Starting from January 1, 2026, in the Kyrgyz Republic, non-alcoholic beverages that are registered as children's food will be subject to excise tax and must be labeled with excise stamps, according to a reminder from the State Tax Service.
The ban on the production and import of such products without excise stamps will come into effect on this date. However, the remaining unlabeled products can be sold until May 1, 2026.
These requirements apply to non-alcoholic beverages that have a state registration certificate as children's food and fall under the commodity category TN VED 2202.
This regulation was introduced by the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic dated February 22, 2022.
The State Tax Service urges manufacturers, importers, and sellers of children's food to comply with the established legal requirements. In case unlabeled products are found, measures will be taken against violators in accordance with the current legislation of Kyrgyzstan.
