The head of the department for control and labeling of excise goods of the State Tax Service, Bakyt Akmatov, stated on the radio that the fuel labeling system in Kyrgyzstan guarantees its authenticity and protects consumer interests.

According to him, fuel that enters the country by rail undergoes a labeling process upon import. This labeling is not just a simple mark — it confirms the authenticity of the product.

Akmatov noted that thanks to the labeling, citizens are protected: “It maintains the integrity of the fuel until it is sold to the final consumer. It also prevents the addition of unauthorized additives during transportation: if foreign substances are introduced into the fuel, it will be considered unlabeled and illegal,” he explained.

Moreover, the labeling serves as a control function for fuel supplies on the part of the state. “It helps collect taxes and track legal volumes of supplies,” the department head added.
