Customs
Turkmenistan is one of the world's most isolated countries — the authoritarian regime strictly controls all imports. No clear de minimis — NDS (VAT) of 15% and customs duty per the Turkmen tariff apply from the first value. State customs inspection is unpredictable — shipments may be held without explanation. DHL has very limited service to Ashgabat. Delivery times are extremely variable. Commercial shipments are strongly discouraged.
Required documents
- CN22 is a simplified customs declaration for parcels up to 2 kg and €270 in value. Completed at the post office or generated by the carrier. Without CN22, the parcel may be held at customs.
