Clear customs of a container with personal belongings from Uzbekistan and abroad

The Asian market is of great importance for the economy of the Russian Federation. Therefore, active trade relations have been established between the countries, an integral part of which is freight transportation and delivery of various products to Uzbekistan and in the opposite direction. Uzbekistan is a Central Asian state that is part of the CIS. The country shares borders with Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Kyrgyzstan. It cannot be said that the geographical location is optimal when it comes to trade turnover between the Russian Federation and Uzbekistan. Some problems arise when delivering goods. But to solve them, it is enough to turn to reliable and proven transport companies. Currently, cargo transportation in both directions is actively developing, various types of transport and delivery schemes are used. This allows us to minimize the time spent, while at the same time ensuring favorable transportation conditions for all parties.

Rules for the delivery of goods from Russia to Uzbekistan.

Peculiarities

The demand for cargo transportation to Uzbekistan is explained by the fact that the country has many large enterprises, various industries, agricultural facilities involved in growing vegetables, fruits, and livestock. All this is becoming a popular product on the Russian market. The most industrially developed cities of the country are Tashkent, Samarkand, Andijan and Namangan. The main imported goods are:

• grain crops;
• wood;
• oil;
• petroleum product;
• consumer goods;
• medicines;
• pharmaceuticals;
• livestock products.

Much of this comes to the Uzbekistan market from Russian manufacturers. At the same time, the reverse direction of cargo transportation, that is, export to Russia and the CIS countries, is no less popular. Uzbekistan, as a supplier, is regularly ready to provide:

• gold;
• black metals;
• non-ferrous metals;
• uranium ore;
• mineral fertilizers;
• textile products;
• cotton;
• silk;
• vegetables;
• fruits;
• cars.

But still, the main feature of the country from the point of view of cargo transportation can be considered the lack of access to the sea. This eliminates the use of sea transport for delivery directly to the territory of Uzbekistan. This state of affairs cannot be considered a special problem. Although there are no sea routes here, this is more than compensated for by road, rail and air cargo transportation. Regular transportation to Tashkent and other major cities of the country allows us to receive large volumes of goods. In the opposite direction, most often the recipient of cargo from Uzbekistan is Moscow. The capital of the republic, Tashkent, has quite impressive industrial potential. Therefore, delivery of goods to the capital is in high demand. But other settlements also play a big role here. Namely:

• Bukhara;
• Samarkand;
• Andijan;
• Fergana;
• Namangan;
• Karshi;
• Nukus;
• Kokand;
• Margilan.

To carry out cargo transportation, you must first decide on the type and volume of cargo. Then it is recommended to contact a transport company that regularly delivers along the route from Uzbekistan to Russia, as well as in the opposite direction. Such companies have the necessary resources, experience and knowledge, which allows them to develop the optimal route and select the most beneficial mode of transport for all parties.

It is important to add that since 2013, new rules regarding customs clearance have been introduced in Uzbekistan. Since then, all cargo carriers must provide information about the cargo being transported to customs officials, including the following documents:

• export customs declaration, which confirms the customs value of the cargo;
• CT1 certificate;
• codes according to the harmonized system.

All this allows us to minimize the time spent by the cargo carrier, as well as eliminate the possibility of imposing sanctions and fines.

Road transport

Great importance is given to container transportation to Uzbekistan and back. Cars and rail transport can be used for this. For small-volume deliveries, road freight transportation to Tashkent becomes the optimal solution. An important advantage of road freight transportation from Uzbekistan and to this Central Asian country is that such transportation allows you to deliver the cargo directly to the warehouse, office or door of the recipient. Mainly used for transportation:

• eurotrucks;
• tilt trucks;
• isothermal vans;
• tractor-trailers;
• tractors with semi-trailers;
• refrigerated vehicles.

Large-tonnage machines allow loading up to 20 tons of transported products. Moreover, statistics speak mainly in favor of Eurotrucks, which are large in size and allow transporting large quantities of products. Such vehicles are quite maneuverable and have good maneuverability, which, in conditions of far from ideal roads, is of no small importance when organizing cargo transportation. The use of trawls is relevant for those cases when it is necessary to deliver oversized equipment and machinery. Such cargo transportation is considered quite complex and labor-intensive in terms of its organization, since it often requires additional registration of special permits for transportation.

