How Much Does It Cost To Ship A Container To Tajikistan?
Tajikistan Container Shipping Cost
You want to ship items to another country and you have no idea what the cost will look like or what will affect it. For a start, the size of the shipment and the distance to the destination will affect the cost of shipping. There are other things to consider but know that Three Movers ships items to Tajikistan.

Factors That Affect the Cost Of Shipping To Tajikistan
As mentioned, the following are the factors that affect the cost of shipping. They are:
- The volume and weight of the items to be shipped: Volume and weight will affect the cost of shipping. These two are directly proportional to the shipping cost. This means an increase in either will cause an increase in the cost.
- The type of transportation used: Riding a bicycle and driving the car isn’t the same. This applies to shipping as well. The type of transportation selected will affect the cost of shipping.
- Distance: How far the cargo has to travel will affect the cost of shipping.
- The destination port: Ports don’t have uniform tariffs in most cases, so this can affect the cost of shipping.
- Peak Shipping Season: The peak shipping period in Tajikistan is between January and February because of the Chinese New Year. If you ship your items during this time of the year, you might pay higher rates.
Which Size of Shipping Container Works Best for Me?
If you plan on moving all you own, and all of it is in a three-bedroom flat or smaller, you can use a 20ft container. If you need to move more, like a five-bedroom mansion or two cars, you should use a 40ft container.
If a client’s items fill a container, the load is called a Full Container Load (FCL). If the cargo doesn’t fill a container, it is called Less Than Container Load (LCL).

Understanding The Different Types of Freight Transportation
The type of transportation used is dependent on many factors, including the presence or absence of a seaport. In the case of Tajikistan, there is no actual seaport as it is landlocked. Therefore, land transportation is inevitable for all items shipped by sea. This is because the cargo will be dropped at a neighboring country’s seaport and then transported into the destination country by land. This affects the balance of cost because the high demand for land transportation can make it very expensive.
If you are moving very large cargo, there is little option. Sea freight transportation is the best choice. Note that the cost of transportation by sea might include fees for transporting the cargo into the country by land.
Air transportation isn’t affected by the country being landlocked and operations are similar to any other country. This method of transportation is suitable for time-sensitive items. It is also good for temperature-sensitive items or other fragile items. It might be more expensive than other means of transportation. This is important to keep in mind.
Additional Shipping Costs
Some costs aren’t directly from the moving company. They are termed additional costs and they are:
- General Rate Increase (GRI). With increased shipping to the area, shipping rates may increase.
- Custom fees. Tariffs in Tajikistan range from 0-15% and the average cost is 7.5%. All these tariffs are percentages of the value of the goods and that will add to the shipping costs.
- Inspection. If your goods are inspected by the officers at the port, extra costs might be incurred.
- Desired delivery time. Sometimes you need your items to arrive as quickly as possible. In that instance, you might have to pay an extra premium for quick shipping.
- Insurance. Your cargo might need insurance and that will add to the total cost of shipping.
