THIRD-COUNTRY TRADE - WITHOUT IMPORTING GOODS INTO UZBEKISTAN

  • Model: foreign seller -> Uzbek resident/RANDARA -> foreign buyer in another country; goods may ship directly from seller country to buyer country.
  • The purchase contract and realization contract are monitored in E-kontrakt as interconnected contracts.
  • Purchase evidence relies on the export declaration of the dispatch country and transport/commercial documents; realization evidence relies on the destination-country import declaration and transport documents.
  • Current 2026 rules apply 180-day monitoring periods for purchase evidence/refund and realization proceeds; realization proceeds must not be lower than the amount paid under the purchase contract.
  • Shipper/consignee information must be mutually consistent, and goods subject to prohibitions/restrictions cannot be used in this model.
  • Payments must be tied to a genuine commercial transaction supported by contracts, invoices, transport and other evidence.

18 · Procurement/Purchase contract

An Uzbek resident buys goods from a non-resident without importing them into Uzbekistan, or while they move in transit. It is monitored together with the related realization contract.

19 · Realization/Resale contract

Sale to another non-resident of goods acquired under a purchase contract. Evidence of goods movement, the destination-country import declaration, transport documents and proceeds timing are critical.

INTERNATIONAL CORPORATE & TRADE STRUCTURING

  • Analysis of genuine trade chains involving companies in multiple jurisdictions: seller, buyer, intermediary, shipper, consignee, payer and beneficiary roles.
  • Onshore, low-tax or offshore jurisdiction is not the objective; the core requirements are transparency, economic substance, tax/bank compliance and beneficial ownership.
  • The contract, goods flow and payment flow must be mutually consistent.
  • Risk screening of jurisdiction, bank, counterparty, beneficiary, goods and end user.
  • No services are provided for concealing beneficial ownership or the origin of goods/funds, fictitious invoicing, sanctions circumvention or evasion of mandatory restrictions.
