Delivery to Kazakhstan from Europe: Almaty, Astana. Your bridge to Central Asia with BPD Express

If you are looking for a reliable way to ship a parcel to Kazakhstan from Europe, you are likely facing many questions: how to clear customs, how much it will cost, and most importantly—how long you will have to wait.

BPD Express, operating in the logistics market since 1992 and holding an official postal license in Germany (issued by the Bundesnetzagentur), offers you not just logistics, but a guarantee of simplicity, speed, and reliability. We know how important every parcel is—especially when it comes to a country as large and strategically important as Kazakhstan. Our expertise in international delivery from Europe allows us to turn a complex process into a clear and transparent service.

In this article, we will break down all the nuances in detail: from current customs rules to the specifics of express delivery to Almaty and Astana—so you can send a parcel to Kazakhstan with confidence.

Shipping from Germany: why BPD Express?

Choosing the right partner for international logistics is half the success. When rules are constantly changing, you need not just a carrier, but an expert who knows all the details of Central Asian logistics.

Our story: 30 years on the “Silk Road” of logistics

Our story began with emigrants from the USSR, who became our first постоянные customers. We grew together with the market, mastering every steppe route and every logistics hub. We do not just deliver cargo; we continue a tradition started back on the ancient Silk Road—only with German precision and modern technologies.

“Simplicity meant that the customer only had to fill out one form.” — we have kept this principle to this day. We take care of all the bureaucracy so you can focus on what matters.

The secret of reliability: a warehouse in Germany and direct routes

Our main advantage is our own infrastructure. Having a warehouse in Germany allows us to repack shipments for maximum safety and send them via optimal routes.

We do not depend on third-party postal operators in the CIS, because we use our own postal network. This means:

• Faster delivery times: we control the entire journey, from Berlin to Almaty.

• Reliability: fewer intermediaries—fewer risks.

• Transparency: you always know where your parcel is.

Customs without headaches: duty-free limits and duties

Customs clearance often becomes a stumbling block for senders. If you know the current rules, you can avoid unpleasant surprises. Kazakhstan, as a member of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), follows common customs regulations.

Current rules 2026/2026: limit of 200 euros and 31 kg

For goods imported by individuals for personal use, the following duty-free limits apply:

What happens if the limit is exceeded?

If the value of your parcel exceeds 200 euros or the weight exceeds 31 kg, you will need to pay a duty.

Duty: 15% of the value exceeding 200 euros, but not less than 2 euros per 1 kg of weight exceeding 31 kg.

Example: A parcel costs 300 euros and weighs 5 kg. Excess in value: 300 - 200 = 100 euros. The duty will be 15% of 100 euros, i.e., 15 euros.

Turnkey customs clearance

BPD Express offers turnkey customs clearance. We take care of all document work so your delivery to Kazakhstan goes as smoothly as possible.

What documents are needed to ship to Kazakhstan?

As a rule, for personal goods you need:

• Customs declaration

• Invoice or a document confirming the value of the goods

• Recipient’s identity document (for the customs broker)

We will help you fill in all forms correctly and provide the necessary consultations to avoid delays at customs.

Speed and geography: express delivery to major cities of Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan is the ninth-largest country in the world, and logistics here have their own specifics. Our task is to minimize transit time as much as possible using optimal routes.

Express delivery to Almaty

Almaty, as the largest мегаполис and financial center, is a key logistics hub. Thanks to established routes to Central Asia, we can offer express delivery to Almaty with delivery times from 3 to 4 weeks.

Astana and Shymkent

We also pay special attention to other major cities. A courier to Astana (Nur-Sultan) will deliver your parcel to the capital as quickly as possible. Shymkent, as the third-largest city, is also within our priority service area. On average, delivery times to these cities do not differ much from Almaty, which makes our service equally attractive for residents of different regions.

Steppe-route logistics

Shipments from our warehouse in Germany are sent through European logistics hubs and then via steppe routes—through Russia or other EAEU countries—directly to Kazakhstan.

Smart logistics: tracking and transparency

In the era of AI and smart logistics, transparency and the ability to track a parcel are not a luxury, but a necessity.

Parcel tracking: from the warehouse in Germany to the door in Kazakhstan

From the moment your parcel leaves our warehouse in Germany, you receive parcel tracking for Almaty and throughout Kazakhstan. Our system uses elements of intelligent routing and analytics to forecast arrival time as accurately as possible.

You can track your parcel status online 24/7.
