Cargo release in Uzbekistan: declaration, payments, certificates.
Export
Export declaration and certificate of origin.
Transit
Transit declaration and TIR carnet for passage through Uzbekistan.
When customs clearance is needed
Every consignment that crosses the border of Uzbekistan needs customs clearance. We handle three procedures. For import, the cargo is released in Uzbekistan: the declaration is filed, duties are paid and certificates are collected. For export, you need an export declaration and a certificate of origin. Transit through Uzbekistan is cleared with a transit declaration and a TIR carnet.
You can order the service together with the transport or separately. If we also transport the cargo, we prepare the declaration while it is on the road. That way it spends less time at the terminal. If you have already brought the cargo in yourself, we will clear it separately: send us the documents, and the manager will tell you what is missing.
How clearance works
You send a description of the goods and the documents. We select the HS code: the duty rates, the tax and the permits depend on it. Before the cargo is dispatched we calculate the duty, VAT and fees in advance, so you know the full import cost instead of finding out at the border. We then prepare the set of documents, file the declaration and accompany the inspection if one is ordered.
If the documents are in order, clearance usually takes less than a day. Delays are most often caused by mistakes in the invoice or missing certificates. Another common cause is a wrong HS code: the cargo is held and the payments are recalculated. That is why we check both the code and the documents before dispatch, not on the day the cargo reaches the border.
What to send us
For the calculation and filing we need the invoice, the packing list, the CMR and the contract with the supplier. For export, and in some cases for import, a certificate of origin is also needed. If your goods require certificates of conformity or phytosanitary certificates, ask the supplier for them in advance. The exact list depends on the goods: send us a description and the manager will tell you what is missing.
For how we clear cargo on specific routes, see the route pages, for example from China. If your cargo travels on a groupage truck, clearance is added in the same way: groupage.

Questions and answers
Can I order clearance without transport?
Yes, customs clearance can be ordered separately from transport. If we also handle the transport, we prepare the declaration while the truck is on the way, so the cargo spends less time at the terminal.
How long does clearance take?
If the documents are in order, it usually takes less than a day. Delays are most often caused by invoice errors or missing certificates, so we check the documents before shipping.
What happens if the HS code is wrong?
The cargo will be held up and the payments recalculated. We check the code before shipping.
Where is the cargo cleared?
We clear cargo at customs posts and terminals along the route, together with a licensed customs broker. The exact location depends on the route, the type of goods and the chosen regime. The manager will name it when calculating the cost.
What documents do I need for customs clearance?
Invoice, packing list, CMR, supplier contract and certificate of origin; if needed — conformity or phytosanitary certificates. The exact list depends on the goods — send a description and the manager will say what's missing.
Do you help with the HS code and duty calculation?
Yes, we'll select the HS code and calculate duty, VAT and fees in advance, so you know the full import cost before shipping.
