How much does it cost to ship cargo to Tashkent in 2026: guide prices and what changes them
"How much will it cost?" is the first question in every enquiry, and we usually answer it within a few hours. But for the answer to be accurate, it helps to understand what the price is made of. This article gives our 2026 guide prices for cargo from Lithuania and other EU countries to Tashkent and other Uzbek cities, and lists the factors that push the price up or down.
Guide prices by mode of transport
Groupage (LTL). Guide price from €200 per pallet. We accept consignments from 1 kg and 0.1 m³. Cargo leaves our warehouse near Vilnius every other day, transit time is 8–14 days. This is the most rational option for consignments of one to roughly ten pallets.
Full truck load (FTL). Guide price from €180 per tonne; a truck takes up to 24 t and 120 m³. When a consignment approaches full volume, a full truck usually costs less than the same pallets shipped separately, and there is no waiting for consolidation. Loading anywhere in Europe within 24 hours of cargo readiness.
Air freight. From €1 per kilogram, delivery in 1–3 days. Pays off for compact, high-value cargo: spare parts for a stopped line, electronics, medical goods. Above roughly 300 kg it is worth comparing with road groupage.
Rail. Price on request, transit 12–18 days. Rail takes over where road limits end – cargo above 24 t or 120 m³, wagon groups and 20′, 40′, 40HC containers.
Warehousing in Vilnius. From €0.18 per pallet per day; for regular clients the first 1–3 days are free, which is usually enough while the consignment is consolidated.
What increases the price
Route. The shortest and cheapest way to Tashkent runs through Belarus and Russia. If the HS code of the goods falls under the EU sanctions annexes, what remains is the route via Latvia (adds 1–2 days) or the Caspian route through Turkey, Georgia and Azerbaijan – 18–28 days and considerably more expensive. That is why every quote starts with an HS code check: the code decides which route is open at all.
Nature of the cargo. Dangerous goods (ADR) need a suitably equipped carrier and documents, perishables need temperature control, oversized cargo needs permits and sometimes escort. Each of these changes both the price and the lead time.
Documents and certificates. The EX-A export declaration and T1 transit are a standard part of the service. A certificate of origin (COO), phytosanitary or veterinary certificate may be needed in addition – issuing takes up to 5 working days and is priced separately. The same HS check shows whether your goods need one.
Season and border queues. Before year end and around major holidays there is more cargo, fewer trucks and longer queues at border posts. If the deadline matters, it is better to book a week or two ahead.
What reduces the price
Fully loaded pallets of standard height, correctly packed and labelled goods, documents prepared in advance and a flexible loading date – all of this lets us put the cargo on the next departing truck without extra work in the warehouse. Regular clients get free storage and stable terms, because a regular flow is simpler to plan.
What to send for an accurate quote first time
One email with the following is enough: loading address and cargo readiness date; number of pallets or dimensions and weight; description of goods and HS code; destination city in Uzbekistan; whether the cargo is ADR, perishable or oversized. If you do not know the HS code, send a description of the goods and we will select it together. You normally receive the price and lead time the same working day.
