Importer of Record (IOR) and Exporter of Record (EOR) services in Kazakhstan for IT and Telecommunications Equipment, Laboratory and Research Systems, Data Centre Hardware, Semiconductor Equipment, Medical Devices, Aerospace Components, and Industrial High-Value Hardware, supported by Remote-Hands support for on-ground execution, customs-aligned delivery, and technical coordination across Kazakhstan.
Kazakhstan is the largest economy in Central Asia and a key logistics and industrial corridor connecting China, Russia, and Europe through established rail, air, and road trade routes. Its import environment is shaped by Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) customs frameworks, mandatory importer accountability, and strict technical documentation requirements for regulated and high-value equipment. For foreign manufacturers shipping technology and industrial systems into Kazakhstan, clearance feasibility depends heavily on a locally compliant Importer of Record.
With a population of approximately 20 million and strong industrial activity across oil and gas, mining, infrastructure, and telecommunications, Kazakhstan continues to import advanced equipment including network hardware, laboratory systems, regulated medical devices, and specialized industrial machinery. Digital modernization programs and data connectivity investments are also increasing demand for data centre hardware and high-performance computing infrastructure.
Inbound shipments are primarily processed through Almaty International Airport, Astana International Airport, and cross-border freight corridors supporting major trade flows. Kazakhstan Customs applies rigorous controls on HS classification, valuation accuracy in KZT, VAT settlement, conformity documentation, and importer registration.
Uproot Technologies enables compliant, controlled, and execution-ready movement of equipment into and out of Kazakhstan by assuming full IOR and EOR responsibility, supported by Remote-Hands support for physical handling, delivery coordination, and site-level execution.
All imports and exports in Kazakhstan are regulated by Kazakhstan Customs under EAEU-aligned customs structures, with mandatory importer registration and strict enforcement of valuation, classification, and fiscal compliance.
Key compliance requirements include:
• Mandatory customs declarations through accountable importer entities
• Correct HS code classification aligned with EAEU tariff schedules
• Accurate customs valuation in KZT supported by transaction documentation
• Import VAT assessment and settlement
• Country-of-origin disclosure
• Product conformity and technical documentation review
