Astana, January 12 (Xinhua) — The Council of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) approved new conditions and rules for the import of e-commerce goods purchased on foreign online platforms, which will come into effect on July 1, 2026. This was reported on Monday by the Kazinform news agency.
According to the approved regulations, a new duty-free import threshold has been set at €200. Goods valued up to this amount can be imported duty-free. If the purchase exceeds €200, a 5% customs duty and value-added tax will be charged on the full amount. The minimum duty will be €1 per kilogram.
The Eurasian Economic Commission also stated that special customs duty rates will apply to certain types of goods, including automobiles. At the same time, a list of goods not subject to the simplified declaration procedure for e-commerce was approved. This list includes items not recognized as personal use, such as tanning beds, internal combustion engines, medical furniture, and slot machines.
In addition, the simplified procedure will not apply to products subject to special import and export regulations, including weapons and ammunition, fossil animal bones, hazardous waste, as well as alcohol and tobacco products, cash, aircraft and watercraft, certain types of vehicles and their chassis.
As noted in the EEC report, the new rules are aimed at unifying the regulation of foreign electronic commerce in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). –0–
