Formally, there are no major legal limitations on selling U.S. products and services in Uzbekistan.  Official limits on foreign ownership remain in some industries considered as strategic in terms of national security.  Lesser restrictions also apply to the media, finance, insurance, and travel industries.  Legislation requires companies to hire Uzbek nationals for specific positions in banking and auditing companies.  The chief accountant must be an Uzbek national, as must the CEO or at least one member of the Board of Directors.  Only Uzbek nationals can be tour guides.
