Good news: Since January 1, 2025, the Сustoms clearance fee for medical devices has been abolished, what makes import to Uzbekistan cheaper and more streamlined.
120 local manufacturers cover only 18% of the medical devices` market demand (data by the State Statistics committee). Primary import partners for medicinal products are Russia, China, India, Korea and Germany.

The registration certificate for medical devices in Uzbekistan is issued for 5 years, with easy renewal process
With the RedMed team to help, the registration shall take 3-9 months, depends on a risk class and the MDs complexity.

Registration Steps
Step 1. Initial documents selection, notarization and translation
We require an ISO 13485 certificate, a technical file, the device’s registration certificate from its country of origin, and several supporting reports.
To simplify the process, we provide you with a customized, class-specific checklist tailored to your device’s safety class — ensuring you know exactly what’s needed.
The materials meticulously translated into Uzbek and notarized—delivered ready for submission.
Partnering with our team means fewer uncertainties and a faster route to the market.
RedMed creates technical file for the devices, IfU and markings in Uzbek, and application for the registration - all based on requirements of Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated 23.03.2018 No. 213 "On the procedure for state registration of medicines, medical devices and medical equipment and the issuance of a registration certificate", as well as The Decree of The President of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated 19.08.2025 No. UP-137 "On additional measures to regulate the circulation of medicines and medical devices".
Already CE, FDA, MHRA, or PMDA certified? We unlock express registration in just 45 days—fast-tracked entry into the Uzbek market.
Certificates accepted:
- Food and Drug Administration (FDA), USA;
- Conformité Européenne (CE), EU;

Step 2. State fee calculation and payment.
The established state fee for medical devices in Uzbekistan system can appear complex at first glance. Each device is listed separately in the State Services Catalogue and assigned its own tariff, expressed in Basic Calculated Values (BCV/БРВ). As of 2026, BCV is 412 000 UZS (33 USD). Depending on the device type and complexity, a single item may be priced at 30, 67, 80 BCVs, or even higher.
Additionally, each modification has its own fee, and usually being slightly cheaper than the "main" fee.
If the modification`s GMDN code or purpose differs to the main device, another fee being applied. Overall, Uzbekistan exercises a fee-per-item system,not fee-per-certificate. This rather complicated fee structure applies to both fast-track and ordinary registration pathways.
When you need an exact state fee calculation for Uzbekistan, just drop us a message — via email or in the chat anytime.
We pay all fees at the very beginning of the registration process, in local currency and from our local company`s account.
Step 3. Samples for the Committee.
Uzbekistan exercises quite strict policy on samples review.
If you intend to register, say, 600 items, be ready to provide these 600 items to the Regulator. The samples later returned. Complete or partial absence of samples will lead to the return or cancellation of the dossier. Our team handles logistics, returns and customs clearance - so you don`t have to.
Note: The exception in presenting samples is: large or complicated in assembly device, or devices of risk class 1 (except for sterile, measuring or invasive devices of that risk class - these have to be presented).
Step 4. The State Pharmacy Committee reviews the application
and issues the certificate.
We collect your Registration Certificate from Tashkent`s Regulator Office.
Step 5. Post-marketing activities for further Reg Cert extension.
After 5 years, the Regulator requires feedback from local clinics and hospitals regarding the device’s performance and effectiveness. We support you fully by engaging trusted users of your device and preparing the necessary reports.
Following this stage, the registration dossier must be updated and resubmitted for renewal. The good news: state fees for renewal are reduced by 50%, making the process both efficient and cost-effective.

//QR-Markings for Medical Devices in Uzbekistan
As of 2026, medical devices included in the official Government list cover the following HS codes:
- 9018 – medical instruments and equipment
- 9019 – mechanical therapy equipment, massage devices
- 9021 – orthopedic devices, dental devices
- 9022 – radiology and imaging equipment
- 3006 – selected medical consumables
RedMed is a registered operator of QR-markings for local circulation and traceability.
ASL BELGISI is Uzbekistan’s mandatory product marking system introduced in 2022 and actively implemeted in various goods groups. The system aims to ensure authenticity, traceability, 'best before' date compliance and transparency for selected categories of medical devices.
We check each device for the ASL BELGISI requirement and notify you.
To participate in the ASL BELGISI system, local AR handles system registration with locally provided E-signature "e-imzo", requests marking code issue and distribution, data submission, and continuous compliance.
Marking must be applied to each individual unit.
All of medical devices falling under the ASL BELGISI codification must be marked before importation.
RedMed supports companies end-to-end: AR services, onboarding to the ASL BELGISI portal, code management, workflow integration, and full post-market compliance - so, an absolute no-brainer for manufacturers.

A.: Historically, regulations allowed a comfortable Registration management - the foreign manufacturer could not state an Authorised Representative in the Registration Certificate.
This meant:
- an Uzbekistani AR was not formally required to complete the registration,
- and, if designated, the AR’s name did not appear on the Registration Certificate or IfU.
However, legal changes introduced in August 2025 have re-established the role of the AR for better state control: a foreign manufacturer remains a holder of the Registration, yet the Certificate is issued on Uzbekistani company, having a local tax number, legal address, and contact information which will be placed to the IfUs and markings.
As well, the AR signs devices` documents with local E-signature 'e-imzo'.The 'e-imzo' is obtained at a local tax body and issued for local tax residents exclusively.
Furthermore, if the devices require State QR-markings being applied on them, the AR must contract with the State operator of digital markings and register every batch imported.
