Guide — Warning Labels, Pack Rules and Age Restrictions
Packaging is where this product category is most heavily regulated. The rules below are the working summary for the three pilot markets; the importer's filing in each market fixes the exact wording.
Common elements in all three markets
- Statutory warning text on the pack, in prescribed wording, size and position
- Sale restricted to adults (18+) — on-pack age marks where prescribed
- Ingredient declaration on or with the pack
- Restrictions on artwork elements that regulators class as promotion
United Kingdom
Herbal products for smoking are notified with their ingredient lists, and packs carry the prescribed smoking warning. Importers confirm current wording and layout rules at notification.
Malaysia
Act 852 packaging and warning requirements apply, and retail presentation follows the Act's rules for smoking products. Because online sale is not permitted, pack and point-of-sale rules are planned together with the licensed retail channel.
United Arab Emirates
ECAS registration checks packaging conformity against the applicable GSO requirements. Where excise applies, the digital tax stamp is part of the pack process before retail sale.
Our artwork rule
Export artwork is produced per market, after the importer's registration or notification route is confirmed, and only from that market's prescribed texts. Domestic catalogue artwork is never reused as-is.
