Alcohol and tobacco are sold only by card

Uzbekistan 17:53, 11-12-2025

Starting from April 1, 2026, in Uzbekistan, alcohol and tobacco products can only be purchased using a plastic card or electronic payment systems. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

In other words, buying such products with cash will be discontinued. The government has set the main goal of this decision as strengthening control over product circulation and ensuring financial transparency.

This change will help formalize the sale of alcohol and tobacco products and reduce illegal trade. From now on, it will be necessary to use POS terminals or mobile payment systems to purchase these products.

The introduction of this innovation may affect the daily purchasing habits of the population. Therefore, it is advisable to inform your relatives about this change.

You can read detailed information related to this decision from official government sources or reliable information websites such as One.uz.
