Details
This measure will give the UK full regulatory control of the traceability and security features schemes which apply to tobacco products in the UK.
It will enable the continued operation of a tobacco track and trace system in the UK, following the end of the transition period.
The standalone system in the UK will track tobacco products manufactured in, or imported into, the UK, to the first retailer, using a unique identifier code associated with every packet. The code will be scanned throughout the supply chain and the data will be submitted to a new gateway in the UK.
For tobacco products in Northern Ireland, data will be submitted to the new gateway and to the EU system.
