Uzbekistan has introduced new import incentives for selected commercial vehicles, creating an important purchasing opportunity for local transport companies planning to renew or expand their truck fleets.
Under Presidential Resolution No. PP-251, eligible cargo vehicles imported into Uzbekistan may benefit from a zero customs duty rate and zero recycling fee until December 31, 2027. The resolution was adopted on July 7, 2026, and entered into force on July 8, 2026.
According to the:
Uzbekistan Ministry of Transport’s official announcement
However, the incentive does not apply to every heavy truck. Buyers must check the vehicle type, production date, emission standard and customs classification before placing an order.
Which Tractor Trucks May Qualify?
According to the official policy information, an imported tractor truck must generally meet the following conditions:
Requirement | Policy condition |
Vehicle age | No more than five years from the year of manufacture |
Emission standard | Euro 5 or higher |
Vehicle category | Eligible tractor trucks under specified HS codes |
Policy period | Until December 31, 2027 |
Import customs duty | 0% |
Recycling fee | 0% |
The listed customs classifications include HS codes 8701 21, 8701 22, 8701 23 and 8701 24. Buyers should confirm the final HS classification with a licensed customs broker before shipment.
For example, a recently manufactured Euro 5 diesel tractor truck may potentially qualify, but eligibility cannot be confirmed by the model name alone. The engine, fuel type, production date and supporting documents must match the declared specification.
Are Dump Trucks Included?
No. The official policy information specifically excludes dump trucks from this incentive.
This means a Euro 5 HOWO dump truck or SHACMAN dump truck should not automatically be described as duty-free under Resolution No. PP-251, even when it is less than five years old.
Buyers should clearly distinguish between:
This distinction is important because the two vehicles normally use different customs classifications.
Documents Buyers Should Check
Before purchasing a Euro 5 tractor truck for Uzbekistan, request documents for the actual vehicle rather than relying only on an online product description.
Important information includes:
VIN and chassis number;
Production date;
Engine model and engine number;
Euro 5 or Euro 6 emission documentation;
Technical specification sheet;
Fuel type;
Certificate of origin;
Commercial invoice;
Proposed HS code.
For used or refurbished trucks, buyers should also request current vehicle photos, a cold-start video, an inspection report and chassis identification images.
A supplier should not advertise a vehicle as “guaranteed duty-free” until its documents and customs classification have been reviewed.
Important Three-Year Restriction
The policy contains measures intended to prevent misuse of the exemption.
When an eligible vehicle is re-exported within three years after customs clearance, the owner may be required to pay the customs duty and recycling fee that were originally exempted.
The exemption may also be withdrawn if modifications change the vehicle’s HS classification, except in certain cases involving conversion to another fuel type.
Buyers should therefore consider their long-term operating plans before importing a vehicle under the incentive.
Tractor Truck Options for Uzbekistan Buyers
Ant Automobile supplies new, used and refurbished tractor trucks from brands including:
Depending on current inventory, potentially suitable options may include recently manufactured Euro 5 tractor trucks with 4×2 or 6×4 drive configurations.
Eligibility must be checked individually. A model such as a HOWO NX, SITRAK C7H or SHACMAN X3000 may be available in several engine and emission configurations, so not every vehicle carrying the same model name will meet the policy conditions.
