Share of illegal import of cigarettes in the total
volume of cigarettes consumption in Uzbekistan
(2003)
According to the data of Ministry of Finance of
the Republic of Uzbekistan, in 2003, illegal
import of cigarettes comprised around 28,9%
In most countries, similar volume of illegally
trafficked cigarettes is observed, reaching
30%

Share of illegal import of cigarettes in the total
volume of cigarettes consumption in Uzbekistan
(2005)
Illegal import of cigarettes in the Republic of Uzbekistan comprises 10.4%,
illegal imports level of 28,9% cannot be confirmed

Conclusions of the economic review

Increase of retail and import prices for
cigarettes by 10%:
– Will increase rates of illegal trafficking by 13%, but
– Tax revenues to the budgets of the countries will
increase anyway (14%) despite the reduction of
the world consumption (1.1%) and loss of tax
revenues (5,5%) caused by trafficking.

Article 7. The Law «About licensing of certain
types of activity in the Republic of Uzbekistan»
«Licensed types of activity include those, rendering
which could violate rights and legal interests, harm
health of citizens and breach public safety, and which
can not be regulated by any other methods, but
licensing».
Consequently, production of ‘Nas’ can be referred to a
licensed type of activity, as its consumption can harm
health of the citizens.

‘Nas’ harm reduction




‘Nas’ quality standardization
Licensing of ‘Nas’ production and trade
Introduction of excise tax for ‘Nas’
Establishment of a systematic monitoring
Changing of adequate administrative and
criminal measures

Conclusion
Win-win situation both for the public health and the
economy in general
1. Increase of excise tax rates for tobacco products will
lead to:
Reduction of tobacco smoking, especially among
young people
Increase of budget revenues despite of expected
losses due to illegal trafficking
2. Regulating of production and trade of ‘Nas’ and its
taxation will lead to:
Limiting access of the youth to the ‘Nas’
Additional source of budget revenues will appear
