Uzbekistan: Uzbekistan’s Tax Authority Announces New Digital Certificate Rules for Origin Documents

As of 2026/08/13, the Uzbek State Tax Committee published amendments to Implementing Regulation No. 2026/1422 on electronic certificates of origin, tightening customs and tax review timelines, and introducing stricter record‑keeping obligations for cross‑border transactions.
