Provision of the UK Tobacco Track and Trace System

The UK ratified the WHO Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products in 2018. The Protocol requires parties to implement a traceability system for tobacco products manufactured in or imported into their territory, taking into account regional specific needs and available best practice.

The provider's main responsibilities will be to deliver a:

-ID issuer service, to ensure tobacco products manufactured in or imported into the UK are marked with a unique identifier

-Data repository and router to store data relating to products and which is accessible to HMRC.
