The sale of tobacco products in Romania is strictly regulated and requires obtaining several licenses and authorizations to operate legally.

For distributors of tobacco products in Romania engaged in the import and export activities, the procedures are more complex, as they involve licenses for the import of tobacco in Romania and export, as well as certain approvals and customs declarations.

Additionally, any individual or legal entity intending to engage in activities such as tobacco import must be an authorized importer in Romania. Such a tobacco authorization is obtained from the Romanian Customs Authority based on an application accompanied by the necessary documents, including incorporation documents, criminal record of the administrators, a list of excise products, estimated quantities to be imported, and the NC code of the products.The Romanian law firm Pavel, Mărgărit & Associates recommends contacting a commercial lawyer in Romania or tobacco attorneys in Romania to inform you about all fiscal aspects, excise duties, tax levels, or existing pricing policies in the regulation of tobacco products in Romania and tobacco import in Romania.
