Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) — Starting from 1 March 2026, the Kazakh pipeline company JSC KazTransOil will increase tariffs for the transit of Russian oil through Kazakhstan to Uzbekistan.

According to an order issued by the company’s CEO, the transportation cost will be set at US$28.02 per ton of oil (excluding VAT), an increase of US$0.12, or 0.4%, compared to the previous rate.

In addition, the tariff for loading oil into railway tank cars at the Shagyr oil loading facility will also rise. The new rate will be US$0.96 per ton (excluding VAT), up US$0.12, or 14%, from the prior price.

The tariff adjustments reflect the current dynamics in transport service costs and will affect calculations for the transit of Russian energy resources to Uzbekistan.