Railway

If it is necessary to transport goods to Uzbekistan from Moscow, or from the capital of Uzbekistan in the opposite direction, the optimal solution is the railway. The popularity of transporting goods on the Moscow – Tashkent route by rail is simply explained. There is a direct connection between the two capitals. Such cargo transportation is considered convenient, reliable and economical. Rail freight transportation shows its maximum financial benefits when cargo is delivered in large volumes. Both Moscow and Tashkent have well-developed railway infrastructure. Freight traffic by train between the capitals of Russia and Uzbekistan makes it possible to transport in different directions:

• containers;
• industrial equipment;
• bulk cargo;
• cars;
• tanks;
• hoppers;
• refrigerators, etc.

The choice of rolling stock is carried out on the basis of what characteristics the transported goods have, what their shelf life is and under what conditions the products need to be transported. Important advantages of rail freight transportation are independence from weather conditions and strict schedules. This makes it possible to guarantee almost 100% that the train will arrive on time. Therefore, deliveries will not be disrupted, which will not lead to chain reactions for shippers and consignees.

But in order for delivery by rail to be carried out according to schedule and without any delays, assistance is required from an experienced and competent freight carrier. It is necessary to coordinate all stages, starting with the selection of a suitable train, ending with unloading work at the destination. This is an extremely responsible undertaking, which can only be entrusted to a transport company with sufficient experience.

Air transportation

Geographically, Uzbekistan is located directly between the European part of the mainland and East Asia. For foreign trade, this location is quite advantageous, since a lot of transit cargo passes through the country. There are a total of 12 major airports on the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan. From them there are regular flights to Athens, London, New York, Delhi and other cities. It is also possible to fly by air from Russia to Uzbekistan, as well as from Uzbekistan to Russia.

Some cargo traveling on the route from Uzbekistan to Russia is classified as valuable or perishable. If urgent, fast and safe delivery is required, an airplane is the best option. You can send cargo to Tashkent from Moscow and St. Petersburg. These are the best options, since there are direct flights between populated areas. There is also the possibility of cargo transportation with transfers, but they are not so attractive in terms of speed and cost.

Air transportation cannot be considered the most optimal way to deliver goods to Russia from Uzbekistan. Also, the route is not in high demand in the opposite direction when compared with rail and road freight transportation. But in certain situations, only an airplane becomes the only correct and best way to deliver cargo.

Consolidated cargo

Groupage cargo sent to Uzbekistan from Russian cities is quite popular. There is also an increase in the activity of return cargo transportation as part of groupage cargo. Consolidated cargo is suitable for those consignees and shippers for whom it is not profitable to hire an entire vehicle, container or railway car. The volume of goods is insignificant, but delivery is required over a considerable distance. Therefore, the best solution to this problem is to send consolidated cargo.

This scheme involves combining products from different clients in consolidation warehouses. Here it is extremely important to contact companies that regularly transport cargo between Russia and Uzbekistan. If the transport organization has a small cargo flow, this will not allow prompt delivery of groupage cargo to Uzbekistan, since the shipper will have to wait a long time for the same container to be filled in order to send it to another country.

But one cannot fail to note the objective advantages of this method of cargo transportation. The client does not need to hire an entire vehicle, which has a beneficial effect on the amount spent when paying for services for cargo delivery. In some cases, you have to wait a little longer than when sending general cargo. But if we are not talking about perishable goods or the obligatory urgency of delivery, then consolidated cargo becomes the optimal solution for all parties.

It is a mistake to assume that due to the low cost of sending groupage cargo, the carrier himself receives little benefit. Each client whose goods are collected at the consolidation warehouse into one common container, truck or wagon pays for delivery. The total benefit is more than substantial.

But here, too, it is important to take into account that the transport company assumes more functions and responsibilities when transporting consolidated cargo. Here you need to go through a rather complicated customs clearance procedure. But, despite all the nuances and some shortcomings, groupage cargo actively travels between Russia and Uzbekistan, which opens up good opportunities for those who want to purchase goods in small quantities without spending a lot of money on delivery.

Secrets of transporting goods to Uzbekistan

The secret to delivering goods to Uzbekistan is not only to find a reliable broker in Russia (Moscow), but also to find a customs broker in Uzbekistan.
An unverified broker can tell us first about payments to the state, and then, when you deliver the cargo, he will say that all the laws have changed in Uzbekistan, and you will now pay different duties. That is why before customs clearance in Uzbekistan, sending cargo to Uzbekistan or before air delivery, all these points need to be agreed upon.

We coordinate the customs declaration with a customs broker in Uzbekistan. The customs broker there coordinates with customs, and after that we send the cargo. This is the secret of correct delivery and customs clearance of cargo to Uzbekistan.

If your customs broker in Uzbekistan does not do this, you may incur additional costs. Therefore, you need not only to find a reliable customs broker in Moscow, because the customs representative in Moscow is not familiar with the procedures in Uzbekistan, but also to find a competent broker in this country.

