The implementation of a digital customs system in Uzbekistan has reduced the average cargo processing time at the border from 3 hours to just 30 minutes. Launched in early 2024, the system includes interfaces for inspectors, warehouse workers, and cargo owners or carriers.

The system allows pre-submission of cargo data and uses a risk management algorithm to decide whether an officer’s inspection is needed. As a result, many goods are cleared without direct inspector involvement, and owners can track clearance progress in real time.
