Any legal entity registered with the tax authorities of Uzbekistan may launch a relevant business and engage in international trade, provided it meets the country's government requirements. To conduct commercial export and import operations involving Uzbekistan, a business must be registered and hold the appropriate license (where required), as well as be listed in the country's trade and corporate registers.
The Ministry of Foreign Trade of Uzbekistan (MFT) requires all domestic enterprises engaged in export-import operations to register as participants in international trade.
The State Customs Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan operates as the customs authority, protecting the rights and legitimate interests of individuals and legal entities, ensuring the economic security of the Republic of Uzbekistan, and enforcing regulations issued by ministries and agencies that facilitate legitimate trade; it also regulates the export and import of goods between Uzbekistan, Russia, and other countries.
The Importance of Documentation
Proper documentation is crucial for regulating the import of goods. Every country requires specific paperwork to execute trade transactions. Documents must be prepared in a specific manner to comply with the requirements of the importing or exporting country. The importer is responsible for ensuring the preparation of all documents necessary to meet customs regulations and all other relevant requirements and rules.
