Pricing in Tajikistan

To estimate pricing on the local market, companies should take into account transportation costs, associated import duties (customs duties, fees, certification costs), and value added tax (VAT).

Tajikistan’s overall trade-weighted import tariff averages out to some 7.5% (minimum 5% – maximum 15%), not including the 18% VAT. However, trading with Tajikistan is challenging because the country is so distant from seaports.

Competition from Russian, Asian, and European producers is significant. Most consumers in Tajikistan are very price-sensitive and usually opt for lower prices over quality.
