I want to sell vapes and pods in the UK and need guidance on the required documentation

Hello,

Hope everyone is doing great.

How can I sell these items freely on Amazon and other marketplaces?

Thanks.

As far as I know, these are illegal now in the UK, but it’s not a category I’ve ever looked into, so I can’t really advise. What research have you done?

To sell vapes and pods in the UK legally, you must comply with the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016. This includes submitting your products for notification to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) via their EU Common Entry Gate (EU-CEG) system, ensuring your products meet packaging, labeling, and advertising restrictions, and maintaining a nicotine content limit (max 20 mg/ml) and container volume limits (2 ml for pods, 10 ml for e-liquids). Amazon also requires your products to be listed under the correct category and may ask for compliance documentation such as MHRA approval, safety data sheets, and product images with appropriate health warnings. It’s strongly recommended to consult a compliance expert or solicitor experienced in vape product regulation to ensure all documentation and packaging requirements are met before listing.

Amazon support indicated that you can sell, but only when your account is eligible. My account is eligible, but I want to know if there is any government documentation regarding this category, as my supplier is also providing a Letter of Authorization.

Hello,

If you’re planning to sell vapes and pods in the UK, here’s a focused overview of the required compliance documentation and steps you must complete to operate legally:

1. Product Notification to MHRA (Regulatory Submission)

  • Mandatory Submission for Producers: Under the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations (TRPR) 2016, anyone who manufactures, imports, or rebrands nicotine-containing vaping products must notify them to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). This includes all components such as devices, e-liquids, and pods.
