Import into Tajikistan

Tajikistan’s tariffs are influenced by its membership in the Eurasian Economic Union, which is an economic union of five post-Soviet states located in Eurasia.

Tajikistan’s official trade regime has relatively liberal tariff rates that range between 0 and 15 percent, with the overall trade-weighted import tariff averaging out to around 7 percent.

Tajikistan customs declaration procedures are not complicated. After the imported goods arrive, the import company fills out the “Import Goods Declaration Form” based on the import documents, and attaches invoices, bills of lading and other documents to the customs. The goods and documents are inspected by the customs and released after the corresponding tariffs are paid.

A customs inspector will begin clearing goods by creating a file containing the following documents, which the importer should have ready:

• Importer’s certificate of registration to confirm that it is a legal entity
• The taxpayer identification number – original must be shown during each phase of the clearance process
• Charter (usually not required, but should be ready if requested)
• Incorporation documents (usually not required, but should be ready if requested)
• If equipment from manufacturing plants is being imported as chartered capital, a registered charter and legal statement from the Ministry of Justice should be included
• Copy of the certificate of registration with the State Statistics Committee. Customs agents may request to see the original during each clearance procedure

Road Freight from China to Tajikistan

Tajikistan borders China’s Xinjiang in the east and southeast, with a border line of 430 kilometers. The capital Dushanbe is 1,009 kilometers away from the Chinese border port.

Tajikistan currently has four highway trunk lines, all of which are centered on the capital Dushanbe and radiate to neighboring countries.

• Tajikistan-China Highway. Starting from Dushanbe in the west, passing through Dangara, Kulyab, Khorog, the capital of Badakhshan Province, and ending at the Kulemai Port on the China-Tajikistan border in the east, the total length is 1,002 kilometers.
• Tajikistan-Kyrgyzstan Highway. The Tajikistan-Kyrgyzstan Highway starts from Dushanbe and ends at the northeastern border city of Karamek, with a total length of 368 kilometers. After crossing the border, the line goes directly to Osh, a southern city in Kyrgyzstan, and connects with the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan Highway.
• Tajikistan-Afghanistan Highway. Starting from Dushanbe in the north and ending at the border city of Xiapengchi in the south, the total length is 185 kilometers.
• Tajikistan-Uzbekistan Highway. The northern section of the Tajikistan-Uzbekistan Highway starts from Dushanbe in the south and ends at the border town of Chanak in the north, with a total length of 368 kilometers.

The most efficient way of transporting your goods to Tajikistan is the full truck load. In addition, our vehicles are loaded exclusively with your goods, meaning that no unnecessary delays are caused by transhipments. This is always useful when large amounts of freight are being transported.

On the other hand, if smaller cartons will be transported to Tajikistan than would fit the transports, groupage shipment is the best option. Here, the goods will be taken from a pallet in our strategically located collection centres and transported from there to Tajikistan.

Goods sent from Xinjiang, China to Dushanbe are mainly transported through the Karasu highway port opened by China to Tajikistan. The highway from Urumqi via Kashgar to Dushanbe is 2,600 kilometers long.

The cost of road logistics is high, and due to the constraints of cargo volume and weight, it cannot meet customers’ large-scale transportation needs.

Rail Freight from China to Tajikistan

More than 70% of Tajikistan’s imports and exports are transported by rail. The country is making every effort to promote its digitalization, including the use of electronic waybills in international transport.

Tajikistan has three unconnected railway lines in the north, middle and south, which are connected to the CIS and neighboring countries through neighboring Uzbekistan. The total length of Tajikistan’s railway is 950.7 kilometers, with a useful length of 616.7 kilometers, of which 114 kilometers have exceeded their service life.

After leaving the country from the Alashankou railway port, the international freight train from Xinjiang, China, passed through Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan, and finally arrived in Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan. The entire journey was 3,200 kilometers and took 16 days.

Although railway transportation detours through Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and other countries, it has obvious advantages in terms of transportation volume and transportation costs compared to other modes of transportation.
