Hi - I've just joined the forum as my husband and I will be moving to Almaty in July. Does anyone have any advice on importing our personal goods - about 1/2 a container or furniture, pictures, clothes and bits and bobs.

We are a bit worried that it is going to cost a fortune at customs. I know that if we can have our 'stuff' Almaty will be 'home' and we will settle quicker and stay longer!

Please help!

We found this import guide - has anyone managed to do this successfully?

Temporary import of HHG and personal effects in Kazakhstan is duty and taxes free. This is valid for one year and can be renewed every year until the time the expatriate has finished his stay and is ready to re-export the shipment.
