Chemicals shipped to Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan's chemical buyers are focused on pharmaceuticals, agriculture and resources. The government promotes local pharmaceutical manufacturing in free economic zones, so producers in Tashkent and the Fergana Valley buy APIs, pharmaceutical intermediates and lab reagents. Navoi and Chirchiq run fertiliser and chemical plants, Almalyk processes copper and gold, and cotton and textile processing, natural gas chemicals and food production add demand for specialty chemicals and solvents. As a double-landlocked country, Uzbekistan receives sea cargo by rail. Zemixal ships from Nhava Sheva or Mundra via Poti, Aktau or Lianyungang with rail onward, for total transit of about 40 to 55 days. Air cargo to Tashkent or Navoi usually takes 3 to 5 days. Each lot is supplied with a COA and a 16-section GHS SDS.

Importing chemicals into Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan requires conformity assessment for many imported products, and chemicals commonly need Uzbek or Russian labelling and SDS, arranged by the importer. Some hazardous substances need additional permits. Pharmaceutical substances are overseen by the Center for Safety of Pharmaceutical Products under the Ministry of Health. As a double-landlocked country, Uzbekistan receives sea cargo by rail from Caspian, Georgian or Chinese gateways, so SMGS rail documents are part of the shipment file. Dangerous goods follow IMDG or IATA.
