Disclosure Requirements
Disclosure by manufacturers and importers of cigarettes to government authorities of information on the contents and/or ingredients used in the manufacture of their cigarettes
Ministry of Health
The law requires manufacturers and importers to provide such information about the product and its emissions to the Minister and the public as may be prescribed, in the prescribed manner and within the prescribed time. However, no regulations detailing this provision have been issued to date. As a result, it is unclear whether the “information about the product” will include disclosures of contents and ingredients. Until further details are issued, the regulatory status code “Not Required” is given.
To align with FCTC Art. 10 and the FCTC Arts. 9 & 10 Partial Guidelines, the law should require disclosure by manufacturers and importers to government authorities of information on the contents and/or ingredients used in the manufacture of their cigarettes.
