II. Regarding Anti - dumping

According to the regulations of the Eurasian Economic Union,

for steel structures (HS code 7308)

the tariffs are usually between [missing content], and the specific tax rate depends on the type, use, processing status of the goods, and the specific classification of the materials. In addition, the following costs and requirements are also involved:[missing content]: The standard value - added tax rate in Kazakhstan is [missing content], which is usually applicable to all imported goods.[missing content]: Steel structure products may need to meet the certification requirements of the Eurasian Economic Union, especially standards related to building safety and material specifications. These certifications may include strength tests of building materials, fire - resistance performance tests, and seismic performance evaluations. In addition, some steel structures also need to meet environmental protection requirements, such as the recyclability of materials and their impact on the environment. These certifications are usually evaluated and verified by third - party agencies recognized by the union to ensure that products meet all safety and quality standards of the union, thus guaranteeing the overall safety and durability of construction projects. Obtaining these certifications is not only a necessary condition to meet regulatory requirements but also an important factor in establishing corporate reputation and competitiveness in the market.5%to10%Tariffs on Electromechanical Products

• Value - Added Tax (VAT): The standard VAT rate in Kazakhstan is12%, which is generally applicable to all imported goods.
• Certification Requirements: Steel structure products may need to meet the certification requirements of the Eurasian Economic Union, especially the standards related to building safety, material specifications, etc. These certifications may include strength tests of building materials, fire resistance tests, and seismic performance evaluations. In addition, some steel structures also need to meet environmental protection requirements, such as the recyclability of materials and their impact on the environment. These certifications are usually evaluated and verified by third - party institutions recognized by the Union to ensure that products meet all the safety and quality standards of the Union, thus guaranteeing the overall safety and durability of construction projects. Obtaining these certifications is not only a necessary condition to meet regulatory requirements but also an important factor in establishing corporate reputation and competitiveness in the market.

Tariffs on mechanical and electrical products

The import tariffs on electromechanical products are usually between5%to15%It depends on the type of electromechanical products and their corresponding HS codes. For different types of electromechanical products, their functions and uses may affect the applicable tariff rates. For example, some high - tech equipment or products with environmental protection functions may enjoy lower tariffs, while some traditional electromechanical equipment may be subject to higher rates. In addition, tariffs are also affected by the product manufacturing process, materials used, and end - use. For some electromechanical products for specific purposes, there may be additional tax reduction policies. Exporters should pay close attention to changes in relevant tax regulations in a timely manner so as to accurately assess costs and make the best decisions when exporting.

• Chapter 84 (Boilers, mechanical equipment, engines, etc.): Tariffs are usually between0%to10%Chapter 85 (Electrical equipment, communication equipment, electric motors, generators, etc.)
• The Eurasian Economic Union has implemented anti - dumping measures on certain stainless - steel products, especially those imported from countries such as China, India, and South Korea. By taking these anti - dumping measures, the union aims to protect its domestic steel industry from the unfair competition of low - priced imported products. These measures are mainly to address the large number of cheap steel products from certain countries, which may disrupt the market order through price dumping and harm the interests of local producers. The unions anti - dumping measures are usually based on the investigation results of imported products to determine whether these products are sold at a price lower than the normal value, thus causing damage to the relevant industries within the union. These measures mainly involve the following types of stainless - steel products:: Tariffs are usually between5%to15%Chapter 85 (Electrical equipment, communication equipment, electric motors, generators, etc.)

Cold - rolled stainless - steel sheets (HS code 7219)

According to the latest anti - dumping investigation of the Eurasian Economic Union, cold - rolled stainless - steel sheets from China may be affected by anti - dumping duties. The specific tax rates and implementation time are usually announced according to the conclusion of the anti - dumping investigation and the unions announcement.

Hot - rolled stainless - steel products (HS code 7220)

Similarly, hot - rolled stainless - steel products may also be restricted by anti - dumping measures. For example, currently Kazakhstan levies anti - dumping duties on specific stainless - steel products from China (especially seamless stainless - steel pipes). These tax rates have been implemented for many years and have been extended recently.

The latest anti - dumping duty policy shows that starting from 2024, the anti - dumping duties on cold - worked seamless stainless - steel pipes produced in China and Malaysia have been increased from the previous

to19.15%It is expected that this measure will last until 2029. In addition, the Eurasian Economic Union is investigating other sizes of Chinese stainless - steel products (such as products with a diameter of up to 650 mm), which may affect a wider range of stainless - steel products and their semi - finished products. The specific results will be determined according to the investigation conclusion.29.39%When conducting the export business of electromechanical products and steel structures in Kazakhstan, special attention should be paid to the application of tariffs and anti - dumping duties. The tariffs on semi - finished steel structures are usually between 5% and 10%, and those on electromechanical products are between 5% and 15%. In addition, anti - dumping measures have a greater impact on some stainless - steel products. It is necessary to understand the relevant policies in advance to prepare for cost control and compliance. Through the detailed guidelines in this article, you can not only better understand the relevant policies but also develop effective export strategies, reduce costs, and enhance competitiveness.
