The Ministry of Trade and Integration of Kazakhstan has rejected the initiative of its Vice Minister Kairat Torebayev to ban the export of 106 types of high-tech goods to Russia that could be used in a war. A statement was published on the ministry's website.

"Regarding the information disseminated in the media about the ban on the sale of 106 types of goods to Russia, the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan officially declares that it is incorrect. Trade relations between Kazakhstan and Russia are regulated in full compliance with the provisions of the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union. There were no bans on the export of any goods to the Russian Federation in connection with anti-Russian sanctions," the statement said.

It is noted that export control of dual-use goods has been carried out for more than 20 years in accordance with international export control regimes.


"Trade in so-called "dual-use" goods subject to export control is carried out in accordance with the international obligations of the Republic of Kazakhstan," the statement said. 


This means that such goods require an appropriate license for export, import and transit. 


Earlier, we reported that Kazakhstan has imposed restrictions on the export of high-tech goods to Russia that can be used in military operations. The ban includes 106 types of goods. This was reported by KazTAG.
