Anisotropic disordered system are studied in this work within the random barrier model. In such systems the transition probabilities in different directions have different probability density functions. The frequency-dependent conductivity at low temperatures is obtained using an effective medium approximation. It is shown that the isotropic universal ac-conduction law, $\sigma \ln \sigma=u$, is recovered if properly scaled conductivity ($\sigma$) and frequency ($u$) variables are used.
