Starting in 2025, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan will adopt a reciprocal system for collecting fees and charges on freight transportation.

According to Uzbekistan’s Ministry of Transport, this agreement was reached during a working meeting between transport officials from Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan held on Tuesday in Bukhara.

Additionally, both sides agreed to implement an electronic permit exchange system, or E-permit, to simplify and expedite the permit acquisition process for transporters.

Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan will also establish an interdepartmental working group to address emerging issues in freight transport efficiently.
