How to import a Chinese electric car to Tajikistan (2026)

Quick answer

Tajikistan has favoured electric cars: customs says electric vehicle imports worth 1.181 billion somoni were exempt from customs duty in 2025 (Asia-Plus, 2026-03-06). We found no text that sets the 2026 position, so get the rate for your exact car from a licensed customs broker before you pay.

Key facts

Is an electric car tax-free in Tajikistan?

Three reports give different scopes, so treat none as your final figure:

• In 2022 the lower house endorsed amendments exempting electric vehicle imports from taxes and customs duties for ten years (Asia-Plus, 2022-03-16; Khovar, 2022-08-11). We did not find the adoption date.
• A 2025 report limits the VAT and excise exemption to electric cars up to one year old (Central Asian Light, 2025-04-22). A new car fits that wording.
• Customs says electric vehicles were exempt from customs duty in 2025 (Asia-Plus, 2026-03-06). The report mentions no other taxes.

A recycling fee on imported batteries over 30 kg was approved by the lower house in December 2025, and customs says electric car batteries are covered (Asia-Plus, 2025-12-09). Whether it applies to a battery inside an imported car is not stated, so ask your broker.

Models to ask about

China guide prices, not delivered prices.

Route from China

Karasu-Kulma is the direct China-Tajikistan crossing, reported in 2021 as a container route (Asia-Plus, 2021-08-11). We found nothing on car carriers there or on transit through Kyrgyzstan. Your quote names every leg.

How an order works

1. Choose model, version and colour. Ask which charging inlet the export version has: China-market cars use GB/T.
2. Ask a licensed Tajik customs broker who may import the car, which certificates it needs, and what taxes apply to your version.
3. Get a quote from the licensed Chinese export company named in the contract.
4. Sign the contract. Nothing is paid before it is signed, and payment goes only to the company account on the invoice.
5. The exporter declares the car in China and arranges transport. We do not guarantee a delivery date.
6. Your broker clears the car and you pay the taxes assessed.
