How to choose an IKPU code: general code or brand code

First, decide what you’re selling

A cappuccino made by a barista takes the catering code 10202001010000002; a box of cappuccino sachets on a shelf is a product. A haircut is a service; hair clippers are a product. Tasnif labels every result as a product, a service or a dish made in a café.

The first 11 digits matter most

An IKPU code has 17 digits. The first 11 are the type of product: group, class, position and subposition. The last six are the brand and properties.

For a code that doesn’t match what was sold, the Tax Code (Article 223) sets a fine of 1% of the goods’ value on the receipt or invoice. And the regulation on the catalog counts a code as not matching when its first 11 digits differ. So the code of a “shampoo + conditioner” gift set on a bottle of shampoo is a mistake even if the brand is the same: a gift set and a shampoo are different types of product.

General codes and brand codes

• A general code is a type of product with no brand, such as 03305005001000000 «Шампунь (всех видов)», “shampoo (all kinds)”. It usually ends in six zeros, but not always: for coffee drinks made in a café it’s 10202001010000002.
• A brand code is one specific product: brand, line, size. For example, 03305005001495007 is Clear detox daily shampoo, 200 ml. These codes are usually created for products with a barcode, and the code’s card shows it: here, 8714100757147.

A brand code fits only a product with the same barcode

Paste the barcode from the package into the search.

• A code with that barcode comes up: that’s your product’s code. For such a product you need exactly that code, all 17 digits, not just the first 11.
• The barcode isn’t in the catalog: your product has no code of its own, even if the search shows products of the same brand. Use the general code: type what the product is (“shampoo”, “washing powder”) and pick a code with no brand.

The official catalog says the same: general codes may be used when the catalog has no identical product. The same Clear detox in a 400 ml bottle is no longer identical: it has its own code, 03305005001495008, and its own barcode.

Building materials and marked goods

• Since 1 July 2026, 423 general codes for building materials can’t be used on invoices. You need a detailed code, often with a size: 03917001006000255, for example, is a polypropylene reducing coupling, 25×20 mm. New codes for building materials are requested through mkinfo.uz.
• Cigarettes, alcohol, beer, medicines and other goods under mandatory digital marking are sold only with their own IKPU code: it is tied to the marking code, and the Tax Committee checks that the two match on receipts.

If you resell goods

The code on your receipt must match what you bought, so the simplest source is your supplier’s electronic invoice. Your cash register’s service centre can set it up so codes from incoming invoices go into the register automatically. If the code on the invoice is wrong, ask the supplier to correct it.

Units and packages

Next to the IKPU code, receipts and invoices show a unit or package from the catalog: what you sell in, such as pieces, litres or a 250 ml bottle. If a code has only one unit, that’s the one to use. If your package isn’t listed, you can add it at tasnif.soliq.uz after signing in with an electronic signature. Tasnif shows every package code on the code’s card.

No code, or a wrong one already on a receipt

• No suitable code: request one at tasnif.soliq.uz. Sign in with an electronic signature and send a request with the product’s name, brand, description, customs (HS) code, barcode, unit and a photo. Requests are reviewed within three working days.
• A wrong code on a receipt can be corrected in the taxpayer’s personal account, up to the VAT or turnover tax filing deadline for the month the mistake was found.
• On an invoice the code can’t be changed: the line with the wrong code is zeroed out with a corrected invoice, and a new invoice is issued with the right code.

Questions about codes go to the Tax Committee’s call centre: 1198.

Important

Tasnif by Krafta is an unofficial service, and this article isn’t accounting advice. The rules are as of October 2026 and they change, so check the code against the official catalog at tasnif.soliq.uz before you issue a receipt.
