Services
Like other certifying bodies, the CUD combats piracy in the Uruguayan music industry. In 2008, the Uruguayan authorities approved law number 18,341 promoted by this company and supported by the Executive Power, which eliminates the Value-added tax (VAT) from CDs and DVDs that contain musical and film productions, starting to be marketed in that country without the percentage of 22% added. The objective of the norm was to promote the growth of the recording sector and achieve a reduction in the price of copies of albums for the public.[2]
CUD is also the national International Standard Recording Code (ISRC) agency.[3]

Sales certificates
The CUD awards certificates for music releases in Uruguay. Certificates are usually awarded on the basis of the number of units the release has shipped, rather than the number it has sold.
