Italy to require tax labels on e-cigarette liquids from November
Italy requires tax labels on e-cigarette liquids starting November 1; online nicotine sales face bans and licensing risks starting January 2025.

All e-cigarette liquids sold in authorized Italian stores will have to carry a tax label from November 1, according to an October 31 report by Sigmagazine, which aims to tighten regulation of e-liquids.

 

This rule also applies to e-commerce sites with tax warehouses, but a separate regulation will ban these sites from selling nicotine products from January 1, 2025.

 

Retailers without a license to sell tobacco products, inhalable vapor products, or other taxable items may sell remaining stock to the public until April 30, 2025, provided they can prove the products were purchased before April 30, 2024. Another key date is December 31, 2025, by which any remaining stock that meets tax label requirements but lacks new label features (e.g., safety warnings, addiction helpline numbers) must be disposed of.

 

Retailers who continue selling unlabeled e-cigarette liquids risk license suspension and, in severe cases, license revocation and criminal charges for smuggling violations.
