The Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan has compiled a List of goods prohibited and restricted for placement and sale on electronic trading platforms.

The List has been developed in accordance with the requirements of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Regulation of Trading Activities" based on information provided by interested state bodies within their competence. The List consolidates information on goods for which the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan establishes prohibitions or restrictions on circulation within the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan, including sale through electronic commerce.

The publication of the list is aimed at increasing the transparency of electronic commerce.

The List will enable owners of electronic trading platforms, online stores, sellers, and other participants in electronic commerce to promptly receive up-to-date information on existing restrictions and take into account legislative requirements when placing and selling goods.

Thus, the availability of the list will allow electronic trading platforms to apply uniform approaches when moderating product cards, and sellers to assess in advance the possibility of selling their products.

It is important to note that the List is of an informational and reference nature and systematizes the already existing requirements of the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan, ensuring their accessibility and ease of application. The Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan is the authorized state body exercising state regulation in the field of electronic commerce. In case of detection of violations, bringing to administrative responsibility is carried out by the state body to whose competence this is assigned by the Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan on Administrative Offenses.

The Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan will update the list on an ongoing basis as changes are made to the legislation and relevant information is received from interested state bodies.
