U.S. companies currently active in Uzbekistan most commonly use the following methods to get their product to the market: distributing or selling the product directly; working through a countrywide distributor or agent; working through more than one local-area distributor or agent; and distributing or selling products directly from a warehouse.

It is important to have an experienced and reliable local partner or agent who knows the local market, customs regulations, business environment and legislation.  A U.S. based exporter that is new to the market may contact business associations such as the American Chamber of Commerce in Uzbekistan (www.amcham.uz) for general information on potential partners, agents or distributors.
