Cost to import a car from Japan to Uzbekistan
Rates & rules last reviewed
Uzbekistan is Central Asia's most populous country and a growing market for reliable used vehicles. Demand for Japanese makes has increased as buyers weigh the quality and parts availability of Japanese imports against locally-assembled alternatives. Like its neighbours, Uzbekistan is fully landlocked, so getting a car from Japan involves ocean freight to a transit hub and then a multi-border overland leg — a route our licensed team manages from end to end. Uzbekistan operates its own customs regime outside the EAEU, with its own duty rates, VAT structure and vehicle registration requirements. Because our detailed packet data for Uzbekistan is still being compiled, our licensed team confirms the exact, current duties and registration charges once we know your car.

Import duties & taxes in Uzbekistan explained
Our detailed import-duty data for Uzbekistan is still being compiled. Uzbekistan applies its own customs tariff — outside the EAEU — with duty rates, excise charges and VAT on imported vehicles that depend on engine size, vehicle age and declared customs value. The overland transit logistics also add meaningful inland freight cost given the landlocked geography. Our team confirms the exact, current figure for your car.
