The Tobacco Directive 2001/37/EC published on 3 April 2014 details the need for all packaging units of tobacco products to be marked with a unique identifier to guarantee the traceability of these products. These identifiers will be formed by data that will allow determining information related to the manufacturing process and its further distribution to record all the movements carried out with any packaging unit.
Currently fine cut tobacco and cigarettes are already functioning with traceability. Next up in 2024 will be turn also for all cigars, shisha, snuff, chewing tobacco,…
Manufacturers located outside of the UE will need an economic operator (importer) to obtain the unique identifiers necessary for their production process.
