Private label supplements for Uzbekistan

Overview

Selling EU-made supplements under your brand in Uzbekistan

To sell a food supplement under your own brand in Uzbekistan, your importer needs a permit from the Ministry of Health, reviewed in 10 working days, with laboratory conclusions from Uzbekistan in the file; the Ministry checks the trademark when it issues the permit. Pharma Manufacture, in Mārupe, Latvia, EU, manufactures the product from 150 units and supplies the manufacturer’s documents for the application.

Your importer files the application and holds the permit. Pharma Manufacture makes the product, prepares the label artwork with you and provides the factory’s documents. Our team works in English and Russian.

In Uzbek, food supplements are biologik faol qoʻshimchalar (BFQ); the Russian abbreviation BAD is used alongside it. Uzbekistan is not a member of the Eurasian Economic Union, and the Uzbek permit is a separate procedure from the Kazakh registration.

What buyers in Uzbekistan search for

Google search suggestions for Uzbekistan, collected on 30 October 2026 in Uzbek and Russian, put vitamin D3 first, with D3 plus K2 and D3 5000 among the variants. After it come magnesium in four forms (B6, citrate, glycinate, taurate), omega-3, collagen, ashwagandha and creatine.

In Russian, shoppers in Tashkent search most often for American, Korean, Turkish and Japanese vitamins. European and German vitamins are searched for too, but less: “европейские витамины ташкент” and “немецкие витамины ташкент” (European, German vitamins Tashkent) return 1 to 3 suggestions each (“купить”, buy; “цена”, price), and “витамины из германии в ташкенте” (vitamins from Germany in Tashkent) is among the suggestions.

No Uzbek or Russian query for contract manufacturing or private label in Uzbekistan appears; “private label” returns English variants only. No monthly supplement sales figures for Uzbekistan were found in the sources checked, so seasonal planning rests on your importer’s own sales history.

Registration and import

The import permit for supplements in Uzbekistan

The permit is set out in Annex 63 to Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 86 of 22 February 2022, in the edition amended by Resolution No. 154 of 9 April 2026. Annex 63 covers permits to import and produce biologically active substances, food supplements and other products.

BRV is the base calculation amount used for state fees in Uzbekistan. The application file under Annex 63, paragraph 5, contains:

• the application with the importer’s STIR, address and bank details;
• a power of attorney from the manufacturer in the applicant’s name;
• a safety certificate for the supplement or a registration certificate from the country of manufacture;
• the pack or its mock-up with information in Uzbek;
• the trademark or industrial design certificate, or a licence agreement, which the Ministry checks through the Intellectual Property portal;
• the composition, directions for use and contraindications, with Latin botanical names for plant ingredients;
• an assessment of the effect on the body by experimental laboratory modelling;
• a conclusion on chemical composition and a toxicological and hygienic assessment from accredited laboratories in Uzbekistan;
• a conclusion from the Committee’s laboratory that the supplement contains no narcotic substances.

The laboratory work happens in Uzbekistan; your importer and the Uzbek laboratory confirm how samples are imported.

Restrictions on importing supplements into Uzbekistan from the EU

Advertising for a food supplement in Uzbekistan must carry a warning that the product is not a medicine; a local lawyer agrees the exact Uzbek wording, for example “dori vositasi emas”. The Law on Advertising also bans giving the impression that a supplement is a medicine or better than one, including by citing studies or state registration, and bans cure stories and testimonials. The fine for a company that breaks the rules on supplement advertising is 30 BRV.
