With the new e-cigarette regulations taking effect in June, the importation and manufacturing of atomized nicotine and non-nicotine products as well as new tobacco products will next have to go through the DTI certification process. This means that products must bear the Philippine Standard (PS) mark and Import Commodity Clearance (ICC) label before they can be sold in the Philippine market.

The Philippine Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) will require all e-cigarette products to be registered with the agency.

Speaking at a forum in Makati, Philippine DTI Undersecretary Amanda Nograles said with the new e-cigarette regulations taking effect in June, the importation and manufacturing of atomized nicotine and non-nicotine products as well as new tobacco products will next have to go through the DTI certification process. This means that products must bear the Philippine Standard (PS) mark and Import Commodity Clearance (ICC) label before they can be sold in the Philippine market.

At least three companies have already applied for registration, Nograles said, urging others to also start the process as registration may take some time.

She explained that starting this June is a transition period during which all companies will be allowed to sell their existing inventory, and after January 5, 2025 there will be a market clearing where e-cigarette products without the PS mark and ICC label will not be allowed to be in the market.

The Philippine Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) will continue to monitor stores to ensure that minors do not purchase e-cigarette products. They will also check for the presence of cannabis oil in e-cigarettes.

The Philippine Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) will put tax stamps on e-cigarette products, similar to those on imported cigarettes and alcoholic beverages, starting next week. The head of the Field Operations Division for Large Taxpayers of the Bureau of Internal Revenue of the Philippines said, "The mandatory taxation of e-cigarette products starting June 1 will not only help the country's tax revenue, but it will also be of great benefit to the e-cigarette companies or the e-cigarette industry."
