Importance of the Kazakhstan Market and General Export Conditions

An assessment of chicken feet exports from Iran to Kazakhstan shows that this country is one of the approved commercial destinations for traders and exporters of this product.

Kazakhstan is considered one of the target markets for Iranian chicken feet exports and is also listed as a destination in Iran’s official customs statistics. However, to achieve success in this market, several key points must be considered

Required Health Certificates

Protein products must have an IR code.
This code, issued by Iran’s Veterinary Organization, guarantees compliance with hygiene requirements at the production unit and is essential for customs clearance.
Examples of such codes for chicken feet include IR1055 and IR1071.

Direct and Indirect Shipping
Although direct shipment to Kazakhstan is possible, sometimes exports may be carried out indirectly via a third country (such as Hong Kong) due to specific regulations.

Transportation
This product is usually shipped in refrigerated containers that maintain a temperature of -18°C.
Each container can hold around 28 tons (1,400 cartons of 20 kg each)

Market Requirements and Quality Standards

To compete in the Kazakh market, your product must meet the highest quality levels.

• Quality Grade: A, +A, ++A

• Average Weight: usually 30–35 grams and above (+30, +35)

• Appearance: free from damaged, blackened, or bruised footpads; no fractures, black spots, or blood clots

• Moisture: less than 3%

• Packaging: standard 20 kg cartons, usually 4 × 5 kg bags or 2 × 10 kg bags

Additionally, the production and packaging process is crucial. The product must be continuously chilled from slaughterhouse to packaging. Using a blast freezer at -40°C ensures a pink final color, which indicates high quality

1. Procurement and Processing

Practical Strategies for Export Success

• Eliminate Intermediaries: Direct contact with chicken feet producers ensures better quality and fairer prices.

• Request Product Analysis: Ask for a full analysis sheet (moisture level, breakage rate, etc.) to determine the real value of the goods.

• Understand Import Regulations: Before signing contracts, confirm Kazakhstan’s import rules (e.g., packaging or labeling restrictions).

• Work with Experienced Traders: Collaborating with international trading companies can secure safer and more effective entry into Kazakhstan’s market.
