QAZAQSTAN / CUSTOMS ESTIMATE
Car import duty to Kazakhstan
Car details
The rate against the tenge is filled in automatically.
Above 3000 cc the excise is charged on the whole displacement, not on the excess.
Needed for the 7-year threshold on customs duty. It does not affect the registration fee — that goes by year of manufacture.
The two kinds of hybrid are treated differently: in a series hybrid (EREV) the engine is not connected to the wheels and runs purely as a generator — no duty and no recycling fee.
The price is converted into tenge at this rate.
Needed only for the minimum rate per cc on cars older than 7 years.

- By year of manufacture the car is two years old or more, so the first registration fee is charged at the higher step.
- The related costs line of 400 000 ₸ is a market estimate, not a tariff. The actual amount depends on the broker and on how long the car sits in the bonded warehouse.
- Shipping from Korea is not included.
