- The Ministry of Economy and Commerce of the Kyrgyz Republic has presented a draft resolution for public discussion, which proposes a temporary ban on the export of scrap and waste of ferrous metals, as well as chargeable ingots for re-melting.
According to this draft, the ban will be in effect for six months and will cover goods corresponding to code 7204 of the EAEU customs classification.
Initially, a similar draft resolution was developed in 2022, and now the ministry proposes to renew this ban.
The proposed document includes the following measures:
Extension of the restriction on the export of scrap and waste of ferrous metals for up to six months;
The ban only applies to raw materials, while the export of processed products remains permitted;
These measures comply with the conditions of the EAEU Treaty, which allows for the introduction of temporary restrictions for up to six months in trade with third countries.
There are five major processing enterprises operating in Kyrgyzstan with a total capacity of about 490,000 tons of processing per year. To support metallurgical companies, the government had previously imposed export customs duties on scrap and waste of both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. However, according to statistical data, the introduced duties did not have the expected effect on reducing export volumes, as stated in the document.
According to information, the export of scrap ferrous metals from Kyrgyzstan decreased by more than 10,000 times from 2022 to 2025. The import of scrap also decreased — from 92.8 tons in 2022 to 20.6 tons from January to October 2025.
Authoritative sources claim that the reintroduction of the ban will help provide existing production lines with the necessary raw materials and meet the high domestic demand for quality secondary metal scrap.
The Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) has decided to eliminate import duty rates for waste and scrap of precious metals (codes 7112 30 000 0, 7112 91 000 0, 7112 92 000 0, and 7112 99...
