Uzbekistan transitions electronic permit system for cargo routes to China based on requests

Uzbekistan has changed the electronic permit system for international road freight transport between Uzbekistan and China, switching to a request-based issuance model.

The Ministry of Transport of Uzbekistan recommended that national carriers apply for permits only when they have a specific planned shipment and a real need for the document.

The Ministry warned that obtaining permits without a justified need, including keeping them 'in reserve,' leads to unjustified use of the established quota and may limit opportunities for other carriers.

When applying, carriers must accurately specify the border crossing points through which they plan to enter China and leave the country. After receiving the permit, carriers must comply with current freight transport regulations, follow the declared route, and meet requirements regarding stay in China.

Any violations committed by carriers in Uzbekistan or China will be recorded by the relevant inspection services. Upon detection of a violation, the system will automatically restrict the carrier's ability to obtain subsequent electronic permits.

Furthermore, the ministry warned about possible technical glitches during the implementation of the updated system. In case of technical problems, carriers must immediately report this, providing the company name, vehicle state registration number, or application number. This information will help specialists determine the cause of the error and eliminate it.

Uzbekistan updates reporting rules for enterprises according to new legislation

Uzbekistan has made changes to the accounting and reporting rules for commercial entities. These changes are enshrined in Law No. ZRU-1168, which was signed on August 17, 2026, and officially published on the Lex.uz portal.

Reporting Requirements

The revised Article 17 of the Law 'On Guarantees of Freedom of Entrepreneurial Activity' stipulates that business entities are obliged to maintain records and prepare reports in accordance with current legislation. Furthermore, all reports must be submitted exclusively in electronic form through specialized information systems.

To confirm electronic reports, the use of an electronic digital signature is required. The state undertakes the obligation to provide entrepreneurs with accounting software either free of charge or on preferential terms.

Differences in Reporting for Different Business Types

Small enterprises must submit the established reporting forms only to state statistical bodies and tax services. As for individual entrepreneurs, they are obliged to provide reports exclusively to state tax authorities.

New Restrictions for State Bodies

According to the updated rules, a unified list of data for reporting and statistics that companies must provide to state structures will be approved by the President of Uzbekistan. State agencies are prohibited from demanding any information or reports that are not included in this approved list.

Additionally, the new provisions prohibit repeated requests for information, preventing state bodies from demanding statistical data or reports that have already been submitted previously. Data and statistics exchange between state bodies must be carried out through electronic information systems, which guarantees the reuse of data provided by businesses in various state structures without the need for duplication of submission by entrepreneurs.

MVD proposes introducing electronic format for issuing traffic violations in Uzbekistan

The Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) has put forward a proposal to amend the procedure for documenting traffic violations in Uzbekistan. The main idea is to convert several procedures into an electronic format and introduce new requirements for inspector work.

The proposed draft document has been published for public discussion. According to this project, when issuing an electronic protocol, the interaction between the inspector and the participants of the incident will be automatically recorded via audio recording, which can subsequently serve as evidence.

Furthermore, photo, video, and audio recordings made with mobile phones are permitted for documenting the offense. The changes also affect the process of detaining vehicles. When towing a car, the inspector will be obliged to create an electronic act in the 'Jarima maydoni' system, and the return of the vehicle after the grounds for detention are eliminated will be based on an electronic permit record.

A significant change will be the prohibition of accepting fines payments immediately at the time of committing the violation. Drivers will be given the opportunity to pay the fine through various electronic channels, including mobile applications, banking services, the Unified Portal of Interactive Government Services, or other electronic payment systems.

This new instruction is intended to replace a number of existing departmental documents. However, it should be noted that currently, this is only a draft, and the new rules will come into effect only after their official approval and publication.
