customs may suspend release for up to 3 working days if there is information about the right holder in the RK. Interaction of Parties Customs notifies both the importer and the right holder about the delay within 1 working day, providing their contact details to each other for resolution. Destruction of Counterfeits If a court recognizes the goods as infringing IP rights, such goods are subject to destruction.🛑 Important Exception: Protection measures do not apply to goods transported by individuals for personal use (including international mail).Business should remember: the right holder is liable for damages caused to the importer if the infringement is ultimately not proven in court.Knowing these rules helps honest businesses avoid delays and brand owners protect their reputation! 📈Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-zhetysu/press/news/details/1256148?lang=ru

At a meeting of the EEC Council held online, the Kazakh side, led by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Economy Serik Zhumangarin, proposed extending the validity period of navigation seals produced in third countries and used to track the shipment of goods.This decision is necessary because, in accordance with the current EEC Council decision, operators in EAEU member states must use exclusively navigation seals produced within the Union, effective September 7, 2026.In Kazakhstan, the national cargo tracking operator is the Institute of Space Engineering and Technology of the Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development. In addition to its own devices, the operator uses approximately 10,000 leased navigation seals produced in third countries for a two-year lease. Early replacement of these seals will entail additional costs. However, the current production capacity of EAEU countries is not yet sufficient to fully meet Kazakhstan's demand for navigation seals.At the same time, enterprises have already been identified in Kazakhstan that will establish local production. Launching production will take time.Following the discussion, the EEC Council supported the Kazakh proposal and extended the effective date of the Eurasian Commission's decision until January 1, 2028.Furthermore, the EEC Council approved amendments to the Regulation on the uniform procedure for conducting joint inspections of facilities and sampling products subject to veterinary control. According to the amendments, authorized bodies are authorized to initiate the removal from the register of third-country enterprises that have not supplied regulated products to the territory of EAEU member states for more than five years.Amendments to the EAEU technical regulation "On the safety of perfumery and cosmetic products" were also approved. These amendments provide for a one-year extension of the mandatory requirement for double toxicological testing of products. This decision was made given the limited number of accredited laboratories capable of conducting such testing.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1256385?lang=ru
