Kyrgyzstan is streamlining its export procedures for animal products through the "Tulpar" automated information system. The Ministry of Agriculture announced that this digital platform is now the sole method for obtaining veterinary certificates for goods destined for export.
The "Tulpar" system digitizes the entire certification process. Entrepreneurs must first submit an electronic application. Following this, a veterinary specialist meticulously checks the product to ensure it meets all necessary veterinary and sanitary standards. This verification includes entering details about the production date, expiration date, and accompanying documents into the system, confirming their authenticity.
As a crucial step, samples are collected for laboratory analysis. The results are then uploaded into "Tulpar." Only when these results are positive and the product fully complies with all requirements does the veterinary specialist issue the export certificate through the system. The ministry highlights that "Tulpar" enhances the digitalization of veterinary services, promotes transparency, and significantly cuts down the time needed to process export documentation, thereby supporting trade.
