Discover How Our Last Mile & Event Logistics Portfolios Are Supporting Media Production Events in Uzbekistan

Case Summary

Services Involved: Customs Clearance (Temporary Import, Re-Export), IOR / EOR Services, Road Transportation, Event Logistics, Dangerous Goods Handling



Customer Benefits:

  • Seamless execution of temporary import and re-export of high-value automobile and media production equipment for a high-stakes event in Uzbekistan


  • Same-day import clearance of the Lamborghini Huracán EVO Spyder at Tashkent International Airport (TAS)


  • Complete vehicle road-compliance coordination for lawful operation across filming locations in Uzbekistan


  • Timely completion of re-export procedures at Navoi International Airport (NVI) prior to flight departure


Background: Around the World In a Lamborghini

In October 2026, Delta Global Solutions managed end-to-end customs clearance and logistics operations in Uzbekistan for Bright Bay Creative LLC, supporting the MrBeast production project "Around the World in a Lamborghini."


The project required the temporary importation, multi-city transport, public road compliance, and subsequent international re-export of a high-value 2022 Lamborghini Huracán EVO Spyder alongside professional filming and lighting equipment.


Leveraging deep expertise in Uzbekistan customs regimes and specialized cargo handling, the Delta team achieved same-day import clearance at Tashkent International Airport (TAS) and completed all re-export procedures at Navoi International Airport (NVI) ahead of the scheduled international departure.

Challenge: Navigating Media Production Logistics in Uzbekistan

Navigating media production logistics in Central Asia presents unique administrative, legal, and operational hurdles:


  • Customs Clearance: Unlike standard commercial imports, both the supercar and production gear required strict temporary import procedures under defined project windows for a high-stakes public event in Uzbekistan


  • Public Road Compliance: The Lamborghini was not simply cargo; it was driven across major historic routes in Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva. This necessitated full legal compliance, including notarized power of attorney, translations, and official authorizations for public road use


  • Dangerous Goods Handling: The vehicle fell under UN3166 (Class 9 Dangerous Goods) due to its fuel-powered engine, requiring compliance with strict aviation safety standards


  • Tight Operational Window: Demanding international film production schedules required error-free execution at both import and re-export gateways to prevent project delays

Solution: Customs Compliance For a High-Stakes Public Event in Uzbekistan

To navigate these complex requirements without disruption to the filming timeline, Delta Global Solutions combined expedited customs clearance, road authorization, airport handling, and dangerous goods transport into a single turnkey service:


  • Temporary Import Customs Management: Processed the supercar and production gear as independent shipments to avoid bottlenecks, securing temporary import permits and Importer of Record (IOR) compliance


  • Road-Use Authorization: Prepared power of attorney documentation, official translations, notarizations, and temporary vehicle registry permits to enable lawful driving on Uzbek roads during filming


  • Dangerous Goods & Aviation Safety: Compiled Class 9 DG documentation (UN3166) and coordinated acceptance with the airline, ground handler, and airport authorities at both Tashkent (TAS) and Navoi (NVI) airports


  • Transport Risk Management: Arranged road transportation from Khiva to Navoi, overseeing cargo securing and trucking to the NVI airport


  • Re-Export from Uzbekistan: Completed re-export customs clearance in time for the supercar and the production gear to depart on time, without disrupting filming schedule at next destination


Key Operational Timelines

  • 3 October 2026 — Arrival & Same-Day Clearance at TAS: The Lamborghini arrived at Tashkent International Airport (TAS). Delta processed and completed temporary import customs clearance on the same day, preventing production delays


  • 4 October 2026 — Equipment Import Clearance: Professional camera and lighting gear arrived at TAS and were cleared as a separate shipment to streamline documentation and handling


  • 5–14 October 2026 — Production Support & Inter-City Transit: Delta Global Solutions managed road compliance documentation while the team filmed across Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva, coordinating special transport, risk management agreements, and airport access the upcoming exit at Navoi (NVI)


  • 15 October 2026 — Re-Export Customs Clearance at NVI: Re-export customs procedures for both the vehicle and equipment were fully completed at Navoi International Airport a full day ahead of departure


  • 16 October 2026 — Scheduled Departure: Both assets departed Uzbekistan on schedule, concluding a seamless logistics lifecycle

Conclusion

This project highlights Delta Global Solutions’ capacity to execute complex, time-sensitive, and high-value logistics operations in Uzbekistan and Central Asia. Through combination of customs clearance capabilities with event logistics coordination expertise, Delta Global Solutions enables international media and production teams to operate seamlessly in demanding environments.
