The Q&A Service of the State Customs Service of Turkmenistan: Efficiency and Transparency
Launched in February 2026, the "Question and Answer" service of the State Customs Service of Turkmenistan has rapidly become a vital tool for modernizing the customs system and improving the business environment. The acceptance of 201 inquiries during its first three months of operation (February–April) proves how essential this initiative is for citizens and entrepreneurs.

- Acceleration and simplification of customs procedures.
- Reduction of errors during the documentation process.
- Saving of time and resources for businesses.
This service provided by the State Customs Service is free of charge and accessible to all interested parties.
- Phone number: 39-41-39
