Simplification of procedures and acceleration of trade turnover: how customs administration works in Kazakhstan
The movement of goods across the border of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) requires mandatory customs administration.
The priority task of the customs authorities is to create favorable conditions for the rapid and unhindered movement of goods across the border.
Since 2018, Kazakhstan has been operating the ASTANA-1 electronic customs declaration system, which has greatly simplified this process. The declaration can be submitted electronically from anywhere in the country, at any time of the day, both independently and through customs representatives.
Customs controls are carried out selectively, using a risk management system (RMS) based on the international practice of "green," "yellow" and "red" corridors. The "green" corridor means automatic release of goods without physical control, which minimizes the processing time. The "yellow" corridor involves documentary control, which takes up to 4 hours. The "red" corridor provides for customs inspection.
So, according to the TP "Families of the TSC" for 10 months of 2025: out of 6091 declarations for goods (DT), 78.5% (4785) were issued along the "green" corridor, 20.1% (1229) - along the "yellow" and 1% (56) - along the "red."
Control can be carried out by various units of customs authorities, including the Main Dispatch Directorate of the State Revenue Committee, territorial departments and customs posts, depending on the triggered risk profiles. The information system automatically determines the scope and degree of control, which reduces the time of export-import operations.
The State Revenue Committee of the Republic of Kazakhstan on an ongoing basis pays special attention to improving the administration and provision of public services. In 2026, it is planned to fully commission the new Keden information system, developed by Kazakhstani IT companies and integrated with other government agencies.
