Shipping Clothing from Italy to Uzbekistan
We buy from factories in Prato and Florence and ship to Tashkent, Samarkand and other cities with labels and documents prepared for Uzbek requirements.
Uzbekistan is not a member of the Eurasian Economic Union: it has been an observer since 2020. It therefore applies its own customs tariff, its own conformity assessment system and its own labelling rules, and EAEU certificates do not replace them on their own. On import, duty by commodity code and VAT are generally payable, with a standard VAT rate of 12% in 2026. Rates on finished garments can be noticeably higher than on fabrics and textile raw materials, so it is worth running the numbers before you choose the range. There is also a language requirement. For most consumer goods, a certificate of conformity is not issued unless the manufacturer has applied labelling in the state language, Uzbek in Latin script. This means labels have to be prepared at the factory in Italy. Uzbekistan is reforming its technical regulation system in 2026 and is negotiating WTO accession, so confirm the current rules for your product with a broker before each large shipment.
What we do for shipments to Uzbekistan
Uzbek-language labels
We order labels in Uzbek, in Latin script, from the factory before dispatch. Texts, composition and importer details are agreed with you in advance.
Certification data
For the accredited conformity assessment body we gather compositions, style descriptions, photos of labels and samples if testing is needed.
Groupage road freight
We ship in consolidated trucks through our logistics partners. Transit takes several weeks; the carrier gives a precise estimate when quoting the consignment.
Air freight to Tashkent
Urgent and light consignments go by air cargo with a transfer at a hub. It costs more than road freight but is faster.
Costing before you buy
We send your broker HS codes and prices per style, so you can estimate duty and VAT before paying the factories.
Counterparty checks
We screen the consignee against EU sanctions lists and, where needed, ask for confirmation that the goods are sold in Uzbekistan.
Why it is simpler with us
Labelled at source
Uzbek labels are sewn in at the factory, not stuck on in a Tashkent warehouse after arrival.
Rules of their own
We do not apply the EAEU template to Uzbekistan: documents are prepared for national certification.
Checks before dispatch
Quality, quantities and labelling are checked in Italy, while any claim can still be settled directly with the factory.
In your language
We run the order in Russian or English on WhatsApp or Telegram and negotiate with the factories in Italian.
FAQ
Is an EAEU certificate valid in Uzbekistan?
As a rule, no: Uzbekistan is not an EAEU member and has its own conformity assessment system. Which document your product needs, and whether a foreign test report can be recognised, is confirmed by an accredited body or your broker.
Does the label have to be in Uzbek?
For most packaged consumer goods, yes: without labelling in Uzbek in Latin script, the certificate of conformity may be refused. Russian and other languages can be added alongside Uzbek, but not instead of it.
Which taxes are paid on import?
Duty by commodity code, VAT (standard rate 12% in 2026) and customs fees. Temporary reliefs exist for some textile raw materials, but they usually do not cover finished clothing.
Is digital code marking required?
The Asl Belgisi marking system covers a growing number of product groups. Check with your broker before dispatch whether it applies to your clothing or footwear on the date of import.
