Kyrgyzstan Nears Electric Vehicle Import Quota Limit

Kyrgyzstan is on the verge of exhausting its allocated quota for electric vehicle imports for the year 2026. The State Customs Service reported that as of June 30, 2026, only 986 units of the total quota remain available. The quota for this year was set at 15,000 electric motor vehicles.

The preferential import regime applies to electric vehicles classified under specific EAEU Foreign Economic Activity Commodity Nomenclature codes. The online counter managed by the State Customs Service automatically updates as vehicles are cleared through customs, reflecting the rapid utilization of the quota.

Once the 15,000-unit quota is fully utilized, any subsequent electric vehicles imported into the Kyrgyz Republic will be subject to a standard import duty. This duty is set at 15 percent of the vehicle's customs value. The State Customs Service has advised importers to take this impending change into account when planning their shipments.

This situation follows a similar trend in 2025, when Kyrgyzstan's quota of 10,000 electric vehicles was reached by the end of September, indicating a strong and growing demand for electric transport within the country and a rapid pace of adoption.
