Trade overview

Kazakhstan is Central Asia's largest economy and a significant exporter of crude oil, uranium, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, and grain to global markets including the United States. As a member of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), Kazakhstan's trade policies are partially harmonized with Russia, which has compliance implications for US importers. Its vast natural resources and growing manufacturing sector make it an important sourcing destination.
