Foreign marketplaces will be obligated to register in Kazakhstan

20 January 2025

The Ministry of Trade and Integration management has initiated an initiative to revise the working conditions for foreign online shops.

In particular, the head of the ministry, Arman Shakkaliev, proposes to introduce an electronic platform for the registration of foreign marketplaces. In addition, mandatory conditions are planned to be introduced for them in terms of compliance with requirements for the safety of goods, anti-counterfeiting, consumer protection, storage and protection of personal data, and tax and customs transparency.

The reason for adopting such measures was the increasing complaints of citizens about foreign online trading platforms, sellers of which are outside the jurisdiction of Kazakhstan.
