KYIV, Dec 11 – Uzbekistan has gradually started the customs clearance of goods of Ukrainian origin, which were previously blocked, the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade reported in response to a request from the Ukrtsukor National Association of Sugar Producers.

"Starting from mid-November, the customs clearance of sugar and other goods that arrived in Uzbekistan from Ukraine was stopped. That is why the association appealed to the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade and the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food asking to resolve the situation, because Uzbekistan remains the main importer of Ukrainian sugar.
