| Title | Kyrgyzstan's Entry into the Customs Union: an Exit from the Re-exporting Path? |
| Summary | Kyrgyzstan’s potential entry into the customs union of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia is by far the hottest debate in the country these days. Special place in these heated discussions is devoted to the future of Kyrgyzstan’s re-exporting activity, since the country has been the regional centre of re-exports of Chinese goods for many years. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate whether Kyrgyzstan’s entry into the customs union will be an exit from its re-exporting path. The methodology applied in the current work is the comparative analysis of tariff rates in Kyrgyzstan and the customs union of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia with emphasis put on the tariff rates for re-exported goods. The detailed examination of Kyrgyzstan’s trade relations with Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia on the one side and with China on the other provides a basis for this analysis. The major finding of the study is that the new tariff structure of the customs union is not expected to have a significant effect on Kyrgyz re-exports. Thus, Kyrgyzstan’s entry into the customs union will not be an exit from its re-exporting path. |
