Italy Imposes Vape E-Liquid Flavor Tax Stamp Deadline

The six-month extension period for selling e-cigarette liquids and flavors without a tax stamp has come to an end in Italy. As of Friday, November 1, all liquid products sold by authorized e-cigarette retailers must bear a tax stamp on the packaging. This regulation also applies to websites with a tax warehouse, which, according to a second rule, will no longer be allowed to sell nicotine-containing products starting from January 1, 2025.

Unauthorized Retailers Given Limited Time to Sell Stock

Retailers not authorized to sell smoking products, inhalable liquid products, and other products subject to consumption tax can sell their stock to the public until April 30, 2025. However, they must prove with a document bearing a certain date that they purchased the products before April 30, 2024. The final deadline to note is December 31, 2025, which is the deadline for disposing of flavors that comply with the tax stamp but do not yet meet the labeling regulations (safety warnings, telephone number of the anti-addiction center, etc.).

Penalties for Non-Compliance

Retailers who continue to sell liquid products without a tax stamp may face suspension of their authorization and, in the most serious cases, revocation with criminal charges for smuggling.
