Implications

As of Saturday, April 19, 2025, here's the latest update on tariffs concerning Uzbekistan and the United States: Current U.S. Tariffs on Goods from Uzbekistan: A 10% baseline tariff is currently in effect for most goods imported from Uzbekistan into the United States. This tariff was part of the broader "reciprocal tariff" measures announced by the U.S. earlier in April. While a 90-day pause on the higher "retaliatory" tariffs was implemented for many countries on April 9, 2025, this pause did include Uzbekistan. Therefore, the tariff rate for Uzbekistan reverted to the baseline 10%. It's important to note that this 10% is a general tariff, and specific categories of goods might have different rates based on the Harmonized System (HS) code. U.S.-Uzbekistan Trade Relations: The United States and Uzbekistan have a bilateral trade agreement that entered into force on January 14, 1994. This agreement grants Most-Favored-Nation (MFN) trade status between the two countries. The U.S. had previously granted Uzbekistan exemption from many U.S. import tariffs under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) program, starting on August 17, 1994. However, the U.S. GSP program expired on December 31, 2020, and although there have been discussions about its renewal, it has not been reauthorized as of today. This means that goods from Uzbekistan that previously entered the U.S. duty-free under GSP are now subject to the applicable tariffs. The U.S. and Uzbekistan also signed a Customs Mutual Assistance Agreement (CMAA) on September 13, 2024, which aims to enhance trade facilitation and security cooperation by allowing for the exchange of customs information.   Impact of Tariffs on Uzbekistan: Given that a significant portion (86% in 2024) of Uzbekistan's exports to the U.S. consists of services (which are not subject to tariffs), the direct impact of the new 10% tariff on the overall trade volume might be relatively limited. The main goods exported from Uzbekistan to the U.S. have included items like unspecified goods, precious metals (specifically silver), and aluminum. These goods are now subject to the 10% tariff. There are concerns that the broader global trade slowdown resulting from the widespread U.S. tariffs could indirectly impact Uzbekistan's trade with its other major partners. Uzbekistan has expressed interest in the renewal of the U.S. GSP program, as it previously facilitated trade by providing duty-free access for certain goods. The lapse of GSP is seen as a potential impediment to further growth in the U.S.-Uzbekistan trade relationship.   In summary, as of April 19, 2025, the general tariff rate for goods imported from Uzbekistan to the United States is 10%. The expiration of the U.S. GSP program means that Uzbek goods no longer benefit from duty-free entry under that scheme. The U.S. and Uzbekistan continue to have a trade agreement in place and are exploring ways to enhance their economic relationship, including discussions around Uzbekistan's potential accession to the WTO and the revitalization of the GSP program

US Negotiation Strategy

Based on the most recent data (2024), the top imports to the US from Uzbekistan by value are: Commodities not specified according to kind: $7.90 Million Aluminum: $7.42 Million Pearls, precious stones, metals, coins: $6.67 Million Edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers: $3.66 Million Copper: $3.23 Million Here's a look at which states in the US have manufacturing in these sectors, along with some example companies: Aluminum: Several states have significant aluminum production, including: Kentucky: Century Aluminum has a smelter in Hawesville, Kentucky. Washington: Alcoa operates a smelter in Ferndale, Washington. South Carolina: производитель Century Aluminum also has operations in Goose Creek, South Carolina. Other states with aluminum production include Alabama, Arkansas, and Missouri.   Pearls, precious stones, metals, coins (Refining and Processing): This category is broad and includes refining and processing rather than raw material extraction in most cases for imports. States involved in precious metals processing and manufacturing include: New York: Strong in jewelry and precious metal fabrication. Companies in the diamond district and other areas process and manufacture items.   California: Has a significant jewelry manufacturing industry. Texas: Some companies specialize in refining and processing precious metals.   Edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers (Agriculture and Food Processing): Many states are involved in the cultivation and processing of vegetables: California: A major agricultural producer of a wide variety of vegetables. Companies like Bolthouse Farms (carrots, etc.) operate here.   Florida: Significant producer of tomatoes, peppers, and other vegetables.   Washington: Known for potatoes and other vegetables.   Other major vegetable-producing states include Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, and Oregon.   Copper (Refining and Manufacturing): While the US has copper mines, it also imports and refines copper. States with copper refining and manufacturing include: Arizona: While primarily known for mining, some processing occurs here. Texas: Has copper refineries and manufacturers of copper products.   Utah: Kennecott Utah Copper (Rio Tinto) is a large integrated mining and smelting operation.   It's important to note that for "Commodities not specified according to kind," it's impossible to pinpoint specific manufacturing states without more detailed information on what these commodities are. Additionally, the specific types and grades of aluminum, precious metals, vegetables, and copper imported from Uzbekistan might have unique characteristics or be used in specialized applications that are not perfectly replicated by domestic US manufacturing.
