Kazakhstan has an updated List of certain types of goods imported from the territory of the EAEU member states, for which the minimum price level (MTC) is applied, and the size of the MTC, valid from July 1, 2026 to September 30, 2026 (inclusive).

 MTC sizes are updated quarterly. The need for quarterly updates is due to the seasonality of prices for some goods and the volatility of import prices.

 The list of certain types of goods in respect of which the MTC is applied and the Rules for determining the MTC are approved by order of the acting Minister of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated October 31, 2025 No. 658.

 The list includes 89 items divided into 2 groups: manufactured in the Republic of Kazakhstan (81 commodity items) and not manufactured in the country (8 items).

The official approved list is regulated in detail by the codes of TN VED (Commodity Nomenclature of Foreign Economic Activity).

Categories of goods covered by the ICC:

• Food: Milk, cream, cheeses, cottage cheese, eggs, honey, potatoes, vegetables, apples, flour, sunflower oil, pasta and baby food
• Alcohol: ethyl alcohol, cognac and vodka.
• Non-food products: mineral wool, fertilizers and oils.

The purpose of the MTC implementation is:

If, when importing from the EAEU by a resident of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the declared value of the goods is lower than the established ICC, value added tax (VAT) will be charged based on the base minimum price level.
