Article 10, Paragraph 4.3  
Kazakhstan herby notifies the following information pursuant to Article 10.4. 3 of the Agreement on 
Trade Facilitation regarding the operation of the Single Window.  
The Single Window was launched in March 2019 in a phased manner with separate modules for 
issuance of permits, approvals, certificates, rendering customs services, etc. In accordance with the 
legislative documents, the implementation of the «Single Window» in the Republic of Kazakhstan is 
entrusted to the State Revenue Committee of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan.  
Through the Single Window portal users can access information on the required licen ces and permits, 
rates of customs payments and taxes, legal acts in the field of export -import operations, and various 
registers of  documents and reference books related to the implementation of foreign economic 
activity. They can also access the following services  
• Requesting and issuance of permits for the import of unregistered pesticides issued by the 
Ministry of Agriculture;  
• Requesting and issuance of certificates of state registration of products issued by the Ministry 
of Health;  
• Requesting preliminary decisions on the classification of goods, country of origin and 
unassembled/disassembled goods issued by the customs service;  
• Requesting preliminary decisions on the application of methods for determining the customs 
value of imported goods issued by the customs service;  
• Checking the fact of customs clearance by VIN -code;  
• Requesting and issuance of certificates and declarations of conformity.  
Additional services will become available after successful completion of the testing. These include 
issuance of 2 permits for the movement of wild animals/plants pursuant to the CITES Convention 
and 3 conformity assessment docum ents for vehicles (Certificate of safety of the vehicle structure, 
Vehicle type approval, Approved chassis type). Furthermore, 10 state services in the field of customs 
are currently being completed, including i) inclusion in the registers of temporary sto rage 
warehouses, ii) customs warehouses, iii) free warehouses, iv) bonded customs warehouses for 
storing their own goods, v) duty -free shops, vi) customs representatives, vii) customs carriers, viii) 
authorized economic operators, ix) intellectual property  objects, and x) registration of security for 
payment of customs duties and taxes.  
With a view to eliminate the need for multiple submission of supporting documents and information, 
15 integrations with third -party systems have been implemented to date. As  part of the integrations 
with third -party systems, users also can switch from the Single Window portal to other platforms to 
obtain types of licen ces and permits, that are not part of the Single Window.  To access the Single 
Window portal and services, use rs have to meet the following requirements  
a. must use a web browser.  
b. must register in the system using an electronic digital signature. This applies to both legal 
entities and individuals.  
When automating services implemented on the Single Window portal, t he expediency of their 
provision on paper is excluded. In this regard, the use of «Single Window» services is mandatory.  
For unregistered users, reference information on the portal's services is available on the portal's 
main page, there is also a training  section that contains instructions on working with the portal, 
including registration in it.  G/TFA/N/KAZ/1 /Rev.1
