Cost of customs clearance of goods for entrepreneurs of Dordoi market has become too high. Entrepreneur Sairagul Mamatkerimova told at a press conference.

According to her, sellers ask the president to help with solution of their problem, in particular, to influence reduction of prices for delivery of goods from $ 3 to $ 1.5.

«We ask the president to help us. The cost of customs clearance of goods was raised from $ 1 to $ 3. This is despite the fact that the market pays taxes of 600-700 million soms. It employs 100,000 people who feed themselves and their families. We pay 4.5 billion soms for shipping monthly. Even $ 2 per kilogram is a very high price for us,» Sairagul Mamatkerimova told.

The entrepreneur noted that no one had informed them about the increase in the cost of customs clearance.
