Why Uzbekistan Asks for an Apostilled FDA Certificate
Uzbekistan is one of the most open markets in Central Asia for products already approved in the United States. Under a 2018 presidential decree and Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 862, medicines authorized in any of 20 countries with high regulatory standards, the U.S. among them, can follow a simplified registration that skips Uzbekistan's own safety, quality and efficacy examination. The state expert center then has 15 working days to decide.
Proof of the U.S. authorization is central to that route, and for U.S. products it comes from FDA documents. Because the FDA is a federal agency, only the U.S. Department of State can apostille them. We handle that and ship the apostilled certificate to you or straight to your Uzbek representative.
Which FDA Certificate Does Your Uzbek Importer Need?
Match your product to the Uzbek authority that reviews it and the FDA certificate that authority normally expects.
| Product type | Uzbek authority | FDA certificate |
|---|---|---|
| Medicines | Ministry of Health, State Center for Expertise and Standardization of Medicines, Medical Devices and Medical Equipment | Certificate of a Pharmaceutical Product (CPP), Certificate of Exportability |
| Medical devices | Ministry of Health expert center for medicines and medical devices | Certificate to a Foreign Government (CFG), Certificate of Exportability |
| Food, ingredients & infant formula | Sanitary and epidemiological authorities | Certificate to a Foreign Government (CFG), Health Certificate |
| Dietary supplements & medical foods | Sanitary and epidemiological authorities, depending on classification | Certificate of Free Sale (CFS) |
| Cosmetics & personal care | Sanitary and epidemiological authorities and conformity assessment bodies | Certificate for Cosmetics |
Uzbekistan has reorganized its health regulators several times since 2017, so agency names change. Your Uzbek representative will confirm the current authority, the route for your product and the FDA documents it needs.
How the FDA Apostille for Uzbekistan Works
The Hague Apostille Convention has been in force for Uzbekistan since 15 April 2012, so a single apostille from the U.S. Department of State makes your FDA certificate valid there. There is no embassy visit, consular stamp or second legalization step.

Exporting to Uzbekistan: What to Prepare
The 20-country fast track
Medicines authorized in the U.S., the EU (including via the EMA), the UK, Switzerland, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Israel or Norway can use Uzbekistan's simplified registration. A decision is due within 15 working days, and the first authorization lasts five years. After renewal, it becomes unlimited.
Simplified routes for devices too
Uzbekistan has also introduced simplified registration for medical devices already approved in recognized jurisdictions. Ask your representative whether your device qualifies and which apostilled FDA documents the route requires.
Uzbek and Russian translation
Uzbek is the state language, and Russian is still widely used in business and administration. Files typically need a certified translation into Uzbek or Russian. Apostille the FDA certificate first, then translate it, so the apostille is included.
Not part of the EAEU
Unlike neighbouring Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan isn't a full member of the Eurasian Economic Union, so it registers products nationally. An EAEU registration doesn't automatically cover Uzbekistan. Plan a separate file and separate apostilled originals.
