Starting from September 1, 2026, the circulation of several major categories of goods in Kazakhstan will be subject to new requirements. The State Revenue Department for Almaty informs foreign economic activity (FEA) participants and domestic manufacturers that, in accordance with Order No. 199-NQ of the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan, mandatory labeling using identification means is being introduced for dietary supplements (DS) as well as beer and bottled beer-based beverages. The new requirements apply to products manufactured in Kazakhstan or imported into the country on or after September 1, 2026.

This large-scale project is aimed at combating the illegal circulation of goods, protecting bona fide businesses from unfair competition, and ensuring that consumers receive verified and safe products.

The digital identification code makes it possible to trace the entire journey of each product unit - from the manufacturer or the border to the final consumer.

The following products must be marked with special identification codes:

• All dietary supplements (DS) that hold a valid state registration certificate in the Republic of Kazakhstan or the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). This includes specialized food products and concentrates, as well as vitamin and mineral mixtures, syrups, and herbal extracts registered as dietary supplements.
• Beer and beer-based beverages bottled in bottles.

The State Revenue Department for Almaty calls on the city's business community - from importers to retail chains - to prepare for these changes in advance. Timely adjustment of technical processes will help ensure a smooth transition period, avoid delays in customs operations, and maintain uninterrupted commercial activities.
