A new procedure for importing goods from foreign marketplaces has been introduced in Uzbekistan. Now, for 1 kg of imported parcels, 2% of the basic calculation value must be paid. The new rules will also apply to sending parcels between individuals.

Today the norm of duty-free imports is up to $1000 and if this limit is exceeded, individuals must pay 30% of the excess.

This measure aims to reduce shadow imports and preserve fair competition in the local market. At the same time, consumers will not pay the fee directly, but it may be included in the cost of transporting services.