Exporting to Uzbekistan does not include any risks associated with cargo delay at customs. Also, when exporting, customs duties are not paid to our state, but are paid only in Uzbekistan. If you are planning to export to Uzbekistan, it is very important to find a broker in Uzbekistan who will coordinate all the selected HS codes, description of the goods, customs payments with a customs official.

When exporting, we issue a CMR with all stamps. We put “RELEASE ALLOWED” and hand it over to the driver. We mark and issue our CMRs.

Multimodal transportation schemes

Multimodal transport to Uzbekistan from Russia mainly involves railway modes of transport and cars. In more rare cases, it involves the use of airplanes and trucks to send cargo to the final recipient. Depending on the chosen method of transporting the goods, the duration of the order may be:

• from 12 to 16 days when using road transport;
• from 2 to 5 days for air cargo transportation;
• from 18 to 24 days if the cargo is sent by rail;
• from 20 to 24 days for multimodal cargo transportation.

It is important to note that among all the countries of Central (Middle) Asia, it is in Uzbekistan that there are the most dense and developed railway and road networks. With their help, you can connect remote areas and populated areas of the state.

Plus, the railway and highways have access to international transport systems. Uzbekistan has a rather advantageous location, since 3 international corridors intersect here. They connect European countries and Asian states:

1. West East. The transport artery runs from the European part of the mainland to Uzbekistan, passing through Kazakhstan and Russia.
2. North South. Here the roads pass through Europe, the Russian Federation, and Turkmenistan, which ultimately allows you to get to Uzbekistan. Or in the opposite direction.
3. Traceka. This is a transport link between Europe and Uzbekistan. Here the cargo flow passes through Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan and Georgia.

It is through these three international corridors that the bulk of imported and exported cargo passes.

In certain situations, a multimodal transportation scheme has its objective advantages. Here, much depends on the specific circumstances, characteristics of the cargo and destinations. It is not always financially profitable to use only railways or road freight transport. Plus, not all localities where goods are delivered have their own airport or a suitable railway station. In this regard, at intermediate stages, the goods are reloaded onto another type of transport (mainly cars), and proceed to their final destination.

Export and delivery schemes to Uzbekistan

When exporting to Uzbekistan, many nuances arise, and often many brokers refuse to provide services. We offer all customs clearance schemes.

1 scheme of customs clearance and transportation to Uzbekistan

You buy goods for your Russian company, send us 3 documents - invoice, contract, waybill. We prepare all of these 3 documents and submit them to customs under our brokerage seal. The cost of the service is 23,000 rubles.

2 scheme of customs clearance and transportation to Uzbekistan

The scheme is that you, as an individual, purchased the cargo and do not want to send it on your own behalf. This product is a commercial batch - 1 car contains 20 tons of auto parts. It is impossible for an individual to register this product, since customs in any case recognizes a large number of goods purchased by one individual as a commercial consignment. Therefore, if an individual goes to customs and asks to fill out a customs declaration or finds a broker, then the customs will refuse both the broker and the individual, since this cargo is a commercial shipment and needs to be sent from the company. And FL has already bought the cargo and doesn’t know what to do next. We help solve this problem.

Very often individuals buy a large batch of goods and contact us. We take this cargo from FL and send it from our company. At the same time, we do not have to buy this product from the seller who sold it to the individual, but we simply take the cargo onto our balance sheet, clear it through customs on our own behalf and send it for export. Not everyone knows how to put these secrets into practice, which is why our service is exclusive. As a rule, persons wishing to export cargo have nothing in their hands except the goods themselves. Therefore, we will accept it on the balance sheet of our company and customs clear it to any individual entrepreneur, legal entity, or individual entrepreneur. We will issue ST-1, coordinate everything with your broker in Uzbekistan, adjust the codes, adjust to the requirements of Uzbek legislation and your cargo will be safely cleared through customs. The cost of this service is 35,000 rubles

3 scheme of customs clearance and delivery to Uzbekistan

Scheme 3 – cases when we offer to buy goods in Russia from our company and sell them abroad. We buy cargo and sell it to an Uzbek company. As a rule, Uzbek companies transfer money to us for the goods, and we ourselves send this money to the supplier/manufacturer in Russia. The transaction goes through our company. We help you arrange the goods.

