Teema: Vs: Legal regulations for herbal heated tobacco
Dear Audrey,
Thank you for your inquiry regarding herbal heated products in Estonia.
According to the Estonian Tobacco Act <https://www.riigiteataja.ee/en/eli/502122024002/consolide> , your product- — a nicotine-containing herbal heated stick that does not contain tobacco- is considered a product related to a tobacco product, as it imitates the use of tobacco (Section 31(1)(1)).
Flavour ban:
From 31 January 2026, flavoured heated tobacco products will be banned in Estonia. Herbal heated products that contain nicotine but no tobacco are not currently subject to this ban. Future legal changes may still affect them.
Key requirements:
* Packaging must bear a tax stamp (Section 1(2)).
* An activity notice must be submitted before selling the product in retail, wholesale, or catering (Section 18).
* Distance sales to Estonia are prohibited (Section 312).
* Restrictions apply to promotion and sponsorship (Sections 25 and 26).
Additional requirements:
1. Excise duty must be paid to the Estonian Tax and Customs Board under the Alcohol, Tobacco, Fuel and Electricity Excise Duty Act.
2. Labelling and packaging must comply with the CLP Regulation (Reg. (EC) No 1272/2008), Title III. The label must match the safety data sheet (section 2.2).
3. Poison centre notification via the ECHA portal is required if the product is classified as hazardous.
All information on packaging, labels, and the safety data sheet must be in Estonian.
CLP guidance:
* CLP Regulation <https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/ET/TXT/?qid=1524226676976&uri=CELEX:02008R1272-20180301>
* ECHA labelling <https://echa.europa.eu/en/regulations/clp/labelling>
* ECHA safety data sheets <https://echa.europa.eu/view-article/-/journal_content/title/guidance-on-the-compilation-of-safety-data-sheets>

Dear Health Board,
Hope you are doing well,
I am a herbal heated tobacco supplier from China. I am writing this email to inquire about Estonia's regulations on herbal heated tobacco. Our product is herbal heated tobacco, which does not contain tobacco (but contain nicotine) and does not require burning. Do such products need to follow the flavor ban like tobacco products?
Can you please help cite relevant legislation? Looking forward to your reply.
