Sign inHow customs clearance is calculated
- Customs value is the minimum value of the model and production year in US dollars, converted to somoni at the NBT rate.
- Customs duty is 10% of the customs value. Makes from free-trade-zone countries (Lada, Ravon, UAZ, VAZ) pay no duty.
- Excise is the larger of 14% of value plus duty, or €0.15 per cm³ of engine displacement.
- VAT is 14% of value, duty and excise combined.
- Customs processing is a fixed fee by vehicle value: up to $5,000 — $10; up to $10,000 — $20; up to $50,000 — $70; up to $100,000 — $150; above — $450.
- Recycling fee is 144 × 78 TJS (calculation index) = 11,232 TJS.
- EV under 12 full months: only processing and recycling fee. A vehicle under one year imported by a legal entity: duty, excise and VAT rates are multiplied by 0.5.
