Authorization as an Importer of Electronic Cigarettes in the EU for a Spanish Company

Challenge

A national distributor aimed to import electronic cigarettes for sale in Europe after establishing an agreement with a partner in Asia. The complexity of the regulations and administrative requirements made it difficult to launch the new business line, causing significant delays.

Omnia’s Solution

At Omnia Aduanas, we proposed comprehensive project management from obtaining authorization under EU regulations to customs declarations once shipments began. Key actions included:

• Thorough review of applicable European regulations, including the CLP Regulation and the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD).
• Adjustment of safety data sheets and labeling (CLP) in accordance with European standards.
• Detailed registration of mixtures and ingredients on the EU-CEG platform for each product to be marketed.
• Generation and validation of the UFI code (Unique Formula Identifier) for product traceability.
• Submission and monitoring of all required documentation with Health Authorities through official platforms.
• Processing of RoHS / WEEE compliance.

Result

The client successfully obtained authorization as an importer of electronic cigarettes, reducing processing times and starting product distribution without incidents.
