The Eurasian Economic Commission has adopted a decision that will have a direct impact on Kazakhstan’s commercial transport market. Starting this autumn, individuals will no longer be allowed to import trucks with a capacity of over 5 tons, buses with more than 12 seats, or special-purpose vehicles.
A three-month transition period will be granted for those whose vehicles are already in transit.
From now on, the import of such categories will only be possible through official dealers and companies. This measure is expected to bring greater order to the market, strengthen the role of distributors, and raise safety standards. At the same time, individuals will still be able to import passenger cars, light trucks, minibuses, and trailers up to 3.5 tons.
Experts note that in the short term, the cost of commercial vehicles may rise, but in the long run, these changes will create conditions for stable industry development and an increase in official supplies.
Komtrans + BUSexpo Astana will be one of the first platforms where market players will discuss the new rules and their impact on business in Kazakhstan and Central Asia.
