As of 4 August 2024, the issue of Certificates of Origin for products is to be conducted according to the revised procedure.
The amendments introduced by Decree No. 311 of 30 May 2024, provide the possibility to issue a CT-UZ certificate for products manufactured in Uzbekistan, sold on the internal marked and subsequently exported abroad.
The competent authority for issuing a Certificate of Origin is Uzbekexpertiza (“O‘zbekekspertiza”).
A Certificate of Origin is to be issued by the competent authority with the purpose of certifying the place of origin of the product and can be used to benefit from preferences or any other purposes not associated with preferences, in accordance with the legislation of the country into which the product is imported.
The principles for determining a product’s country of origin are based on the existing international practice. The rules of preferential origin are determined based on the international agreements Uzbekistan is a party to as well as in accordance with the rules for preferential origin based on preferences granted by other countries.
A Certificate of Origin can be issued electronically in the form of a QR code. If a Certificate of Origin is issued electronically, there will be no need to apply for a duplicate certificate.
