“A ban on the export of light distillates, aviation fuels, diesel fuel, gas oils, toluene, xylene, and petroleum bitumen from the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan beyond the customs territory of the Eurasian Economic Union will be introduced from January 1, 2025, for a period of six months,” the document states.
Exceptions are provided for. These include: the export of fuel in vehicle fuel tanks, the export of aviation fuel for scientific and research purposes, as well as the supply of certain types of petroleum products as humanitarian aid at the decision of the government of Kazakhstan.
The draft amendments will remain open for public discussion until December 10, 2024.
The ban on the export of certain types of fuel from Kazakhstan beyond the EAEU was previously established by a joint order of the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Finance, the National Security Committee, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs starting from September 29, 2024, to prevent shortages in the domestic market.
