Exporting and importing into Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan’s rising economy and young workforce offer great trade potential. The country has bilateral trade agreements with 55 other countries, further encouraging trade with Uzbekistan, and is the leading producer of machinery and heavy equipment in Central Asia. Uzbekistan’s geographical location within Asia provides easy trade access to regional markets, encouraging trade. It is also located near large economies such as China and India, increasing its trade potential.
Uzbekistan primarily trades with China, Russia, and Kazakhstan, mainly exporting gold and importing machinery and equipment. The Uzbekistani government is also trying to position the country among the top 30 countries worldwide for e-commerce development. While the tech potential exists, the challenge arises when getting tech goods into Uzbekistan, requiring an Importer of Record to ensure goods successfully make it through customs.

Specialized Solution for Importing into Uzbekistan
Many documents for importing into Uzbekistan must be in Uzbek, where TecEx can ensure that all documentation is filled in correctly and accurately, removing any added stress. TecEx has over a decade of experience dealing with the documents required for importation to Uzbekistan, such as commercial invoices and certificates of origin, and can therefore gather all paperwork efficiently and accurately.
Uzbekistan also requires a local entity to be registered in the country for goods to be imported. TecEx can overcome this issue by taking on the role of the Importer of Record to successfully get goods through customs.
Uzbekistan also faces corruption, which can lead to financial losses and delays. The TecEx Delivered Duty Paid solution will take on all risk, making the entry of tech goods into Uzbekistan hassle-free.
Unique Pain Points for Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan is classified as a developing country; infrastructure, such as underdeveloped roads and transport routes, can lead to delays and further create an administrative burden. TecEx experts have decades of experience navigating logistical challenges and will ensure that goods successfully make it through customs in the most efficient way.
Uzbekistan is also landlocked, so the only way to import tech into the country is via air. This makes it a logistical problem and can lead to port congestion, which can cause delays. TecEx can therefore monitor the entire import process from start to finish, ensuring that goods reach Uzbekistan efficiently.
