On 18 January 2022 several amendments and additions were introduced into the Law “On the protection of consumer rights” (hereinafter – the “ Law ”) providing consumers broader rights and protections. The amended Law additionally regulates the protection of consumers who purchase goods in information systems and expands the powers of the Consumer Rights Protection Agency under the Antimonopoly Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The Law now includes a detailed provision for returning and replacing the product; obliges the seller to have information about the product in Uzbek (description in other languages may be used in addition to the state language); restricts from changing the price on the same product depending on the form of payment.
