Export new cars to Tajikistan from Dubai

Tajikistan is a World Trade Organization member with a relatively liberal tariff regime. Per Trade.gov, Tajikistan's official tariff rates range between zero and fifteen percent, with a trade-weighted average around seven percent. As a brand-new vehicle importer, you will face a standard import duty calculated on the vehicle's customs value, plus a VAT component. The country's VAT standard rate is fifteen percent for most transactions, though Trade.gov notes that as of January 2024, non-cash transactions are taxed at fourteen percent through 2026, with further adjustments planned for 2027.

Duty and Tax Framework

Your total landed cost will include the applicable MFN duty rate (determined by the vehicle's tariff classification and engine specifications), plus VAT on the dutiable value. Trade.gov advises using the Customs Info Database tariff look-up tool (available on trade.gov with free registration) to estimate your specific duties and taxes before shipment. Tajikistan's customs administration generally complies with WTO requirements, though the country does employ its own evaluation methodology for customs valuation purposes.

Documentation and Customs Process

Tajikistan operates under the Tajik Customs Code and the Agreement on Rules of Goods Transit. Standard import documentation will be required at port of entry. Because duty rates and VAT treatment can vary based on engine size, fuel type, and whether payment is made in cash or non-cash form, you should confirm your exact obligations with Tajikistan's customs authority before shipping your vehicle. Verify with the destination's customs authority before shipping — duty rates vary by engine size, fuel type, and buyer category.
