Foreign airlines will not be penalized for overdue receivables for air navigation services provided during transit.

Uzbekistan Airways is exempt from customs duties on importing the following:

- aircrafts (TIF code 8802, 8803 and 8805), the period of manufacture of which does not exceed 10 years at the time of importing;
