Kazakhstan is the largest car market in Central Asia and a major destination for Chinese vehicles. Rules follow the EAEU framework with left-hand drive only and a 10-year age cap for used cars.
| Age limit | Used vehicles up to 10 years old; minimum Euro 4 emission standard. (From 2025, pre-Euro 4 used cars are banned.) |
|---|---|
| Steering | Left-hand drive only (right-hand drive prohibited). |
| Import duty & taxes | EAEU common tariff. VAT 16% (2026). Used-car duty scales with age and engine size — about 20% + VAT for under 5 years, higher per-cc rates for older. Electric vehicles: duty-free under an annual EAEU quota (the 2025 quota was exhausted; 2026 standard rates apply). |
| Main ports / entry | Overland via Khorgos land port; Caspian port Aktau; rail to Almaty. (Khorgos runs 24/7 customs.) |
| Authority & certification | EAEU technical regulation TR CU 018/2011; OTTC / SBKTS certification; Ministry of Industry and Construction. From Oct 2025, individual imports are restricted to an approved list. |
| Required documents | Technical passport, original registration certificate, commercial invoice, bill of lading, customs declaration, detailed invoice with VIN/engine/year. |
Figures are indicative and change often — Kazakhstan revised used-car rules in 2025 (Euro 4 ban from July 2025; tighter individual-import list from Oct 2025) and raised VAT to 16% for 2026. Always confirm current rates with Kazakh customs or a licensed broker.

EZ Auto is based in China (Zhengzhou, Henan) with 15–20 years in the country's car export trade. Central Asia is a core corridor for vehicle exports from China, and we ship new and used cars built in China there through established overland and rail routes with complete export documentation. Local import clearance is arranged by the buyer or a licensed broker; we provide all paperwork and per-country guidance. We do not operate local offices in Central Asia — every car is sourced and inspected in China before shipment.
Real feedback from the importers we serve
I took a Zeekr 9X, a Geely Monjaro and a Deepal S05. Quality is up to standard, prices are fair, and the loading was done even faster than planned. All three cars arrived without a single hitch. Thanks to the EZ Auto team — we will be back. (Translated from Russian)
We received a Geely Galaxy M9 and a Changan CS55. Both cars are new, fully equipped, and everything matches what was agreed. The managers are always reachable and helped organise the delivery. We plan to expand our range together with EZ Auto. (Translated from Russian)
I ordered two vehicles from EZ Auto: a Jetour Dashing and a Jetour X70 Plus. The cars arrived as described and in very good condition. The team replies quickly and follows the file through to delivery. I will do business with them again. (Translated from French)
