Uzbekistan Medicines Compliance

Discover OneScan

Summary

Uzbekistan enforces pharmaceutical serialization through its national system called XTrace, managed by CRPT Turon. All human medicines must carry serialized GS1 DataMatrix codes issued by the government. The country recently introduced significant changes to serial number format and reporting rules, including removal of the UZF0 segment and the introduction of a mandatory 7 prefix for serial numbers. Manufacturers, importers and distributors must generate compliant serial numbers, report all movements and ensure strict alignment between printed codes and submitted data for customs clearance.

Labelling Requirements 

Each sellable pack must contain a GS1 DataMatrix including:

  • GTIN
  • Serial Number (with new 7 prefix for codes generated after the regulatory update)
  • Batch Number
  • Expiry Date
  • Optional product-specific requirements depending on category

Human readable fields must match the DataMatrix.

Outer packaging (cases and pallets) must carry SSCC barcodes for aggregation.

Aggregation Requirements 

  • Aggregation is required for all hierarchical movements.
  • Each case and pallet must have validated parent child links.
  • Missing or incorrect aggregation often leads to customs delays or rejection.

Regulatory Timeline 

  • 2019 – Pilot serialization program initiated.
  • 2021 – Mandatory serialization and reporting introduced for most medicines.
  • 2022 – Expansion to full pharmaceutical categories.
  • October 2024 Update –
  • Mandatory 7 prefix for serial numbers.
  • Removal of mandatory UZF0 segment between AI 91 and 92.
  • New format required for all newly generated codes.
  • 2025 onward – Strict enforcement for corrected serial formats at customs.

Operational Timelines for Industry 

  1. Register with xTrace and configure digital credentials.
  1. Generate serial numbers in the updated format with the 7 prefix.
  1. Print labels with correct DataMatrix structure.
  1. Build SSCC aggregation (case and pallet hierarchy).
  1. Report commission, aggregation and shipment before dispatch.
  1. Complete import reporting before customs release.
  1. Report receiving, supply, returns and decommission events in real time.

Common Errors to Avoid 

  • Serial numbers without the mandatory 7 prefix after the cutover date
  • Using the old UZF0 pattern in new codes
  • Attempting to report old format serials created before cutover after the enforcement date
  • Parent child mismatches in aggregation
  • Wrong GLN or location details for sender or receiver
  • Missing customs pre-clearance reporting
  • Serial numbers generated before the cutover but reported late (risk of rejection)

Reporting Hub

  • Uzbekistan uses the xTrace platform for all serialization and movement reporting.
  • Managed by CRPT Turon, part of the same ecosystem as systems used in CIS countries.
  • Reporting can be done via API integration or through the ASL BELGISI portal.
  • Importers must complete reporting before customs release.
