Kyrgyzstan: EAEU raises import duties on clothing and cameras from 1 November 2026

From 1 November 2026, the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) has raised import customs duties on certain clothing, specialised cameras and equipment. For some clothing items the rate rose from 10% to 15%, and for special cameras from 0% to 5%. The higher rates apply until 30 September 2027 inclusive.

The changes are set out in EEC Council Decision No. 110 of 9 September and EEC Board Decision No. 131 of 21 September. Decision No. 110 covers 12 ten-digit codes of ready-made clothing, including some coats, suits, jackets, trousers, skirts and men's shirts. A combined rate applies: 15% of customs value, but not less than a set amount per kilogram.

The EEC said monitoring showed rising supplies of the affected products alongside a noticeable fall in import prices. EEC Trade Minister Andrey Slepnev said the measure aims to protect existing production, preserve jobs and support import substitution. For Kyrgyz importers, the changes apply to commercial imports from outside the EAEU, and the full ten-digit product code determines the rate.
