A meeting of the Interdepartmental Commission on Foreign Trade Policy and Participation in International Economic Organizations was held under the chairmanship of Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan - Minister of National Economy Serik Zhumangarin.

At the meeting, it was decided to reset the export customs duty on gallium, which previously amounted to 10%. The measure is aimed at stimulating gallium production in Kazakhstan and developing export potential.

Despite the fact that gallium has not been produced in the country in recent years, global demand for this metal used in high-tech industries remains stable. Kazakhstan has the necessary resource potential to enter this market and can occupy a niche in the global supply chain. This, in turn, will create opportunities for the growth of export activity, increase foreign exchange earnings and expand the presence of Kazakhstani manufacturers in foreign markets.

In addition, the Interdepartmental Commission supported the introduction of a ban on the export of blanks and ingots of non-ferrous metals from the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan by all modes of transport until December 31, 2025.

The ban applies to raw copper, aluminum slabs and billets, and lead ingots.

This measure is aimed at providing the domestic market with strategic raw materials, preventing the export of low-value-added products and stimulating the processing of non-ferrous metals within the country.

Данная мера направлена на обеспечение внутреннего рынка стратегическим сырьем, предотвращение вывоза продукции с низкой добавленной стоимостью и стимулирование переработки цветных металлов внутри страны.
