Importing goods into Tajikistan could be complicated and time-consuming.  Comprehensive information on the process is on the Tajik Customs Agency website: www.customs.tj.  Importers should be aware, however, that requirements may change with little notice, and that actual procedures on the border may differ substantially from official regulations.  A customs inspector will begin clearing goods by creating a file containing the following documents, which the importer should have ready: Copy of the importer’s certificate of registration to confirm that it is a legal entity; Copy of the taxpayer identification number (the original must be shown during each phase of the clearance process); Copy of the charter (usually not required, but should be ready if requested); Copy of incorporation documents (usually not required, but should be ready if requested; if equipment from manufacturing plants is being imported as chartered capital, a registered charter and legal statement from the Ministry of Justice should be included); Copy of the certificate of registration with the State Statistics Committee (customs agents may request to see the original during each clearance procedure). The basic document of the customs clearance process is the Customs Cargo Declaration, which includes information about the shipment contents, ownership, and destination.
