A total of 68,684 cars were brought into the country during this period. In the autumn months alone, approximately 20,600 vehicles valued at $206 million were imported. These figures are comparable to 2023, when around 73,000 foreign-made cars entered the market.
Electric vehicles accounted for a notable portion of the imports, with 22,200 units purchased at a total cost of $215.3 million, representing about 18% of the overall expenditure.
China remains the dominant supplier of vehicles to Uzbekistan, exporting 55,700 cars, which comprised 81% of total imports. This included nearly the entire electric vehicle shipment—22,100 units.
South Korea ranked second, providing 11,200 vehicles, followed by the United States, which contributed 633 cars. India and Japan supplied 577 and 152 vehicles, respectively.
In the electric vehicle category, Kazakhstan was the second-largest supplier after China, delivering 51 units. Other notable contributors included Hong Kong (17 units) and Germany (14 units).
Changes in vehicle inspection regulations
On November 1, Uzbekistan introduced a new procedure for inspecting imported cars. Instead of undergoing checks at customs, vehicles are now tested at the UzTest automotive proving ground in Pskent.
The change initially resulted in long queues, with some drivers reporting waits of several days. UzTest attributed the delays to "seasonal factors and increased import volumes." To address the issue, an electronic queue system with QR-code issuance via the Single Portal of Government Services platform was implemented on November 18.
