The Kyrgyz Republic has announced a six-month extension to its existing ban on the export of ferrous scrap metal, metal waste, and ferrous metal ingots designated for remelting (classified under EAEU HS code 7204). This regulatory measure continues to affect international freight movements and supply chain operations within the region.

The extended prohibition impacts various categories of ferrous materials, potentially influencing global scrap metal markets and trade flows. Freight forwarders operating in Central Asian routes should note these ongoing restrictions when planning shipments and advising clients on alternative sourcing strategies.
