An active information campaign has begun in the Kyrgyz Republic, initiated by the Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture, and Processing Industry, aimed at preventing violations of phytosanitary standards during the export of goods. Important aspects of foreign economic activity (FEA) are discussed at meetings held in the territorial offices of the Department of Chemicalization, Plant Protection, and Quarantine.
The main focus of these meetings is on the importance of providing accurate and verified addresses of cargo recipients in the destination countries. The agency emphasizes that this measure is aimed at eliminating the practice of including false information in phytosanitary certificates.
Strict sanctions will be applied to violators: if two notifications regarding violations related to inaccurate data are received from the authorized body of the destination country within a year, the exporter will be officially denied the issuance of a phytosanitary certificate. The ban on issuing the certificate will last for 60 calendar days, which will effectively lead to a temporary blockage of the company's export activities.
Department specialists emphasize that strict adherence to documentation rules is a necessary condition for maintaining trust from international partners and ensuring uninterrupted access of Kyrgyz agricultural products to foreign markets. Exporters are strongly advised to carefully verify information about their counterparties before submitting certification applications to avoid financial losses and risks to their reputation.
