Electronics for Kaspi sellers: where each kind comes from

Branded phones, consoles and laptops for Kaspi are mostly bought from wholesalers in Dubai and Hong Kong. Chargers, cables, cases and small devices are ordered from factories in China.

Checked 19 October 2026

Dubai, Hong Kong, China

In Dubai and Hong Kong finished devices come from wholesalers and distributors. In China the work is with factories and trading companies, where batch cost and own-brand packaging matter. Many models are sold in both Dubai and Hong Kong; the regional version, and with it the SIM layout and bands, is set by the model number.

  • Dubai and Hong Kong: Apple and Samsung phones, game consoles, laptops, tablets, headphones and watches from major brands, Dyson appliances.
  • China: chargers, cables, cases, car electronics, smart home devices, small appliances, PC components.
  • Power banks and goods with large lithium batteries: air carriage is restricted by IATA rules, and the delivery mode depends on battery rating and packing.

Kaspi rules and the IMEI requirement

Kaspi's seller guide restricts children's goods, pharmacy, sport and tourism, beauty and health, pet goods, leisure and books, vitamins and supplements, motorcycles, fireworks and jewellery. Electronics are not on the list. Kaspi updates it from time to time.

Kaspi charges commission only on completed sales. The rate is fixed per category and higher during promotions.

Since 20 August 2026 a smartphone cannot be sold in Kazakhstan without IMEI verification: the seller checks the device before sale and writes the IMEI on the purchase document.

What makes up the cost of one unit

  • Purchase price, in dollars or dirhams.
  • Delivery to Kazakhstan by chargeable weight: for air, the greater of actual and volumetric weight.
  • Kaspi's category commission, higher during promotions.
  • Delivery to the buyer and returns.
  • Exchange-rate movement between paying the supplier in foreign currency and selling in tenge.

Sales seasons
