Uzbekistan Dispatches Commissioners to Key Global Hubs
Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan is moving into an active phase of "customs diplomacy." For the first time in the country's history, official representatives of the Customs Committee have begun operations at embassies in Turkey, Belgium, China, and Kazakhstan. This strategic move aims to provide direct support to national businesses and eliminate bureaucratic barriers along key trade routes.
The expansion of the customs authority's geographic presence was made possible by a presidential decree dated December 17, 2025. The reform is targeted at radically simplifying foreign trade operations and enhancing the efficiency of customs administration. Uzbek entrepreneurs facing difficulties with cargo clearance abroad can now rely on the prompt assistance of official advisors.
Experienced specialists have been appointed to the positions of customs advisors: Komila Alijonova (Turkey), Lazizbek Atoev (Belgium), Komil Kadyrov (China), and Sanzharbek Sabirov (Kazakhstan). The choice of countries is deliberate: these are major trading partners and logistics hubs through which the primary flows of Uzbek exports and imports pass.
The representatives' responsibilities include not only resolving current logistical disputes but also establishing high-tech data exchange with foreign counterparts. A significant part of their work will involve cooperation with the World Customs Organization (WCO) and participation in international negotiations. Essentially, Uzbekistan is creating a protective mechanism for its exporters directly at the intersections of trade interests, which is expected to significantly reduce cargo delivery times and minimize financial costs for businesses.
