Search for an item in English, Uzbek or Russian. Each rule says who sets it: Uzbek customs, the airline, UK sanctions or us.
Allowed only in small amounts, or with a certificate or permit.
Medicines need a Ministry of Health permit in Uzbekistan, and customs often holds parcels that contain them. Send only small personal amounts in the original sealed packs with a copy of the prescription, and tell us before you pack. Strong painkillers and sleeping pills may count as narcotics.
Uzbek customs allows up to 10 different supplements per person, one pack of each and no more than 3 kg in total. More than that is treated as commercial. Keep them in the original sealed packs and list each one on the declaration.
Medical devices such as glucose meters, test strips, syringes and hearing aids can need a permit. A single device for personal use is usually fine; tell us in advance and keep the receipt.
Uzbek customs allows up to 3 bottles per person, 300 ml in total. Perfume is also a flammable liquid on aircraft, so it can only fly in small amounts in the original sealed box. Tell us before you send it and we will confirm what can go on the next flight.
A phone only works on Uzbek networks after its IMEI is registered and the fee is paid, which the recipient does via uzimei.uz or my.gov.uz. Several phones in one parcel or month look commercial. Tell us in advance and include the phone in the declaration with its real value.
Plant products need a phytosanitary certificate to enter Uzbekistan, which private senders cannot get for a parcel. Without it they are destroyed at customs. Buy seeds and seedlings locally instead.
Animal products need a veterinary certificate to enter Uzbekistan, and customs destroys them without one. They also spoil during the journey. Send sweets, tea or other shelf-stable food in shop packaging instead.
These are animal products and need a veterinary certificate. Factory-sealed baby formula for personal use is usually accepted; ask us before sending it. Leave cheese, butter, eggs and honey out.
Pet food contains animal products, so it falls under the same veterinary rules as meat. It is usually cheaper to buy the same brands in Uzbekistan.
Cash in parcels is not insured and has to be declared to customs, so we do not accept it. Use a bank transfer or a money-transfer service to send money to Uzbekistan.
A few personal pieces can be declared at their real value, but jewellery in commercial quantities needs import permits and assay checks. Bullion and loose precious stones are not accepted. Declare every piece and add insurance.
Radio-electronic and high-frequency devices need a permit to be imported into Uzbekistan, and signal jammers are not allowed at all. Ordinary phones, Wi-Fi routers and Bluetooth headphones are fine.
Antiques, old manuscripts, collectible coins and artworks count as cultural valuables and need an expert certificate. Send modern reproductions or ask us about the paperwork first.
Many identical items, repeat shipments of the same goods or goods that do not fit the recipient are treated as commercial by Uzbek customs. They lose the $200 monthly allowance and need full import clearance. Use our commercial service for these.
