Can an importing company use turnover tax?

Short answer

No. Importing goods excludes turnover tax at any size.

ExcludedImporters of goods — across the customs border, whatever their income (Tax Code, Art. 461 — lex.uz ↗)
Day oneThe general regime applies — from the date of the import contract or of the import itself, whichever comes first (Tax Code, Art. 462 — lex.uz ↗)
What the law provides

The exclusion is written into the regime itself: entities importing goods across the customs border may not apply turnover tax. The Code is specific about timing — such a company moves to VAT and profit tax from the date of concluding the import contract or of the import, whichever comes earlier. (Tax Code, Arts. 461–462 — lex.uz ↗)

In practice the monthly compliance load on the general regime is roughly triple the turnover regime’s, so an importer should plan for VAT and profit tax before registration rather than discover them after.
