New measures to support the green economy and waste management sector have been adopted.

The document is aimed at expanding access to essential goods, stimulating the development of key industries, and creating favorable conditions for the introduction of modern technologies, including in the field of "green" economy and waste management.

According to the Decree, from January 1, 2026, certain types of goods imported into the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan, based on the lists formed in the prescribed manner, are exempt from customs duties for the following periods:

Thus, until January 1, 2028, the zero rate of customs duty will be applied to:

• charging stations for electric vehicles, their components, as well as technological equipment intended for the creation and development of service infrastructure;
