Tajikistan Air Freight from China: routing and transit
We move door-to-door air freight from South China into Tajikistan. Cargo enters through DYU (Dushanbe), LBD (Khujand) and clears with Customs Service under the Government of Tajikistan, which takes 5–12 days on average.
The Kulma Pass from Tashkurgan is the only direct China–Tajikistan land crossing, and at over 4,000 metres it closes for parts of the winter. Most year-round volume therefore routes by rail through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, which means two transit customs regimes and a longer schedule.
