Alcohol and tobacco are sold only by card

Uzbekistan 19:39, 10-12-2025

Starting from April 1, 2026, the purchase of alcohol and tobacco products with cash will be prohibited in the country. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

These products will now only be sold through plastic cards or electronic payment systems. This decision, adopted by the government, has been introduced to increase transparency and strengthen control over the circulation of these products.

Therefore, from 2026 onwards, POS terminals or mobile payment methods will become the primary means for purchasing alcohol and cigarettes. This regulation aims, on one hand, to reduce illegal trade, and on the other hand, to ensure transparency in the economy.

The new rules are attracting a lot of attention, so it is recommended to inform your relatives about these changes as well. You can follow detailed information about this news from official sources, including the one.uz website.
