Shipping Clothing from Italy to Kyrgyzstan
We put together orders for shops and marketplace sellers in Bishkek and Osh: buying in Prato, inspection, consolidation and documents for EAEU rules.
Kyrgyzstan is a member of the Eurasian Economic Union, so clothing from Italy is imported under the EAEU Customs Code and the common customs tariff. For many clothing items the duty is combined: a percentage of the value, but not less than a set amount per kilogram, so light, expensive garments are charged differently from heavy, inexpensive ones. VAT is generally added on top of the duty; the standard rate in Kyrgyzstan is 12%. Clothing and textiles fall under technical regulation TR CU 017/2011, and children's items under TR CU 007/2011. The declaration or certificate of conformity is issued to an applicant registered in an EAEU country, usually the importer, and the EAC mark goes on the product. An Italian factory cannot be the applicant, yet only the factory has the compositions, descriptions and samples, so we take care of collecting them.
What we do for shipments to Kyrgyzstan
Consolidated shipments
We combine small orders from several factories into one shipment, so freight does not eat the margin on a €500 to €2,000 order.
Road freight
Groupage trucks through our logistics partners. Transit takes several weeks; we give an estimate after quoting with the carrier.
Air freight to Bishkek
Urgent orders and samples go by air cargo with a transfer. Useful for testing a style before a larger purchase.
TR CU document pack
Compositions, style descriptions, label photos, factory test reports where available, and samples for your certification body.
Labels for the EAEU
We agree label information in Russian with the factory and, where national law requires it, in Kyrgyz, plus space for the EAC mark.
Weights in the paperwork
The packing list shows net and gross weight for every item: with a combined rate, the duty amount depends on it.
Why we are a reliable choice
Built for small businesses
We handle orders from €500 and live sessions from showrooms: practical for shops and marketplace sellers.
Accurate compositions
We check the label against the fabric before dispatch, so the data in the declaration of conformity matches the goods.
Counterparty checks
We screen the consignee against EU sanctions lists and work with companies that sell the goods in Kyrgyzstan.
Transparent pricing
Factory invoices with no mark-up, a commission of 7 to 10%, and the first live session is included.
FAQ
What will I pay at customs in Kyrgyzstan?
Duty under the common EAEU tariff (often combined for clothing), import VAT at a standard rate of 12%, and customs fees. The exact amount by HS code is calculated by your customs representative.
Does clothing need a declaration of conformity?
As a rule, yes: most light-industry products fall under TR CU 017/2011, children's items under TR CU 007/2011. The certification body decides the form of proof, declaration or certificate, based on the product type.
Who can be the applicant?
A company or sole trader registered in an EAEU country, usually your business in Kyrgyzstan. We supply documents and samples from the factory, but we cannot act as the applicant.
Is digital marking of clothing required?
Kyrgyzstan's national marking system is being introduced in stages, and the list of goods changes. Check with your broker before dispatch whether the requirement applies to your category on the date of import.
