Uzbekistan Air Freight from China: routing and transit
Air Freight into Uzbekistan runs through TAS (Tashkent), SKD (Samarkand). Clearance is by State Customs Committee of Uzbekistan and typical dwell before release is 4–10 days.
Uzbekistan is double-landlocked, so every routing involves at least one transit country. The established path is rail through Kazakhstan; the shorter but rougher alternative is road through Kyrgyzstan on the China–Kyrgyzstan–Uzbekistan corridor via Irkeshtam. The planned CKU railway would change this materially, but today rail-via-Kazakhstan remains the dependable option.

- Label every carton with destination, carton number, and total count (e.g. 3/12).
- Compare volumetric weight (L×W×H÷6000) with actual weight — the higher one is billed.
- Book 2-3 days before your target ETD; same-day air bookings usually carry premium rates.
