The U.S. and Uzbekistan announced an early harvest of trade commitments during Ambassador Jamieson Greer’s visit to Uzbekistan. According to the press release published on the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) website, the package includes tariff concessions, expanded investment cooperation, and faster negotiations toward a Reciprocal Trade and Investment Agreement. The announcement follows discussions between President Donald J. Trump and President Shavkat Mirziyoyev in 2025 and builds on $32 billion in bilateral commercial agreements announced last year.
Early Harvest Trade Commitments
The early harvest centers on the following commitments:
- Tariffs: Uzbekistan commits to eliminate or reduce tariffs on a wide range of U.S. industrial goods and agricultural products. In return, the U.S. will provide favorable consideration in tariff actions for Uzbek industrial and agricultural goods, to the extent appropriate and consistent with U.S. law.
- Investment cooperation: Both sides agreed to strengthen investment cooperation and explore pathways to promote and facilitate bilateral investments.
- Accelerated negotiations: The two countries will speed up talks toward a full Agreement on Reciprocal Trade and Investment.
The early harvest marks further progress since Presidents Trump and Mirziyoyev announced $32 billion in bilateral commercial deals in 2025. Those agreements included an $8.5 billion Boeing deal, alongside purchases and investments across critical minerals, mining, energy, finance, and information technology.
Both countries plan to formalize the early harvest trade commitments in the coming weeks.
