DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Q&A: How Cross-Border Distance Sales Are Regulated Across The EU" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.
Based on questions that have arisen in conversations with the e-cigarette industry, our Q&A considers the different regulatory problems that may arise with cross-border distance marketing within the EU or from other countries to Europe.
- The TPD does not prohibit selling e-cigarette products at a distance between different countries but leaves it up to member states' discretion.
- Companies based in a country that has banned cross-border sales but permits domestic sales may in some cases sell their products to other countries as well as within their own.
- There is some scope for companies to offer products online where online sales are banned - as long as they are collected in-store.
- B2B sales are not affected by online sales bans.
- In most countries, non-nicotine products can still be sold online.
- Some member states do not allow companies to have a website visible to consumers or a social media presence.
- Online retailers must comply with national excise tax requirements.
