Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) — Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev signed a decree setting the limit for undeclared cash foreign currency exports by individuals at an equivalent of US$10,000, according to official documents released from Presidential Decree UP-174 dated 27 August 2026.
The directive, titled "On measures to improve the activities of state customs service bodies and introduce modern approaches to customs administration," requires the new rule to be implemented by December 2027. The State Customs Committee, the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the Central Bank, and the Ministry of Justice have been tasked with overseeing the execution of the measure.
In addition, the decree allows Uzbek citizens to temporarily import foreign-registered vehicles into the country for non-commercial purposes by December 2027, provided that customs duties are guaranteed. Implementation of the vehicle import initiative has been assigned to the State Customs Committee and the Ministry of Justice.
The regulatory changes are being introduced as part of the "Customs of New Uzbekistan – 2030" strategy for 2026–2030, which was approved under the same presidential decree to simplify customs procedures for both individuals and corporate entities.
