Parties, documents and specifics for every deal scheme
Import of goods from Kyrgyzstan Export of goods to Kyrgyzstan Import of services from Kyrgyzstan Export of services to KyrgyzstanImport and export of goods and services — every way of working with Kyrgyz partners within the EAEU
You bring goods from Kyrgyzstan into Russia. EAEU: no customs declaration, but a statistical form is filed and VAT is paid to your own tax office.
You supply Russian-made products to a Kyrgyz buyer. The zero VAT rate is confirmed with documents.
You receive services or works from a Kyrgyz contractor: development, logistics, engineering, consulting.
You provide services to a Kyrgyz customer. Instead of a specification — an acceptance certificate; instead of a delivery basis — the place where services are provided.
Kyrgyzstan has been an EAEU member since 2015: trade is simplified, but reporting and currency control remain
Kyrgyzstan has been in the EAEU since 12 August 2015, so goods move between the countries without customs declaration or duties. Reporting still applies: a statistical form to the FCS and, above the thresholds, registration of the contract with the bank.
EAEU · FCS · 173-FZKyrgyzstan has been a party to the Vienna Convention since 1 June 2000, Russia since 1991. The CISG therefore applies to a sale-of-goods contract automatically unless the parties expressly exclude it (Art. 6); the builder’s contract does not exclude it. This sets Kyrgyzstan apart from Kazakhstan, which is not on the list of contracting states.
CISG · governing lawThe national currency is the som (KGS). In the builder’s contract the price and payment are stated in one currency. If settlements are in roubles, write it down expressly rather than leave it implied.
RUB · KGS · currencyWhen goods are imported from Kyrgyzstan, VAT is paid by the Russian buyer — not at customs, but to its own tax office, together with the import application and the indirect tax return. On export the zero rate applies and must be confirmed with documents. Deadlines run from the date the goods are recorded in the accounts, so the delivery date in the contract must be determinable.

The same bilingual contract — tailored to each country’s specifics
Kyrgyzstan has been a member of the Eurasian Economic Union since 12 August 2015, and trade with it follows the rules of the Union’s internal market: no customs declaration and no import duties. The document that formalises the deal does not disappear — it is the supply contract from Kyrgyzstan to Russia or the import contract from Kyrgyzstan.
Inside the EAEU there is no goods declaration; the state collects data on the movement of goods through the statistical form filed by the Russian party with the FCS. Currency control works separately: when the obligations reach 3 million roubles for import or 10 million for export, the contract is registered with the authorised bank.
VAT on imports from Kyrgyzstan is paid not at the border but to the buyer’s tax office — together with the import application and the indirect tax return. Exports to Kyrgyzstan are zero-rated, and the rate must be confirmed. Deadlines run from the date the goods are recorded in the accounts on import and from the shipment date on export (paras 5 and 19 of the Protocol).
Kyrgyzstan has been a party to the Vienna Convention (CISG) since 1 June 2000 and Russia since 1 September 1991, so the Convention applies to a sale-of-goods contract by default. The builder’s contract does not exclude it. The document comes in two columns, Russian and English: the Russian column is needed by the bank and the tax office, the English one stays in the file for the partner.
The name of the Kyrgyz company and its legal form in the contract must match the state register of legal entities letter for letter. Bank details are given in full, including the SWIFT code of the counterparty’s bank.
