📰 How to obtain a State Registration Certificate for imported products
Goods imported into Kazakhstan and the other EAEU countries require state registration (SGR) if they belong to product categories regulated by sanitary and hygienic standards.
Without the SGR, goods cannot be imported, sold or used on the territory of the Union.
In this article, we'll discuss how to properly obtain a State Registration Certificate (SGR) for imported products, what documents are required, and the registration process.
🌍 Why is the SGR mandatory for imported products?
A Certificate of State Registration confirms that the product:
is safe for human health;
meets EAEU sanitary standards;
is authorized for circulation throughout the Union.
Registration is required for:
food and beverages;
cosmetics and household chemicals;
children's goods;
Dietary supplements, hygiene and medical products;
products containing GMOs;
specialized products and additives.
⚙️ Stages of obtaining a State Registration Certificate for imported products
1. 🧾 Document preparation
To calculate the cost and begin the registration procedure, you must provide:
Product name + EAEU commodity code (TN VED) + Description.
📘 This data allows us to determine whether the product is subject to state registration and calculate the cost of registration.
After this, a package of documents is formed, including:
contract or invoice with the manufacturer;
description of the product and its composition;
technical conditions (TU) or specifications;
copy of the ISO, GMP certificate of conformity (if available);
photo of packaging and label (in Russian or English);
documents on state registration of the manufacturer in the country of origin;
laboratory test results (if previously conducted).
2. 🔍 Document analysis and product identification
The accredited body checks:
the accuracy of the data and composition;
whether the product belongs to a category requiring registration;
the accuracy of the labeling;
compliance with the EAEU Unified Sanitary Requirements.
After the analysis, a testing program is formed and a list of laboratory studies is determined.
3. 🔬 Laboratory testing
If foreign test reports are not recognized in the EAEU, samples undergo repeat testing in accredited laboratories in Kazakhstan.
Tests include:
toxicological analysis (presence of harmful substances, heavy metals);
microbiological studies;
physicochemical indicators;
packaging safety check (if necessary).
📘 ALMA TEST organizes the collection and dispatch of samples, as well as monitoring of all testing stages.
4. 📄 Preparation of an expert opinion
The following documents are prepared based on the test results:
test report;
expert opinion, confirming that the products are safe and comply with the requirements of the EAEU.
Based on these documents, the authorized body makes a decision on issuing the SGR.
5. 🏛️ Issuance of a certificate and entry into the register
Following approval, product information is entered in the EAEU Unified Register of Certificates on the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) website.
The product is then authorized for lawful circulation in all member states: Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan.
📦 Labeling requirements for imported products
The packaging must indicate:
name and purpose of the product;
composition and country of origin;
information about the manufacturer and importer (with address and contacts);
date of manufacture, expiration date and storage conditions;
SGR registration number (upon receipt);
instructions for use (if necessary).
📘 All inscriptions must be in Russian or the language of the country of circulation.
