“The employees of the FCS may have doubted that this textile product is self-sewn from Kyrgyzstan, rather than from Uzbekistan,” she explained.
Additionally, the meeting discussed a draft protocol on amendments to the Agreement concerning criminal and administrative liability for violations of the customs legislation of the Customs Union and its member states, signed on July 5, 2010. This draft was submitted for approval.

According to information provided by representatives of the textile industry, since September 15, 2025, the Russian side has begun active inspections of light industry products arriving from Kyrgyzstan.
As a result, such measures have raised concerns among entrepreneurs, who reported the closure of “at least 4-5 thousand sewing workshops.” However, this information was denied by the government.
