On June 9, 2026, the State Revenue Department for Almaty held a working meeting with major companies engaged in the sale of footwear products in Kazakhstan.

The purpose of the meeting was to explain to businesses the rules of product labeling and traceability aimed at ensuring market transparency.

Three Key Changes in Administration

New Supervisory Authority:
Since February 2026, the functions of administering and controlling the footwear labeling system have been officially assigned to the State Revenue Committee of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan (SRC MF RK).

Single Operator:
On a competitive basis, JSC Kazakhtelecom has been designated as the single operator of the national product labeling and traceability system.

International Integration:
Kazakhstan’s national labeling system has been fully integrated with the corresponding systems of EAEU member states. In particular, integration with the Russian Federation has been operational since November 2022, and with the Republic of Belarus since September 2023, ensuring product traceability within the common economic area.

What Taxpayers Need to Know

Code Structure:
The labeling code must contain information about the product type, its unique identification number, and cryptographic security elements that verify the authenticity of the product.

Operating Procedure:
The meeting covered the current methods of applying identification means to footwear products and the procedures for registering market participants in the relevant information systems.

Recording Transactions:
Participants were informed about the procedure for obtaining labeling codes and how businesses must record all transactions involving labeled goods in the information systems.
