How to pay for Data Matrix codes

Data Matrix codes can be ordered for a fee. In accordance with Cabinet Resolution No. 833 dated 31.12.2020, one code costs UZS 68, excluding VAT. First of all, the participant in the commodities turnover should debit the account with the amount required to order the relevant number of Data Matrix codes, after which he/she will be able to order the same. The fee for the Data Matrix codes will be credited only after they are applied and introduced into circulation.

The invoice can be obtained via the User Account. For this end:

1. Log in the User Account in the labeling system;
2. On the left panel, select the Invoice;
3. Click three dots to the right of the relevant invoice and click Get the Invoice;
4. Indicate the amount to be debited and your email;
5. Click on the Order button.

The invoice with the relevant banking details will be sent to the email you have indicated. Once the payment is successfully completed, your account will be debited. Now you can create a Data Matrix order.

How to order Data Matrix codes

What to do if your order is rejected

Your order may be rejected, if:

•       There is no product profile in the National Catalog;
•       Data Matrix code type “Multiple-Unit Consumer Packaging” is indicated incorrectly (correct indication is Commodity Unit);

In this case, you need to return to the Order Management Dashboard and create a new order, taking into account the past errors.