This scheme is often used when you are an individual, you do not have a company and you need a representative in Russia who can correctly purchase the goods, clear them through customs, act as a foreign trade agent for the purchase and customs clearance of these goods to Uzbekistan, and also carry out transportation if necessary . In this case, we also issue three documents for you - an air waybill (or CMR), an invoice and a CT-1 certificate. The cost of this service is 35,000 rubles

Transportation of goods to Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan is part of the CIS. The country shares borders with countries such as Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan. Mutual trade between the Russian Federation and Uzbekistan is accompanied by some difficulties, the main one of which is geographical location.

Uzbekistan is a state to which several hundred vehicles travel every day:

• Cars
• Aircraft
• Trains

Price

Cost calculation is a rather complex, multi-stage and time-consuming process. Here you should take into account all the nuances that affect the tariff for cargo transportation on the route Moscow - Tashkent, or to other cities of Uzbekistan from the territory of the Russian Federation. To determine the final cost, you should take into account:

• type of cargo;
• cost of goods;
• volume of transported products;
• point of departure;
• destination;
• mode of transport used;
• the need for multimodal transportation;
• preparation of accompanying documentation;
• assistance in customs clearance;
• services for loading and unloading goods at intermediate stages;
• unloading of goods at the destination, etc.

Most large cargo carriers specialize in providing comprehensive services. This is a mutually beneficial solution, since the customer makes minimal effort and only pays for the services. At the same time, the company itself has all the necessary resources, knowledge, experience and well-established cargo transportation schemes. This allows delivery to be carried out according to the agreed conditions with minimal effort and cost.

But there is one important point here. Some freight carriers, operating mainly as private owners or small firms, offer only delivery. Therefore, the customer has to resolve all additional issues, such as customs clearance, independently. To do this, you need to go to customs checkpoints yourself, or separately hire a customs broker. Add to this loading and unloading operations and other additional, but mandatory activities. As a result, this requires a lot of resources, time and effort. In this regard, cooperation with large cargo carriers that regularly operate flights between Uzbekistan and Russia is mutually beneficial.

Cost calculation

Tariffing cargo delivery is not an easy task. Transportation features are taken into account:

• type of cargo transported;
• cost of production;
• place of departure;
• destination;
• type of vehicle;
• preparation of accompanying documentation for the trip;
• services for loading/unloading products.

Customs clearance

According to current rules, when importing or exporting goods from Uzbekistan, the cargo carrier must provide all necessary information about the goods to customs officers. The most important documents are:

• information about the name of goods;
• quantity and weight of exported or imported products;
• confirmation of the cost of the cargo;
• certificates of origin (form CT1);
• compliance codes.

Starting from April 1, 2013, a new rule is in effect according to which, when importing goods into the territory of Uzbekistan, all cargo carriers are required to present export customs declarations confirming the real customs value of the cargo. This makes it possible to determine the customs payments provided for each specific cargo. Also, since 2013, the customs clearance procedure for imported cargo into the territory of Uzbekistan has been reduced to 3 days. The countdown begins from the moment the customs declaration is received by the authorized bodies, as well as on the basis of the presentation of all necessary accompanying documentation.

It is also recommended to trust reliable and trusted transport companies regarding customs clearance issues. Typically, the standard list of services includes full escort of cargo from the place of loading to its destination. This also includes direct assistance in completing all customs procedures.

This approach is mutually beneficial for freight carriers and shippers. At the same time, the sender of the cargo, who is the customer for the service of transporting goods from Russia to Uzbekistan, bears no less responsibility. He is obliged to prepare and submit all necessary information. Moreover, they must be complete and reliable. Entering incorrect or false information into documents entails the imposition of administrative fines and seizure of cargo. And in some cases, if we are talking about smuggled or illegal products, criminal liability is possible.

Freight transportation between Russia and Uzbekistan is a fairly popular destination. The states cooperate closely with each other, which makes it possible to receive goods from Uzbekistan without any problems, or to deliver cargo to a Central Asian state from Russia.

Cargo transportation: algorithm of use

To transport goods, certain conditions must be met:

• determine the type and volume of cargo;
• contact a trusted company that has proven itself in the field of providing cargo transportation in the required directions;
• conclude a cooperation agreement and wait for the order to be completed.

It is necessary to take into account all the rules and requirements of the country to which the cargo is being transported. Otherwise, disagreements may arise and the cargo will not be delivered on time or not at all. In some cases, products will simply not be allowed into the country.

2013 is the date for updating the customs control rules in Uzbekistan. All drivers of vehicles that cross the country's border are required to provide customs officers with documentation for the goods. Documentation should include:

• Export bill of lading. This document must contain information about the cost of the cargo that is imported into Uzbekistan.
• Certificates in form СТ1.
• Coding system according to requirements.
