Route guide

How cargo reaches Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan is our busiest lane: trucks leave Vilnius for Tashkent every week, and the Kazakh–Uzbek border is one we cross more often than any other.

Road FTL

From Vilnius through Latvia or via Belarus and Russia — depending on what the goods are allowed to transit — across Kazakhstan to the Zhibek Zholy / Gisht Kuprik crossing near Tashkent, then on to Samarkand, Bukhara, Fergana, Andijan, Navoi or Nukus. Full 13.6 m trucks, 24 t / 90–120 m³.

Groupage (LTL)

Our core product. Regular weekly consolidations from Vilnius to Tashkent, with onward distribution to every region. From 1 kg or 0.1 m³ — a pallet leaves without waiting for a full truck and you pay only for the space you use.

Rail

Container and wagon shipments from Lithuanian and Polish terminals to Tashkent, Chukursay or Sergeli via Kazakhstan. Best for heavy, regular volumes: equipment, steel, chemicals, building materials.

Air

Vilnius / Riga / Warsaw → Tashkent, direct or via Istanbul, 1–3 days door to door.

Caspian and Turkey route

For goods barred from Belarus and Russia: Turkey → Georgia → Baku → Turkmenbashi or Aktau → Uzbekistan. Longer, but sanction-safe.

Road FTL9–13 days10–15 days
Groupage LTL11–15 days12–17 days
Rail15–22 days17–24 days
Air1–3 days2–4 days

Uzbekistan is not in the EAEU, so the cargo is cleared twice on land: transit through the EAEU (Kazakhstan) and import at the Uzbek border or the destination customs post. A consignee whose contract, import permits and certificates are ready before the truck arrives saves 2–4 days at Tashkent.

Documents for Uzbekistan

EU side: EX-A export declaration, T1 transit, CMR, packing list, EUR.1 or certificate of origin from the Vilnius Chamber of Commerce on request. Uzbek side: the importer's contract registered in the customs system, invoice, and for regulated goods a conformity certificate (Uzstandart) — food, cosmetics, electrical equipment, toys and building materials most often.

Veterinary and phytosanitary certificates for animal and plant products are issued in Lithuania before departure — our HS code check tells you whether your code needs one. Dual-use and sanctioned goods are screened before we accept the booking.

Pricing: what a quote includes

Groupage is priced per pallet or per cubic metre, full trucks per vehicle. Included: EU export formalities, T1, transit through Kazakhstan. Not included: Uzbek import duties and VAT, certification fees, demurrage if the consignee's paperwork is late. Fixed quote within 24 hours of receiving the packing list and HS codes.

Why INFOBETA on the Uzbekistan lane

Since 2008 Uzbekistan has been the lane we built the company around. Every week 3–6 trucks leave Vilnius for Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, with our own consolidation and paperwork at warehouses in Vilnius. One coordinator from booking to delivery, in Lithuanian, English or Russian.

Sending cargo from Lithuania: what you need to know

Delivery to the warehouse

You bring the cargo to the warehouse in Vilnius; the exact address is sent once the order is confirmed. If you need collection from your address, give it in the enquiry and we will tell you whether we can arrange it.

Export declaration and 0% VAT

INFOBETA lodges the EX-A export declaration in Lithuania. When the goods leave the EU, the IE599 exit confirmation is issued — exporters keep it as evidence for invoicing the export with 0% VAT. EX-A and IE599 step by step.

Certificates in Lithuania

Certificate of origin from the Vilnius Chamber of Commerce; veterinary and phytosanitary certificates are issued in Lithuania before departure (INFOBETA is in the Lithuanian Phytosanitary Register, No. 008763).

FAQ

Uzbekistan freight — common questions

Which cities in Uzbekistan do you deliver to?

We deliver across Uzbekistan — including Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, Karshi, Navoi, Andijan, Fergana, Namangan, Nukus — and to other cities on request, both import and export.

Can goods to Uzbekistan transit through Belarus and Russia?

Most can, some cannot: EU regulations 765/2006 and 833/2014 prohibit transit of listed goods. Enter the HS code in our free checker — it shows whether the Belarus route is open or the cargo must go via the Caspian.

What is the minimum shipment for groupage to Uzbekistan?

From 1 kg or 0.1 m³. Small consignments are consolidated in Vilnius and travel on the weekly Tashkent truck.

Where is import clearance for Uzbekistan done?

At the Uzbek border or the destination customs post — Uzbekistan is not in the EAEU. We prepare the export side in Vilnius and coordinate with the consignee's broker in Tashkent so both sides are ready on the same day.

How long does cargo take from Lithuania to Tashkent?

From Vilnius: groupage 11–15 days, full truck 9–13 days, rail 15–22 days, air 1–3 days door to door. Samarkand and Fergana take 1–2 days longer.

Where do I deliver the cargo in Lithuania?

To the warehouse in Vilnius — the exact address is sent once the order is confirmed. We do not collect in every Lithuanian city; if you need collection, give the address in the enquiry and we will tell you whether it can be arranged.
