Uzbekistan is preparing a major expansion of its logistics infrastructure, designating several territories as specialised transport and logistics hubs and combining new construction with digital management tools and targeted fiscal incentives.
New logistics hubs planned across Uzbekistan
By the end of 2030, the authorities plan to build new logistics centres and dry ports, expand railway stations, and add customs terminals and parking areas for freight vehicles. The specialised locations will include Khanabad in Andijan Region, Alat District in Bukhara Region, Termez District in Surkhandarya Region, and Yangiyul and Akhangaran districts in Tashkent Region.
Khanabad is set to receive a logistics centre covering 100 hectares, with potential expansion to 300 hectares. In Akhangaran District, the plans call for an A-category dry port of up to 50 hectares.
Digital control and international financing
Terminal and warehouse management systems, together with electronic records of vehicle registration numbers, will be integrated with the E-logistika platform. The system will also collect and analyse data on cargo flows, carriers, logistics centres, border checkpoints and railway stations, supporting the selection of more efficient transport routes.
To finance the construction and modernisation of multifunctional and multimodal logistics centres, Uzbekistan plans to attract at least $200 million in concessional funding from international financial institutions in 2027.
Tax and customs incentives
Eligible logistics centres will be exempt from land tax and property tax until 2040. Until 1 August 2029, selected imported warehousing and loading equipment that has no equivalent manufactured in Uzbekistan will also be exempt from customs duty and mandatory certification.
From 1 November 2026, the customs clearance fee for international courier shipments will be reduced by 20%. Until 31 December 2027, selected imported goods used in vehicle production and lacking domestic equivalents will be exempt from customs duty.
The document was published in Uzbekistan’s National Database of Legislation and entered into force on 14 October 2026.
For international furniture manufacturers, construction companies, interior and exterior suppliers, designers and architecture firms, the programme could improve access to regional distribution routes and reduce the cost of establishing warehouse and transshipment operations in Uzbekistan. The combination of dry ports, expanded rail infrastructure, digital cargo data and time-limited equipment incentives may also make the market more attractive for companies assessing Central Asian supply chains, although the effectiveness of the strategy will depend on the timely delivery of the planned facilities and the practical operation of the new digital and customs systems.
