We primarily serve trading companies, manufacturers, and established freight operators moving commercial FCL and FTL volumes from Turkish factories and ports to Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, and other Uzbek destinations. Typical shipments include Turkish textiles, food commodities (sugar, grain, flour), machinery, building materials, and consumer goods.

The traditional Turkey–Uzbekistan road route transits Iran and Turkmenistan. A growing alternative is the Baku–Tbilisi–Kars (BTK) railway corridor, which connects Turkey to Azerbaijan via Georgia — bypassing Iran entirely. Combined with the Trans-Caspian ferry and Uzbek rail, this forms the Middle Corridor (Trans-Caspian International Transport Route / TITR).
| Route | Key Waypoints | Transit Time | Key Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Road via Iran & Turkmenistan | Mersin → Gürbulak → Tehran → Sarakhs → Gaudan → Tashkent | 14–20 days | Most cost-effective; established lanes |
| BTK Rail + Caspian Ferry | Istanbul → Kars (BTK) → Tbilisi → Baku → Aktau/Turkmenbashi (ferry) → Tashkent | 18–25 days | Iran-free; avoids sanctions exposure; growing capacity |
| Mersin Sea + Road (via Georgia) | Mersin → Poti/Batumi (sea) → Baku → Caspian ferry → Uzbekistan | 20–28 days | Flexible; suitable for heavy/oversized loads |
Delta Global operates on both the Iran corridor and the BTK Middle Corridor. For clients with sanctions-sensitive cargo or buyers requiring Iran-free routing, we recommend the BTK alternative. Ask us for a comparative quote.
TIR Carnet — How Transit Customs Work on the Turkey–Uzbekistan Road Route
All truck freight moving from Turkey through Iran and Turkmenistan to Uzbekistan travels under a TIR Carnet — the international customs transit document administered by the IRU (International Road Transport Union). Without a valid TIR Carnet, trucks cannot legally transit Iran or Turkmenistan without posting large duty deposits at each border.
Single Guarantee, Multiple Borders
One TIR Carnet covers the full transit — Turkey export, Iran transit, Turkmenistan transit — under a single IRU-backed customs guarantee.
Sealed Containers
Once sealed under TIR, customs officials at intermediate borders do not physically inspect the cargo — only the seals and Carnet booklet are checked, speeding up border crossings.
Delta Global Arranges TIR
TIR Carnet issuance through Turkish transport associations (UND) is handled by Delta Global as part of the standard Turkey–Uzbekistan shipment process. No separate action required from shippers.
The TIR Carnet covers transit only. Uzbekistan import customs duties and formal entry are the responsibility of the Uzbek consignee and their licensed customs broker at the point of entry.
Uzbekistan Import Customs — What the Consignee Needs to Prepare
Uzbekistan is not a member of the EAEU, meaning it operates its own independent customs tariff and import rules. The State Customs Committee of Uzbekistan (STC) oversees all import declarations. The following applies at the point of entry (Gaudan border crossing or other designated entry points).
- Customs Declaration (TD-6) — Filed electronically through the Single Window portal by a licensed Uzbek customs broker. Required for all commercial imports above USD 200 CIF value.
- Import Duties — Uzbekistan’s customs tariff is generally 0–30%, varying by HS code. Basic raw materials, industrial equipment, and agricultural inputs often attract 0–5%; consumer goods and textiles may attract 10–30%.
- VAT — 12% VAT applies on the customs value plus duty. VAT-registered businesses can recover this against output VAT.
- Excise Tax — Applies to specific categories including alcohol, tobacco, petroleum, and certain vehicles.
- Certificate of Conformity (Sertifikat Sootvetstviya) — Required for many regulated product categories including electronics, electrical equipment, construction materials, and food products. Must be obtained before customs release.
- Phytosanitary / Veterinary Certificates — Required for plant-based and animal-based products respectively.
Delta Global delivers cargo to the Uzbekistan border (door-to-port). All Uzbekistan customs formalities, duty payments, and inland delivery are coordinated by the consignee or their appointed Uzbek customs broker. We provide complete UAE-side export documentation to ensure a smooth handover.
