Is import allowed?
Yes. We found no age ban for passenger cars — age changes the payments. A presidential decree of 4 June 2026 lifted the one-car-per-year limit for individuals (Gazeta.uz); a certificate of conformity is required for personal imports. Mandatory testing at Piskent stopped on 2 September 2025 (Kun.uz). A December 2025 plan aims to reduce imports in individuals' names, so new rules may follow.
Payments
| Car age | Customs duty (vc.ru, Oct 2026) |
|---|---|
| Under 1 year | 15% + $0.40–1.25 per cc |
| 1–3 years | 30% + $1.80–3.00 per cc |
| Over 3 years | 40% + $3.00 per cc |
- VAT: 12% on customs value plus duty.
- Recycling fee: 210 BRV for a 1–2 L car over 3 years old; 1 BRV = 440,000 soums from 1 September 2026.
Cars over 3 years old become very expensive to clear, so newer cars usually make more sense.
Choosing the right car for Uzbekistan
Because payments depend on age, first ask your broker which date counts — production or first registration — and pick a car that stays inside the cheaper band when it arrives. Engine size matters too: duty includes a dollar amount per cc, so a 1.6-litre car clears for noticeably less than a 2.0-litre one. Electric cars have 0% duty but a higher recycling fee since May 2025, according to Kun.uz.
What we send before you pay
- The full Korean inspection report (performance check record) and the insurance claim history.
- The VIN and a specification sheet, so your broker or customs agent can confirm eligibility and calculate duties in advance.
- Extra photos or a walk-around video on request, including a cold start.
- A written quotation for inland transport, export handling and sea freight to your port.
After payment we deregister the car in Korea, file the export declaration and send the export certificate, invoice and bill of lading for clearance. You or your broker handle customs and registration at home.
