Product Labelling Innovations In Uzbekistan

Commencing on 1 August 2020, it is prohibited in Uzbekistan to issue a certificate of conformity for most imported consumer goods without the manufacturer's marking of such goods in the State language of Uzbekistan (the Uzbek alphabet based on the Latin script).

Hence, these types of goods fall under alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, confectionery, dairy products, sanitary and hygiene products and many other types of goods.

There is also the list of exceptions which includes:

• Goods without consumer packaging;
• Goods which are imported, for own needs and not intended for production or other commercial activities;
• Goods for official use of diplomatic and consular representations of foreign states in the Republic of Uzbekistan organized by international and intergovernmental organizations, representations of foreign states to these organizations and other international organizations, and also for their staff;
