Tajikistan - PricingTajikistan-Pricing
To estimate pricing on the local market, companies should take into account transportation costs, associated import duties (customs duties, fees, certification costs), and value added tax (VAT). On March 2, 2013 Tajikistan became the 159th member of World Trade Organization (WTO). Tajikistan conducted bilateral negotiations with 13 WTO members on market access for goods, setting the average tariff for all goods at 8 percent (10.4 percent for agricultural products and 7.6 percent for non-agricultural products). Importers must pay 18 percent VAT, though certain categories of goods may qualify for exemptions, subject to Tajik government approval. Trading with Tajikistan is challenging because the country is so distant from seaports. Competition from Russian, Asian, and European producers is significant. Most consumers in Tajikistan are very price-sensitive and usually opt for lower prices over quality.
