According to the latest changes in Bulgarian legislation and amendments to the Excise Duty and Tax Warehouses Act, e-cigarette liquids containing nicotine, as well as those without nicotine, are considered tobacco products. Accordingly, production, distribution, and sale of these liquids require the appropriate registrations in accordance with the Excise Duty and Tax Warehouses Act.
To issue a permit for trade in tobacco products according to a sample, according to Annex 19b of the PPZADS, according to Art. 90e, para. 1 of the Act on Excises and Tax Warehouses (ZADS), in connection with Art. 117, para. 1 of the Regulations for the Implementation of the Law on Excises and Tax Warehouses (PPZADS), it is necessary to issue documents, which you can find at the following link, which leads to the website of the customs agency.
Importers are obliged to notify the competent authorities of the Member States about their products (Article 20, paragraph 2). The notification must include information on ingredients and emissions, toxicological data, information on nicotine doses and absorption, and a description of the product and manufacturing processes.
The DTI sets maximum values for the amount of nicotine in electronic cigarettes and refillable containers intended for consumers. E-cigarette liquid must not contain more than 20 mg/ml nicotine (Article 20, paragraph 3, letter b), the volume of tanks and cartridges must not exceed 2 ml, and that of refillable containers must be no more of 10 ml (Article 20, paragraph 3, letter a).
