In the first half of 2025, Tajikistan’s top import sources were:

Russia - 26.9 per cent of total imports

China - 26.2 per cent

Kazakhstan - 14.2 per cent

Uzbekistan - 5.1 per cent

Iran - 4.6 per cent

Belarus - 2.7 per cent

South Korea - 2.5 per cent

Türkiye - 2.3 per cent

Key imports include oil products, passenger cars, liquefied natural gas, wheat, lumber, sugar, aluminum, vegetable oil, fresh produce, mineral fertilizers, and flour.

The possibility of Tajikistan joining the EAEU is still under review by an interagency working group, which has been assessing the economic and political implications of membership since 2015.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly underlined the need to deepen cooperation between Tajikistan and EAEU member states, highlighting the bloc’s successful integration projects.

Tajik Foreign Minister Sirojiddin Muhriddin has said that Dushanbe is carefully evaluating the experiences of other member states, particularly Kyrgyzstan and Armenia, to assess the potential benefits and drawbacks of joining the union.
