A total of 76 Tajik companies have so far been registered in the European Union’s Registered Exporter System (REX), according to the Export Agency under the Government of Tajikistan.
Speaking to journalists, the Agency’s director, Bahriddin Sirojiddinzoda, said on January 30 that the growing participation of domestic companies has been made possible by the introduction of a self-certification mechanism for the origin of goods. This system grants Tajik exporters access to customs preferences and significantly simplifies export procedures for shipments to EU countries.
The REX system was introduced by the European Union for developing countries and operates within the framework of the Generalized Scheme of Preferences (GSP). Exporters registered in the system are allowed to independently certify the origin of their products and benefit from preferential customs treatment when exporting goods to the EU market.
The registration process is fully digitalized and free of charge. As a result, companies registered in the system can more actively use e-commerce channels to supply their products to European markets, simplifying trade operations and contributing to the development of electronic commerce in Tajikistan.
