How to Import Toyota Camry from China to Kazakhstan (Step-by-Step Guide)

Importing a Toyota Camry from China to Kazakhstan takes seven steps: choose the specification, get a quotation, confirm a proforma invoice, pay, inspect, deliver overland, then clear customs and register the car under EAEU rules. The two things that most often go wrong are certification and the recycling fee — check both before you pay.

Step 1: Which Camry should you import to Kazakhstan?

Decide on model year, powertrain and trim. Taxi and rental buyers in Almaty and Astana usually choose the 2.0L hybrid for its 4.2–4.5 L/100 km WLTC rating; private and executive buyers often choose the 2.0HG or 2.5HG hybrid. The 2.0L petrol remains the simplest option to service. Browse all Camry model years.

Step 2: Request a quotation

Send the model year, trim or budget, colour, quantity and delivery city. We reply with availability and a quotation. For overland delivery the relevant terms are usually FCA or DAP rather than FOB or CIF, which are sea-freight terms under Incoterms 2020. Ask us which term fits your route.

Step 3: Confirm the proforma invoice

The proforma invoice (PI) lists the exact vehicles, price, delivery term, delivery time and payment terms. Check the trim codes and colours carefully — for example, “2.0HGVP” and “2.0HG” are different trims. Nothing is paid before you agree the PI.

Step 4: Payment and allocation

After payment we allocate the vehicles. In-stock vehicles can be shipped within 10 working days after payment; specific or custom models depend on sourcing. You receive photos or video of the allocated units.

Step 5: Inspection before departure

We coordinate inspection before the car leaves, and you can appoint an independent inspector if you prefer. For used cars, you receive mileage and condition details. Every milestone is confirmed with a photo or video.

Step 6: How are cars delivered from China to Kazakhstan?

Kazakhstan shares a land border with China, so most Camrys travel overland by car-carrier truck or rail through border crossings such as Khorgos. The route and timing depend on your city and quantity and are written on the PI. Export documents typically include the commercial invoice, packing list, transport document and certificate of origin.

Step 7: Customs clearance, certification and registration

Kazakhstan is a member of the Eurasian Economic Union, and vehicles must meet the EAEU technical regulation on the safety of wheeled vehicles, TR CU 018/2011. Your broker obtains the right conformity document, pays customs charges and the recycling (utilization) payment, and then the car can be registered. Rates change, so confirm them with the State Revenue Committee or a licensed broker before ordering.

How long does the whole process take?

For in-stock cars, shipment can be arranged within 10 working days after payment; add overland transit and clearance time for your city. We give you a confirmed timeline in the quotation. See our Kazakhstan market page for more.
