Kazakhstan disclosed the details of the implemented control of the transit of goods

From April 1, Kazakhstan will require the issuance of shipping invoices for goods. The FT wrote that this was necessary to avoid circumvention of anti-Russian sanctions.

Starting next month, Kazakhstan will require the issuance of accompanying waybills for goods (CNT) when trading with the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), Kadyr Ismagulov, DIRECTOR of the administration department of the state revenue committee of the country's finance ministry, told RIA Novosti.

“From April 1, 2023, mandatory issuance of accompanying invoices for goods in mutual trade with the EAEU countries is being introduced to reduce shadow turnover and eliminate tax losses (VAT),” he said.

According to Ismagulov, SNT will be issued electronically. Such documents will help prevent the appearance in the process of transit of "dummy persons, fictitious recipients and senders of goods, bankrupts, liquidated persons, etc."

Ismagulov specified that since the end of 2020, the project has been implemented in a pilot format on a voluntary basis.

On March 23, The Financial Times reported on Kazakhstan's plans to introduce an in- and out-of-country tracking system to track the entire chain of movement of goods in order to prevent circumvention of Western sanctions against RUSSIA.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted that a number of countries told Moscow about the pressure exerted on them by Western states led by the United States on this issue. Russia , Peskov pointed out, is working with partners on "risk minimization."

The US and the EU have repeatedly stated that they will try to prevent other countries from helping Russia bypass the restrictions. According to The Telegraph, the European Union has recorded an increase in exports to Central Asian countries, from where goods can then go to Russia, and therefore is considering imposing sanctions on them and any other states if restrictions are circumvented.

The statistics speaks about the growth of exports from the EU countries to the states neighboring Russia. According to data from the Eurostat database, cited by an analyst from Euromonitor International Vaidotas Zemlis-Balevichius, in March-November last year, exports to Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan increased by 48% (€ 20.3 billion). At the same time, exports from the EU to Russia in the same period fell by 47% (to €36.3 billion). At the same time, most of these countries increased their exports to Russia last year.
