HALAL CERTIFICATE IN UZBEKISTAN: WHY YOUR BUSINESS NEEDS IT, HOW MUCH IT COSTS, AND HOW TO GET IT
In the past, the "Halal" mark was just a neat marketing trick for many. Slap a green crescent on the packaging, and sales would soar. No one really dug deep to see if there was any actual control behind the label. But the rules of the game have fundamentally changed. Starting May 1, 2025, "Halal" labeling in Uzbekistan was taken under strict state control. Now, this mark requires an official certificate based exclusively on SMIIC standards. Although obtaining the certificate is voluntary, if you want to enter major supermarket chains, export, or work with imported raw materials, it has become a core requirement for doing business.
If you produce food, cosmetics, or even ordinary bottled water, and you want your packaging to boost sales rather than collect fines for illegal labeling, you need to understand the new rules. In this article, we—as an agency working directly with brands—will break it all down for you from A to Z: who issues legitimate certificates today, by what criteria your production will be evaluated, how much the process costs, and in which unexpected products the Halal status plays a decisive role.

Typical Packaging Mistakes Local Brands Make When Entering International Markets
More and more Uzbek manufacturers are looking beyond the domestic market. In many cases, packaging becomes one of the key factors that determines whether an export launch succeeds or fails. The problem is usually not the quality of the product itself, but the fact that packaging for foreign markets is developed in the same way as packaging for the domestic market. In other words, companies simply take the packaging that already works locally, translate the name into English, and consider the job done.
Below are the most common mistakes and why each of them can cost much more than it may seem at first.

How do printing capabilities in Uzbekistan affect design?
A beautifully designed prototype and the final packaging produced by a printing house are not always the same. A designer can create an unusual bottle, add a velvety label and gold lettering. But the main question should always be: “Can this actually be produced?”
Most importantly, this question must be asked during the design stage, before the packaging is approved. Otherwise, the result may be an expensive redesign or disappointment that “it looked better on the screen.”
Packaging production in Uzbekistan is growing together with the FMCG market. Therefore, understanding the real capabilities of local printing houses is just as important for a designer as having a good sense of color and composition.
