How Much Does It Cost Of Shipping A Container To Uzbekistan?
There are a lot of things that come into shipping internationally. Thinking about it sure can get overwhelming. With that in mind, Three Movers is ready to assist you in making every decision-making easy and breezy. You have us to guide you from the start to the finish of your hauling process. Our team of experts will make sure that every step is stress-free for you.
With international shipments, there are a few main factors to consider. These are:
- The volume/weight of the items to be shipped: Sea freight transportation considers volume either large or small packages. The more you want to ship, the higher the cost. The same applies to air freight, using weight as the means of measure.
- The type of transport: If your transport doesn’t need to arrive in an instant to the port of destination, sea freight transportation is a good option. It is about five times cheaper than the air freight option. If you chose the air freight option, expect your shipment to arrive in a few days but it will cost higher. Land transportation is another option, however, it is only available to destinations that are connected by land from the point of origin.
- Distance: The farther the shipment will be from the port of departure, the higher the cost.
- The destination port: Port fees can vary depending on the port you choose. Uzbekistan is land-locked with some of its ports utilizing the river that runs through the country. There are a sizable amount of ports in the country.
- Peak season: Relocation within the peak season will affect the total cost. Peak season, as of 2021, is between August to October. During this period, people are getting ready for the back-to-school and holiday seasons.

It is recommended that you select Full Cargo Load if you are sending multiple or oversized packages. (FCL). A reasonable-sized container will be available for your usage.
Understanding the Different Types of Freight Transportation
Since you are shifting, you can use two modes of transportation: sea and air.
Sea freight transportation is significantly slower than all other options. However, shipments using this option experience more leniency when it comes to weight since this option considers volume. This is also cheaper than using a cargo plane.
Air freight transportation is the fastest option. It can ship your cargo within a few days in most cases. For various reasons, this option costs higher than utilizing sea freight transportation.
Additional Costs
International hauling can have some additional transport costs. They are:
- Custom duties
- Container inspection fees
- VAT
- Inland delivery charges
- Insurance
- Quarantine Fees
Custom Duty charges differ per country. In Uzbekistan, charges for imported goods range from 0 to more than a hundred percent but the average rate falls at around 20 percent.
