Registration process
Slovenia vape product registration
Slovenia follows the EU Tobacco Products Directive (2014/40/EU) for product notifications and enforces several national requirements, including a manual invoice request, regulatory review, and a strict flavor ban allowing only tobacco-related flavorings.
Step 1: Prepare the Submission
Using TPD PRO, compile your full product dataset in EU-CEG-compliant XML format:
Add Submitter and Manufacturer
Create Compositions using only permitted tobacco-related flavors (up to 16 approved ingredients)
Set up Presentations for the Slovenian market
Upload required documents: packaging, leaflet, emissions, tox reports
Export and validate all XML and attachments
Step 2: Submit via eTrustEx
Log in to the eTrustEx platform and upload your files in this order:
Submitter XML
Attachments (PDF files)
Submission XML
Wait for a “Success” status on each submission.
Step 3: Request Invoice from the Slovenian Authority
After submission, you must manually request an invoice by contacting the relevant Slovenian authority through the national tobacco portal:
This step is mandatory before your submission will be reviewed.
Step 4: Make Payment
Once the invoice is received, pay the required fee for each product. The authority will only begin their review after payment confirmation.
Step 5: Product Review & Corrections (if necessary)
After payment, Slovenian authorities will:
Review all data submitted
Notify you if there are errors, inconsistencies, or missing documents
Allow time for you to correct and resubmit the necessary parts
Once corrected, the full submission will be re-reviewed.
Step 6: Six-Month Notification Period
As per EU regulations, Slovenia requires a 6-month waiting period from the submission date. Products cannot be legally placed on the market before this period ends.
Step 7: Public Listing
After successful review and the end of the six-month period, the approved products will be listed on the official Slovenian portal:
This listing confirms the product is approved for sale in Slovenia.
Flavor Ban Notice
Slovenia enforces a strict flavor ban. Only 16 specific tobacco flavor ingredients are allowed in e-liquids. Any other flavors, including fruit, menthol, or dessert, are prohibited and will result in rejection.
