The short answer
CBD is illegal in Uzbekistan. The Ministry of Health's Pharmaceutical Industry Development Agency has not registered any cannabidiol medicine, and the 1999 narcotics law does not separate CBD from other cannabis-derived substances on its controlled list.
Imports of CBD oils, tinctures, vapes, and cosmetics are blocked at Tashkent International Airport and at land crossings. The State Customs Committee treats cannabidiol shipments as Schedule I narcotics, and offenders face prosecution under Articles 270, 273, or 246 of the Criminal Code depending on quantity and intent. Travelers carrying CBD risk arrest even with foreign prescriptions.
