The shipment, worth $90,000, left Uzbekistan in late July and was transported along an alternative transit corridor through Turkmenistan, Iran, Azerbaijan and Turkey, the Dunyo news agency reported.
The delivery marks the first shipment under a broader push to expand Uzbek exports to the Syrian market. In June, Uzbek household appliance manufacturer Premier Electronics signed a $2 million export contract with Syria’s Kalash Trading Company LTD with the support of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Uzbekistan.
The agreement covers a wide range of household appliances, including refrigerators, washing machines, televisions and air conditioners. The Chamber of Commerce and Industry said the deal is expected to expand the presence of Uzbek-made products in Middle Eastern markets and strengthen the Made in Uzbekistan brand.
The latest shipment is part of a broader effort to establish regular trade between Uzbekistan and Syria. In May, the Uzbek-Syrian Trade House opened in Aleppo with the assistance of Ahmad Kalash, head of Kalash Trading. A distribution center for Made in Uzbekistan products operates through the trade house.
Earlier, Uzbek and Syrian companies agreed to send an initial 10 truckloads of Uzbek goods to Syria. The planned shipments included four trucks of household appliances, four carrying oil products, and two loaded with auto parts and motor oil.
Uzbekistan is also seeking to expand exports beyond household appliances. President Shavkat Mirziyoyev announced measures in November 2025 to increase exports to Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan, highlighting demand in those markets for automobiles, electrical goods, textiles and other Uzbek-made products.
Chamber of Commerce and Industry Chairman Davron Vakhabov has estimated that Uzbek businesses could export $100–150 million worth of goods to the Syrian market in 2026, particularly automobiles and auto parts, food products and electrical equipment. The chamber has described Iraq and Syria as markets with significant potential for Uzbek exporters.
