Route from Shanghai to Uzbekistan
Port of Loading: Shanghai (Shanghai Port).
Destination: Tashkent (via Bandar Abbas, Iran, then overland) or direct rail/road from China via Alashankou (Khorgos). The most common route for used cars is sea to Bandar Abbas (Iran), then truck to Tashkent.
Transit Time: Sea: 20-25 days to Bandar Abbas. Overland truck: 5-7 days. Total: 25-32 days door-to-door.
Shipping Method: RoRo is cheaper for single vehicles ($800-$1,200 per unit). Container (20ft or 40ft) is recommended for multiple vehicles or if the car has accessories. A 40ft container can hold 2 Prados. Container cost: $2,500-$3,500.
Duty and Taxes at Uzbekistan Destination
Uzbekistan imposes the following import duties on used vehicles (as of 2026):
- Customs Duty: 30% of CIF value (for vehicles under 3 years old; older vehicles may have higher rates).
- VAT: 12% of (CIF + customs duty).
- Excise Tax: Varies by engine size. For 2.7L: ~$0.50 per cc; for 4.0L: ~$1.00 per cc. Example: 4.0L engine excise = 4,000 cc × $1.00 = $4,000.
- Customs Clearance Fee: ~$200-$500.
Example calculation for a 2022 TXL 2.7L (CIF $30,000):
- Customs Duty: $30,000 × 30% = $9,000
- VAT: ($30,000 + $9,000) × 12% = $4,680
- Excise Tax (2,700 cc × $0.50): $1,350
- Total taxes: ~$15,030
These are estimates; actual rates may vary. GoldenLane Auto can assist with customs brokers in Uzbekistan.
