Article 364. Submission of a certificate of origin of goods

A certificate of origin of goods shall be submitted along with a customs declaration and other documents required for customs clearance. If the certificate is lost, a duplicate, which is officially certified by an issuing body, shall be accepted.

When importing goods into the customs territory, a certificate of origin of goods shall be mandatory for the following cases:

for goods originating from countries accorded with tariff preferences by the Republic of Uzbekistan;

for goods, import of which from a given country is governed by quantitative restrictions (quotas) or other measures to regulate foreign economic activity;

when information on origin of goods is not specified in the documents submitted for customs clearance or a customs authority has grounds that inaccurate information on the origin of goods is declared;

if it is specified in legislation and international agreements of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

In cases of doubt concerning integrity of a certificate of origin of goods or information contained in it, including information about the country of origin of goods, a customs authority can contact authorities that issued the certificate or competent organizations of the country that is indicated as the country of origin of goods with a request to provide additional information or clarifications.

Goods shall not be considered to be originating from a given country until a duly executed certificate of origin of goods or requested information are presented in cases established in parts two and three of this Article.

Customs authorities shall accept a certificate of origin of goods, which originate from countries that form a free trade zone with the Republic of Uzbekistan or with which the Republic of Uzbekistan has established a free trade regime, only if customs authorities have sample templates of a certificate of origin of goods, samples of stamps of entities and signatures of individuals, who are authorized to certify and issue a certificate of origin of goods, in their files.
