Registration process
Greece vape product registration
Greece follows the EU Tobacco Products Directive (2014/40/EU) for the notification of e-cigarettes, refill containers, and nicotine-containing products. The process includes submission via the EU-CEG system and a mandatory six-month notification period before products can legally be sold on the market.
Step 1: Prepare the Submission
Using TPD PRO, compile your product data in EU-CEG-compliant XML format:
Create Submitter and Manufacturer profiles
Build Compositions with accurate ingredient and toxicological data
Set up Presentations for the Greek market
Upload required documents, including packaging, leaflet, emission tests, and toxicological files
Validate and export all XML files
Step 2: Submit via eTrustEx
Log in to the eTrustEx platform and upload files in the correct sequence:
Submitter XML
Attachments (PDFs)
Submission XML
Each file must receive a “Success” response to be considered complete.
Step 3: Six-Month Notification Period
After submission, Greece enforces a six-month waiting period before the product can be placed on the market. No sales or public availability is permitted during this time.
Step 4: Public Listing
Once the waiting period is over and the submission is validated, approved products are listed on the official website of the Greek Ministry of Health:
This listing confirms that the product is legally authorized for sale in Greece.
