Article 63 of the Public Health Law imposes a penalty of imprisonment for not less than three months and not exceeding six months and a fine of not less than 1,000 dinars and not more than 3,000 dinars on any person or entity that produces, imports, or markets a tobacco product in contravention of packaging and labeling requirements.

FCTC Art. 11 Guidelines para. 56 provides that: “Parties should specify a range of fines or other penalties commensurate with the severity of the violation and whether it is a repeat violation.” The law imposes the same fines and penalties on manufacturers, importers, wholesalers and retailers for non-compliance with packaging and labeling requirements. The drafters of the law should consider imposing high fines and penalties for more severe violations, for example on manufacturers, importers, or wholesalers for producing or distributing non-compliant tobacco products. In addition, the drafters of the law should consider introducing other penalties such as suspension, limitation, or cancellation of business and import licenses, in accordance with FCTC Art. 11 Guidelines para. 57.
