Business development in Tajikistan’s market is resource and time intensive.  Relationship-building is key to success. Most Tajik business contacts will expect face-to-face meetings, and establishing a good relationship with your potential buyers and partners is very important.  Materials should be translated into Tajik or Russian.  

Many foreign-based companies use local agents and distributors.  Although foreign companies can establish a representative office, finding a reliable local partner can often be preferrable.  Again, developing a good relationship with a trustworthy local agent will pay dividends.

There are legal offices that specialize in assisting foreign companies to enter the Tajik market; working with such a company can ease some of the burdens of conducting market research, lower the learning curve in culturally and socially accepted business practices, and avoid long-known pitfalls within the regulatory and taxation environments.

For commercial services and support, please contact the U.S. Embassy in Dushanbe.  As of this report, Tajikistan does not have a formal Department of Commerce presence, but the Embassy can coordinate with a regional Commerce representative on behalf of a U.S. company.  Note that some of these services are fee-based.

Global Business Navigator Chatbot Beta

Welcome to the Global Business Navigator, an artificial intelligence (AI) Chatbot from the International Trade Administration (ITA). This tool, currently in beta version testing, is designed to provide general information on the exporting process and the resources available to assist new and experienced U.S. exporters. The Chatbot, developed using Microsoft’s Azure AI services, is trained on ITA’s export-related content and aims to quickly get users the information they need. The Chatbot is intended to make the benefits of exporting more accessible by understanding non-expert language, idiomatic expressions, and foreign languages.

Limitations

As a beta product, the Chatbot is currently being tested and its responses may occasionally produce inaccurate or incomplete information. The Chatbot is trained to decline out of scope or inappropriate requests. The Chatbot’s knowledge is limited to the public information on the Export Solutions web pages of Trade.gov, which covers a wide range of topics on exporting. While it cannot provide responses specific to a company’s product or a specific foreign market, its reference pages will guide you to other relevant government resources and market research. Always double-check the Chatbot’s responses using the provided references or by visiting the Export Solutions web pages on Trade.gov. Do not use its responses as legal or professional advice. Inaccurate advice from the Chatbot would not be a defense to violating any export rules or regulations.

Privacy

The Chatbot does not collect information about users and does not use the contents of users’ chat history to learn new information. All feedback is anonymous. Please do not enter personally identifiable information (PII), sensitive, or proprietary information into the Chatbot. Your conversations will not be connected to other interactions or accounts with ITA. Conversations with the Chatbot may be reviewed to help ITA improve the tool and address harmful, illegal, or otherwise inappropriate questions.

Translation

The Chatbot supports a wide range of languages. Because the Chatbot is trained in English and responses are translated, you should verify the translation. For example, the Chatbot may have difficulty with acronyms, abbreviations, and nuances in a language other than English.
