Lithuania vape product registration

Lithuania follows the EU Tobacco Products Directive (2014/40/EU) for notifying e-cigarettes, refill containers, and nicotine-containing products. While the overall process is similar to Malta, Lithuania introduces two key national specifics: rapid post-submission checks and a strict flavor ban.

Step 1: Prepare the Submission

Use TPD PRO to compile all required product data in full EU-CEG XML format:

  • Submitter and Manufacturer information

  • Ingredient-level Composition with toxicological data

  • Presentations for the Lithuanian market

  • Attach supporting documentation (leaflet, emissions, tox data, packaging)

  • Export validated XML files

Step 2: Submit via eTrustEx

Use the eTrustEx portal to send the following files in sequence:

  1. Submitter XML

  2. Attachments (PDF files)

  3. Submission XML

Each submission must receive a "Success" status from the system.

Step 3: Early Product Review

Unlike most countries, Lithuania typically reviews product data within a few days of submission. If any issues are identified, the regulatory authority will notify the Submitter directly with a request to correct and resubmit specific data.

This makes accuracy and completeness critical at the time of the initial submission.

Step 4: Flavor Ban Requirements

Lithuania enforces a strict flavor ban. Only tobacco-flavored e-liquids are permitted, and only 16 specific flavoring ingredients are allowed in e-liquid compositions.

Products containing any other flavorings or aromatic substances will be rejected. Always verify your ingredients against the approved list before submission.

Step 5: Six-Month Notification Period

Lithuania still applies the standard six-month waiting period before a notified product can be placed on the market, even if checks are completed earlier.

Step 6: Public Listing

Once the product passes inspection and the six-month period has elapsed, it will be listed on the official Lithuanian government website.

Summary

To register products in Lithuania:

  • Submit via TPD PRO and eTrustEx

  • Expect an early review and possible correction request

  • Ensure the product contains only approved tobacco-related flavorings

  • Observe the six-month waiting period

  • Approved products will be published on the government site
