**The State Tax Service of Kyrgyzstan has urged entrepreneurs to reconcile the names of goods, works, and services with the new electronic catalog by March 1, 2027\. It will become part of the updated ESF 2.0 electronic invoice system. As of November 1, 2026, more than 4 million active items have been registered in the catalog, the STS reports.**

Out of the total number of registered items, **4,083,932 are goods**, and another **1,183 are works and services**.

> The new catalog is designed to unify the names of goods, works, and services, as well as to increase the accuracy of electronic document management.

#### **What businesses need to do before March 1**

Entrepreneurs must check whether the names of goods, works, and services they use match the items in the new catalog.

If the required item is not in the system, the taxpayer can submit an application to add it through their personal account, providing complete and reliable information.

> The STS recommends **not delaying the check until March 1, 2027**. The agency asks importers to pay special attention to the completeness and accuracy of information.

The work is being carried out within the framework of the Cabinet of Ministers' directive dated **September 16, 2026, No. 705-t**, which provides for the launch of ESF 2.0 in pilot mode.

Upon completion of testing, the updated system is planned to be put into commercial operation. In the future, it is expected to replace the current electronic invoice system.

> In addition, **starting in 2027, the STS plans to integrate the catalog with the "Svody Post" information system**, which is used when importing goods from the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) member states.

#### **How the transition to ESF 2.0 is progressing**

Previously, **Economist.kg** [reported](https://economist.kg/dengi/2026/07/25/gns-esf-2-proslezhivaemost-tovarov/) on the preparation of the new electronic invoice system.

The six-month [pilot](https://economist.kg/biznes/2026/09/18/esf-2-pilot-kyrgyzstan/) of ESF 2.0 started on September 1, 2026\. Participation is mandatory for businesses operating with oil, petroleum products, coal, alcohol, and tobacco products. Other companies can join voluntarily.

> ESF 2.0 provides for digital accounting of goods movement, the creation of a virtual warehouse, and the automation of document flow.

In September, Kyrgyzstan also [introduced](https://economist.kg/biznes/2026/09/15/proslezhivaemost-tovarov-1-oktyabrya/) a traceability system for certain goods imported from EAEU countries. It applies, in particular, to refrigerators, freezers, washing machines, and televisions.

> At the same time, the traceability system is already operating in commercial mode and is not part of the six-month ESF 2.0 pilot.

In October, the STS [urged](https://economist.kg/biznes/2026/10/16/gns-biznes-podklyuchenie-esf-2/) entrepreneurs to be more active in connecting to the testing of updated invoices. The agency recommended mastering the new functionality in advance, checking product accounting, and reporting any identified problems.
