4.1.3 Tobacco Regulations

Beside taxation (including the EMCS) and trade discussed above, the legal framework related to illicit trade in tobacco products includes the regulation of tobacco manufacturers, the licensing of wholesale and retail sellers, the regulation of raw tobacco, tobacco machinery licensing, as well as a number of requirements resulting from the EU Tobacco Products Directive. The latter are analysed in a separate section. The purpose of these instruments is to support tobacco control policies and protect the national budget by preventing tax evasion through illicit trade.

Regulation of Tobacco Manufacturers

Although tobacco manufacturing has ceased in the UK, tobacco manufacturers who supply the UK market must comply with the full range of relevant legislation, including tobacco product regulations, as set out in the Standardised Packaging of Tobacco Products Regulations 2015 and the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016. Both pieces of legislation implement EU Directive 2014/40.42
