The Kia Morning (Picanto) is one of the most-asked-about Korean export models for Uzbekistan. This page is the operational version of that question: how to actually move a Kia Morning (Picanto) from Korea's used-car wholesale supply through Busan or Incheon, across the ocean to Aktau (then rail to Tashkent), and into your hands legally — with the FOB and freight bands you can plan around, the documents customs will actually want, and the country-specific rules that catch first-time importers.
Why the Kia Morning (Picanto) fits the Uzbekistan market
The Kia Morning (Picanto) city car is the lowest-cost Korean export for Uzbekistan — a 1.0L hatchback that ships economically (up to 4–5 units per 40ft container), costs little to insure and fuel, and resells quickly in dense urban markets.
FOB price range — Kia Morning (Picanto) from Korea
Indicative FOB Busan ranges for export-grade Kia Morning (Picanto) units sourced from the Korean wholesale market in 2026:
| Vehicle band | Year / mileage profile | FOB Busan (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| Entry-grade | Older year, higher mileage, full inspection clean | 3,000 |
| Mid-grade | ~5 years old, moderate mileage, common trim | ~ 5,250 |
| Top-grade | Recent year, low mileage, top trim or premium spec | 7,500 |
FOB is the price for the vehicle delivered to Busan port, cleared through Korean export customs, with a Korean Performance Inspection Report attached. It does not include ocean freight, destination customs duty, or local taxes.
Shipping route from Korea to Uzbekistan
Russian-language documentation supported. Most Kia Morning (Picanto) shipments to Uzbekistan move via the following route:
- Origin: Busan or Incheon (depending on which has earlier sailings to your destination corridor).
- Route: Aktau → Tashkent (rail); Bandar Abbas → Termez (transit).
- Primary entry: Aktau (then rail to Tashkent).
- Typical transit: 30–45 days ocean / multi-modal time. Total elapsed time including documentation and destination clearance is usually 30–45 days plus 5–10 days for paperwork.
- Indicative ocean freight: approximately USD 2,500–4,500 per vehicle (RoRo or shared container, varies by season and bunker rates).

- Korean Export Declaration — filed with Korea Customs Service in SH GLOBAL Co., Ltd.'s legal entity name.
- Original Korean vehicle registration history — full ownership chain.

Uzbekistan import notes for Kia Morning (Picanto)
- Age limit: Tax-favorable for vehicles under ~3 years; older vehicles permitted but at sharply higher duty.
- Duties & taxes: Excise + VAT + customs duty; effective total 50–100% for older cars, much lower for near-new units.
- Operational notes: Multi-modal: ocean to Aktau, then rail or road to Tashkent. Because Uzbekistan's duty structure heavily favors younger vehicles, lower-mileage Korean inventory is the economic sweet spot.
Who this combination fits
Tashkent dealers, individual buyers preferring near-new Korean SUVs and minivans, and commercial fleet operators. The Kia Morning (Picanto) is generally the right pick for buyers who want the cheapest-to-own Korean car for city driving and quick resale and need a vehicle that holds resale value in the Uzbekistan market.
