The Ministry of Justice, jointly with the State Customs Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan, has studied legislation and law enforcement practice in passing permits issuance procedures, control procedures at foreign customs and border posts in foreign economic activity.
The Ministry of Justice, jointly with the State Customs Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan, has studied legislation and law enforcement practice in passing permits issuance procedures, control procedures at foreign customs and border posts in foreign economic activity. Unnecessary bureaucratic procedures and requirements were identified.
The low level of the process automation during the passage of control at posts, as well as the lack of regulations, does not allow speeding up these procedures. At the same time, the absence of a risk management system in the activities of control bodies at posts (with the exception of customs authorities) necessitates the inspection of each vehicle and cargo. This leads to an increase in duration of the procedures, as well as a decrease in the effectiveness of implementation of appropriate control.
The study of foreign experience has shown that the introduction of modern information systems that allow to draw up and receive necessary documents in real time according to the Single Window principle and pass customs, border and other control through automated systems, the elimination of unnecessary procedures and documents have allowed advanced foreign countries to significantly reduce financial and time costs for export and import.
According to the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Uzbekistan, a survey among entrepreneurs has been organized to identify real problems in the field and to more fully cover issues in implementation of foreign economic activity on the telegram channel of the Ministry of Justice “Huquqiy axborot”. Over 100 proposals and opinions of entrepreneurs were received through “qonunchilikbot”, which were taken into account when developing a project for further improving the sphere.
The Ministry of Justice has developed a draft decision of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, providing for the reduction of procedures, deadlines and documents required for processing permits and passing controls at posts, developing regulations for passing control procedures at posts, as well as risk management systems and others.
