Violation of established rules and requirements is punishable administratively. Liability for non-compliance with labeling rules is specified in the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated 09/22/2021 No. 595 "On measures to further improve taxpayer registration and simplify the procedure for VAT reimbursement".
