Uzbekistan Sets Measures to Develop Transport-Logistics System

Uzbekistan has approved additional measures to develop its transport-logistics system under Presidential Decree PQ–368, dated 12 October 2026. For 2026–2030, the goal is to lift the annual capacity of transport-logistics centres to at least 40 million tonnes, raise exports of transport and logistics services to $3.5 billion, and increase transit cargo through Uzbekistan to 18.5 million tonnes.

The number of international dry ports meeting all requirements will rise from 24 to 30, and border crossing and container handling capacity will be doubled. Khonobod in Andijan region, Olot district in Bukhara region, Termiz district in Surkhandarya region, and Yangiyo'l and Ohangaron districts in Tashkent region will specialise in transport-logistics. Centres will adopt TOS and WMS systems and connect to the Transport Ministry's E-logistics platform by the end of 2030.

To be fully exempt from land and property tax until 2040, centres must be included in the ESKATO dry ports agreement, implement the required management systems, and hold a BB or higher rating on the E-logistics platform. For centres in the registry, warehouse equipment, loading machinery, aggregates and spare parts not produced in the country will be exempt from customs duty and mandatory certification until 1 August 2029.
