In Kazakhstan, e-waybill for goods, commonly referred to as SNT, form part of the country’s IS ESF digital tax ecosystem together with e-invoices and the Virtual Warehouse module. The system supports end-to-end traceability for in-scope goods and helps track stock movements in production, import, export, sales, and domestic movement procedures.
The waybills for goods are issued electronically through the IS ESF system and, where applicable, through the Virtual Warehouse module. They are created in XML format and signed with an electronic digital signature. SNT documents are used to monitor the movement of goods, while ESF documents relate to Kazakhstan e-invoicing. These functions are connected but should be described separately.
What do the new rules cover?
The list of goods that need to be registered is specified in the applicable legislation and includes goods subject to traceability and Virtual Warehouse requirements, such as alcohol, tobacco, biofuel, and other listed product categories.
In Kazakhstan, electronic waybills for goods must be registered for in-scope transactions involving listed goods, including:
- moving, selling, or shipping in-scope goods inside Kazakhstan;
- importing in-scope goods from Eurasian Economic Union and non-Eurasian Economic Union countries into Kazakhstan;
- exporting in-scope goods from Kazakhstan to Eurasian Economic Union and non-Eurasian Economic Union countries.
What is the Virtual Warehouse?
Companies that import, produce, sell, or move goods specified in the applicable list must register and keep accounting records for these goods in the Virtual Warehouse module. The Virtual Warehouse is a module of the IS ESF system that supports automatic traceability of goods within Kazakhstan. It helps monitor inventory movements from production or import through sale, export, or other stock movement scenarios.
The Virtual Warehouse automates the recognition and accounting of goods while also supporting the electronic transmission of documents related to product movements and records.
