THE ESSENCE AND ECONOMIC SIGNIFICANCE OF THE DIGITAL MARKING SYSTEM

Abstract

This study analyzes the theoretical and methodological foundations as well as the practical significance of introducing a system of mandatory digital labeling of goods in the Republic of Uzbekistan. The essence of digital labeling has been scientifically substantiated, namely its role in ensuring full traceability of goods, guaranteeing their authenticity and quality, and creating a transparent information environment for tax and customs authorities. Furthermore, the economic importance of this system has been highlighted, particularly its effectiveness in increasing state budget revenues, reducing the shadow economy, limiting the circulation of counterfeit products, protecting consumer rights, and deepening the processes of digital transformation in the national economy. A comparative analysis has also been conducted based on international experience.
