"Atameken" encourages domestic producers and exporters to observe sanitary requirements of EAEU

In connection with the detection of cases of the violations of the order of import and export of Kazakh quarantine products by exporters, the competent authorities of the Member States of the Eurasian Economic Union, Economic Integration Department of NCE RK "Atameken" draw the attention of domestic manufacturers and exporters to the need to meet the phytosanitary requirements of the EAEU.

Creation of the Union assumes simplification of customs and other procedures between Member States. However, in accordance with Appendix #12 to the EAEU Treaty "Protocol on the application of sanitary, veterinary and sanitary and phytosanitary quarantine measures", in the framework of the Union the export and import of regulated products between member countries is carried out only in the presence of a phytosanitary certificate of the exporting party. However, the Kazakhstani Law "On Plant Quarantine" prescribes the presence of a phytosanitary certificate only in the event of export of regulated products from the country.

The procedure for issuing a phytosanitary certificate has the status of a public service, therefore, it is carried out according to the approved standard. The service is provided by territorial inspections of the Committee of the state inspection in the agricultural sector of the Ministry of Agriculture of the city, regional and district level (the addresses of the places, where the public service is rendered, is available on the Internet resource of the Ministry of Agriculture - www.minagri.gov.kz (section "Support & Services" subsection "Services in the field of Plant Cultivation").
