The Info Trade Central Asia Gateway is the online information hub dedicated to facilitating trade in Central Asia and helping connect the region to international markets.
The platform aggregates in one website the information from National Trade Facilitation Portals (TFPs) of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan to provide operators easy access to information on cross-border trade formalities.
The Central Asia Gateway offers full door-to-door transparency reducing the cost, time and efforts spent in searching trade-related information, minimizing the risk of border shipment delays, and supporting trade corridors and regional trade integration.
