How duty is calculated

CIF value

Product cost + international freight + insurance

Import duty (10–20%)

Applied to CIF value. EU, UK, and most countries use CIF.

VAT (12%)

Applied to CIF value + duty. Collected at customs.

Use our Landed Cost Calculator to compute the full cost including freight, brokerage, and last-mile delivery.

Worked example: automotive parts & components worth US$10,000

A commercial shipment invoiced at US$10,000 with US$900 of international freight and insurance. Uzbekistan charges duty on the CIF value (goods + freight + insurance), so the duty base is US$10,900. Customs converts the amount to UZS at the official exchange rate on the day of import.

Charge	At 10%	At 20%
Import duty	$1,090	$2,180
VAT (12%)	$1,439	$1,570
Total paid at the border	$2,529	$3,750

VAT is usually recoverable for a registered business, so the cost that stays with you is the duty. The rate depends on the exact subheading, which is why the example shows both ends of the 10–20% range. Excise, anti-dumping duties and broker fees are not included.

Classifying automotive parts & components correctly

Heading 8708 covers parts and accessories of motor vehicles — bumpers, brakes, gearboxes, axles, wheels, radiators, silencers, clutches and steering parts.

Parts with their own heading elsewhere are excluded: tyres (4011), batteries (8507), spark plugs (8511), lamps (8512), engines (8407/8408), filters (8421)
Seats go to 9401 and glass to 7007
Universal parts of general use (bolts, springs) are classified by material

Compliance. In the US many auto parts carry Section 232 duties; preferential rates under USMCA, CETA and other FTAs need regional value content proof.

Importing into Uzbekistan: what you need

The Customs Committee under the Ministry of Economy and Finance clears imports; duty rates are set by presidential decree on the national tariff, aligned with the CIS commodity nomenclature.

Registration. Registration as a foreign trade participant and an import contract registered in the Unified Electronic Information System of Foreign Trade Operations.

Low-value shipments. Individuals have a duty-free allowance for personal parcels; commercial goods pay duty, excise and VAT from the first som.

Documents customs will ask for

Cargo customs declaration
Registered foreign trade contract
Commercial invoice and packing list
Certificate of origin (ST-1 for CIS free-trade treatment)
Certificate of conformity for goods subject to mandatory certification

Charges on top of duty

VAT 12% on value + duty + excise
Excise on vehicles, alcohol, tobacco and some electronics
Customs clearance fees

Watch out. Goods of CIS origin with an ST-1 certificate usually enter duty-free under the CIS Free Trade Agreement, so origin often matters more than the MFN rate.
