Discusses the prevalence and reliability of express delivery firms within the country, time from large U.S. cities, and relevant customs procedures, including de minimis amounts.

A number of international express mail couriers are active in Uzbekistan, including DHL, FedEx, UPS, and others.  Certain commodities are considered as “Non-Documents” and need to be accompanied by an invoice and, in some cases, additional customs documentation.  In July 2018, the government introduced new taxation rules on imported goods valued at over $100.  Transit times from major U.S. cities average around one week.

In accordance with Uzbek legislation on the protection of consumer’s rights, all products sold in the country must contain the following information in Uzbek language:

•              Name of the product;
•              Manufacturer’s name and contact information;
•              Ingredients and “best before” date (for food);
•              User’s manual (if applicable); and
•              Warnings (if applicable).      

This information must be labeled on the product at the facility where it is produced.  The government will not allow in-country labeling.
