Abstract
This article analyzes the current state of customs mechanisms used in regulating foreign trade activities in Uzbekistan. Within the research framework, tariff and non-tariff regulatory instruments, dynamics of customs payments, changes in tariff rates, customs clearance times, and the system of customs privileges are examined. Based on statistical data for 2020–2025, arithmetic mean and weighted average tariff rates are calculated, and import and export price indices are analyzed. Additionally, directions for improving customs administration based on the latest regulatory and legal acts adopted in 2025–2026 are highlighted. According to the research findings, customs clearance times have significantly decreased in recent years (from 15.4 days to 5.5 days for imports), tariff rates have been optimized; however, the share of high-technology products in the export structure remains low.
