Vaping Products Duty will apply to all vaping liquids manufactured in, or imported into, the UK, whether they contain nicotine or not. Products imported into the UK from 1st October 2026 must meet the vaping duty stamp requirements.
Members handling vaping products should check whether they need HMRC approval, understand when Vaping Products Duty is due, and make sure their systems and processes are ready.
Overseas manufacturers that want to supply vaping products to the UK must appoint an approved UK representative.
Approved UK representatives and warehousekeepers should understand the transitional and digital duty stamp arrangements, including when stamps can be bought, affixed and used on products released to market.
Eligible unstamped stock imported into the UK before 1 October 2026 can continue to be bought and sold until 31st March 2027. Products imported from 1st October 2026 must meet the duty stamp requirements.
