Frequently asked questions
How is an authorized representative different from an importer?
An importer can obtain a document only for the batch it imports. An authorized representative acts on behalf of the factory: the certificate or declaration covers serial production, and it can be used by importers authorized by the manufacturer or the applicant.
Does the factory need to open a company in Kazakhstan?
No. That is what an authorized representative is for: a company registered in an EAEU country that represents the foreign manufacturer under a contract.
What is the authorized representative responsible for?
Together with the manufacturer, for the conformity of products to EAEU technical regulations. By law, it must provide the certificate or declaration to buyers, suspend the release of non-conforming products, ensure their recall and comply with orders from state authorities. That is why we check the documentation and test results before filing the application.
Where must the documents be kept?
Within the EAEU – by the manufacturer or the authorized representative, for at least 10 years. We keep the package and provide it to state control authorities on request.
