As of today, the regulatory coverage of SW covers all regulatory requirements with the
exception of trade in animal and animal products and plants and plant based products. 10
specialized state agencies and Government departments and five private companies that
provide regulatory services are now integrated into the SW and in total 33 documents can be
requested. Procedures from three state agencies, including the state agency for sanitary and
phytosanitary inspection, are not yet covered by the SW but are in the process of being
incorporated. These procedures have to be accomplished prior to presenting the goods to
customs for clearance.
In addition, TULPAR exchanges licenses data with the Customs Management System and the
Goods Standard certificate with the Eurasian Community Commission. This data exchange
allows both entities to verify documents presented to them in paper or electronic format.
Traders and/or their representatives have to provide the number of the decision in the
customs declaration and customs officials can view and download the electronic documents
issued by the other state agency using the reference numbers.
At this stage, the registration of importers/exporters/producers is not covered by the Single
Window, although multiple registration requirements exist and the procedures are reported to
be lengthy. TULPAR is currently developing the customs fees duty simulator and is expected
soon to be integrated and operational.
The Single Window services are accessible over the Internet from everywhere in the country,
but because procedures may differ in each of the regions, the Single Window currently covers
only Bishkek based procedures.
At this stage all procedures are paper based because of the lack of legal framework for
electronic documents and e-signature. All 33 documents are available in electronic format, but
