Finland vape product registration

In Finland, product notification for e-cigarettes, refill containers, and nicotine-containing products follows the EU Tobacco Products Directive (2014/40/EU), but also includes an additional fee and invoicing process before public listing.

Step 1: Prepare the Submission Data

Using TPD PRO, prepare all necessary product information in EU-CEG - compliant XML format:

  • Submitter and Manufacturer details

  • Composition with toxicological and emissions data

  • Presentation(s) for the Finnish market

  • Attachments including packaging, leaflet, and testing files

Step 2: Submit via eTrustEx

Submit your files through the eTrustEx platform in the following order:

  1. Submitter XML (only once)

  2. Attachments (PDF files)

  3. Product Submission XML

Wait for Success confirmation after each upload.

Step 3: Wait for Invoicing

After a successful submission, the Finnish supervisory authority (Valvira) will send an invoice for the registration.

  • This invoice is typically issued during the 6-month notification period

  • Payment is required for the submission to be fully processed

⚠️ Make sure to monitor your contact email and pay promptly to avoid delays.

Step 4: 6-Month Notification Period

As per EU rules, Finland enforces a 6-month waiting period from the date of submission before the product may legally be placed on the market.

Step 5: Public Listing

After successful submission and payment, the product will be published in Finland’s public product registry:

👉 tupakkarekisteri.valvira.fi

This registry lists all tobacco and nicotine products authorized for sale in Finland.

Summary

To sell vaping or nicotine products in Finland:

  • Submit via EU-CEG using validated XML files

  • Pay the official Valvira invoice during the 6-month period (300 EUR per submission)

  • Wait for approval and public listing on the official registry

Proper preparation via platforms like TPD PRO ensures a smooth and compliant process.
