A: The process follows EAEU customs union regulations: 1) Document preparation and HS code classification. 2) Chinese export customs declaration. 3) Transit through Kazakhstan border customs. 4) EAEU import customs declaration. 5) Customs duty and VAT (20% in Kazakhstan) payment. 6) Certification verification if required. 7) Cargo release.

For regulated goods, additional permits or conformity certificates may be needed. We provide a complete document checklist for your specific shipment.

Q: What are the packaging requirements for China-Kazakhstan freight?

A: Goods must be packed for overland transit: use strong cartons with adequate cushioning, wooden crates for heavy or fragile items (must be ISPM-15 fumigated), waterproof wrapping for the continental climate extremes, clear labeling in Russian and/or Kazakh, proper palletizing for LTL shipments, and weight marking on each package. Our Guangzhou warehouse offers professional packing and palletizing services.
