Update to Alcohol and Tobacco Excise
Alcohol excise
The February 2025 alcohol excise updates can now be seen on CDS.
Tobacco excise – Electronic cigarettes and similar vaporizing devices
As of 15th December 2024, to ensure the correct excise is paid when importing under commodity ‘8543400000’ - Electronic cigarettes and similar vaporizing devices, Traders must declare:
- ‘X633’ when the product is imported with tobacco. or
- ‘X640’ when the product is imported without tobacco (no excise duty will be calculated as the device is not liable for excise).
New tobacco measurement units ‘KTC’ and ‘CTG’ must also be declared whenever ‘X633’ is declared.
However, the tobacco quantity is only required for commodity code 8543400000.
Incorrect declarations will be rejected if the allowed codes and excise measurement units are not correctly applied.
