The Government of Uzbekistan restricts imports of certain goods by imposing high tariffs and other import duties in order to protect and foster local manufacturing. Surveys of foreign companies consistently conclude that trade/border/customs restrictions and poorly administrated procedures are among serious challenges for doing business with Uzbekistan. In its 2019 Doing Business report, the World Bank ranked Uzbekistan 165th out of 190 for the “Trading across Borders” indicator.
