The Republic of Kazakhstan is one of the largest post-Soviet countries with a population of about 18 million people, and it is a member of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) along with Russia, Belarus, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan. Membership of Kazakhstan in the EAEU significantly influences the regulatory policy of the state: there is a choice between the \u201cnational\u201d and \u201ccentralized\u201d registration procedure for medicinal products and medical devices at present, while special purpose foods (dietary supplements, baby food, sports nutrition, etc.) and cosmetic products undergo the procedure in accordance with the relevant Technical Regulations of the EAEU only.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kazakhstan is characterized by one of the most transparent market from the point of view of legislation for foreign manufacturers of pharmaceutical products. <\/span>Medicinal products<\/b> of foreign manufacturers occupy the dominant position in the rapidly growing medical market of the country: the imported pharmaceutical products share in the market of Kazakhstan is about 88%.<\/span><\/p>\n

The market of <\/span>medical devices<\/b> is also formed mainly by exports, with the share of about 87%. Import and sale of medical devices and medical equipment in Kazakhstan are allowed after state registration. Regulatory legislation is being actively developed through gradual integration into the EAEU.<\/span><\/p>\n

Import and sale of special purpose <\/span>food products and cosmetic products<\/b> are only allowed if marketing authorization is available. Markets are formed mainly by imports; for dietary supplements, its share is about 86%; for cosmetic products, the share of foreign manufacturers is more than 92%. Special food products (dietary supplements, baby food, sports nutrition, etc.) and cosmetic products undergo registration procedure in accordance with the relevant Technical Regulations of the EAEU only.<\/span><\/p>\n
