Import and Export Contract Registration in Uzbekistan

If your company in Uzbekistan enters into import or export contracts, certain information about foreign trade contracts, invoices, acts of completed works/services, and amendments may need to be entered into the electronic foreign trade operations system — E-Contract.

This requirement applies to business entities engaged in foreign trade operations in Uzbekistan, except for self-employed individuals in cases provided by law. The system is used for monitoring foreign trade transactions, currency control, banking procedures, customs clearance, and proper documentation of import and export operations.

Legal Force provides practical assistance with the registration and maintenance of foreign trade contract information in the E-Contract system.

What we can help with

We can assist with:

• registration of foreign trade contracts in the E-Contract system;
• obtaining the contract identification number;
• entering information on invoices, specifications, acts of completed works/services and delivery terms;
• registration of amendments and additions to contract terms;
• review of contracts and invoices for compliance with minimum formal requirements;
• consulting on the correct preparation of foreign trade documentation.

Why this matters

Correct registration of foreign trade contracts helps companies avoid delays with payments, banking procedures, customs clearance, currency control and further reporting.

For foreign investors and companies working with Uzbek counterparties, this process is especially important because even a properly signed contract may require additional electronic registration before it can be fully used for import, export, payment or reporting purposes in Uzbekistan.
