Only a few days remain until July 1, yet many foreign brands and sellers in Uzbekistan still do not fully understand how to legally stop freezing millions at customs.
Presidential Resolution PP-136 launches the long-awaited experiment with bonded warehouses, but the market still seems to underestimate the scale of this shift.
The rules of the game are changing completely. Previously, to import a batch of goods for e-commerce, businesses had to clear the entire shipment at the entry point, pulling money out of circulation and going through every layer of certification.
From July 1, the model becomes truly closer to the European approach. Here are the 3 key advantages that can radically change the profitability of digital trade:
1) Customs AFTER purchase, not BEFORE
Goods are imported into the country and stored in a bonded warehouse under a non-taxable status. No duties and no VAT paid in advance. Once a customer clicks “buy” on a marketplace and pays for the order, only then is the customs payment charged. The brand pays taxes only for what is actually sold.
2) Major simplification of control
If goods are imported into a bonded warehouse for further sale to individuals through online platforms, certificates of conformity, sanitary-epidemiological conclusions, and veterinary permits are not required at the entry stage. This saves weeks of bureaucracy and millions of soums at the start.
3) Reduced rates
As part of the experiment, fixed and highly attractive unified rates are introduced for e-commerce: for example, only 5% for household appliances and gadgets, and 3% for clothing. For cross-border trade, this is a powerful boost.
But there is one important detail.
A bonded warehouse is not just a “box with walls.” It is a complex IT-integrated infrastructure where the warehouse WMS system must communicate in real time with customs databases and marketplace accounts in order to instantly process clearance at the moment of purchase.
We started preparing our customs and warehouse hubs for this trend long before the resolution was published.
Today, we are deploying and testing the infrastructure of bonded zones so that from July 1, our partners can launch sales immediately, without operational failures. In a market where Class A warehouse vacancy remains around 1%, the winner will be the one who reserves ready bonded infrastructure today.
