What goods are subject to state registration in the EAEU?

📰 Which goods are subject to state registration in the EAEU?

State registration is a mandatory procedure for confirming the safety of products sold within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU).
It applies to goods that may affect human health and require a sanitary and hygienic assessment.
The list of these goods is established by Decision No. 299 of the Customs Union Commission, dated 28 May 2010, and is known as the “Unified List of Products Subject to State Registration”.
This document determines the categories for which a Certificate of State Registration (SGR) is mandatory.

🧾 Main categories of products subject to SGR

1. Dietary supplements

  • Vitamin and mineral complexes
  • Probiotics, enzyme preparations
  • Plant extracts and food concentrates
  • Products declared as sources of biologically active substances
Dietary supplements undergo toxicological and microbiological testing to confirm their safety for daily use.

2. Food and beverages

  • Bottled drinking and mineral water
  • Non-alcoholic beverages
  • Foods for special purposes (therapeutic, dietary and preventive nutrition)
  • Foods for athletes and people with special dietary needs
All products in this category are checked for compliance with sanitary standards, their composition is assessed, and they are tested for harmful components.

3. Products containing GMOs

Any products containing genetically modified organisms are subject to mandatory registration.
This requirement is aimed at ensuring transparency and safety for the end consumer.

4. Cosmetic products

  • Creams, shampoos, masks and makeup
  • Face, body and hair care products
  • Sunscreens and perfumes
For this category, the chemical composition is analyzed and the products are checked for allergens and toxic substances.

5. Personal hygiene products

  • Soap, shower gels, shampoos and deodorants
  • Toothpastes and mouthwashes
  • Intimate hygiene products
The tests are aimed at confirming safety for skin and mucous membranes.

6. Products for children

  • Baby food
  • Toys, bottles, pacifiers
  • Cosmetics and hygiene products for children
  • Feeding utensils and accessories
Stricter registration requirements apply to children’s products because they come into contact with a child’s body.

7. Chemical products

  • Household chemicals (cleaning agents and detergents)
  • Industrial chemical reagents
  • Laundry, cleaning and disinfection products
Products are assessed for toxicity, volatility and safety for the skin and respiratory tract.

8. Specialized food products

  • Foods for therapeutic and preventive nutrition
  • Formulas for sports and dietary nutrition
  • Foods for pregnant and breastfeeding women
Such products undergo separate studies to determine their effectiveness and safety for specific population groups.

⚙️ Why is this list important?

If the product is included in the list established by Decision No. 299, it may not be imported, produced or sold on the territory of the EAEU countries without a valid state registration certificate.
Registration provides:
  • protection of consumers’ health;
  • legal market access for products in Kazakhstan and other member states;
  • recognition of documents throughout the EAEU, without repeating the procedures.

🏛️ Where can I check if a product is subject to SGR?

You can check whether a particular product is included in the list:
  • by its EAEU commodity code (TN VED) in the official EEC register;
  • through a consultation with ALMA TEST specialists, who will determine its category and whether state registration is required.
