MERICAN Journal of Public Diplomacy and International Studies www.
grnjournal.us As part of the European Union's system of special preferences for sustainable development and
effective management ("GSP+") provided to the republic, Uzbekistan had the opportunity to
export more than 6,200 items of goods to the European market without customs duties.
In particular, a wide range of textile products, footwear, agricultural products, vehicles, mineral
fertilizers, oil and chemical industry products, construction materials, ceramic and metal
products, and technological equipment, which have the main export potential of the republic, are
exempt from customs duty.
If we give clear examples, within the framework of the "GSP+" system, in contrast to the "GSP"
system, apple and tomato juices - 13.3-25.5%, peaches and apricots - 14.1-16.5%, frozen
vegetables (potatoes , olives, tomatoes, etc.) – 10.9%, vehicles for cargo transportation – 15.4%,
offal products – 11.9%, canned vegetables – 14.1%, fish meat and fillets – 14.5 %, fruit juices -
14.5%, children's clothes - 8.4% and t-shirts - 9.6% customs duties were canceled. [9]
It should be noted that the use of benefits within the framework of the "GSP+" by the member
countries of the European Union will significantly increase their export potential while ensuring
the competitiveness of their local products on the European market.
Figure 1 was developed by the author so that local business entities can get information about
which products and the amount of customs duties are applied to the benefits within this system.
As
you
can
see
from
this
figure,
the
exporting
organization
goes
to
https://trade.ec.europa.eu/access-to-markets/en/home to get information about the GSP+ status of
its product. From this link platform, customs tariff numbers (HS code) of the exported product or
the name of the product, as well as the exporting country and one of the EU countries to which
the product is sent, are selected and the "search" button is clicked. As a result, it is possible to see
the origin of the information on customs duties for products imported from third countries and
"0" customs duty for countries that have obtained the "GSP+".
