Specifics of transporting tobacco products
Tobacco transportation has its own nuances. They need to be taken into account when organizing freight transport:
- Tobacco products are perishable goods that require certain storage and transportation conditions. It is necessary to comply with the temperature and humidity conditions and avoid direct sunlight.
- Cigarettes, cigarettes, tobacco are goods with an intense smell. To preserve the aroma and taste of the products, sealed packages and special containers are used.
- Tobacco products are classified as excisable goods. Their delivery requires additional permits, licences, and payment of excise duties.
- Cigarettes, cigars, and smoking mixtures are fragile goods that require careful handling during loading, unloading, and transportation to avoid damage.

Imports to the European Union require customs clearance. Basic rules and requirements:
- Prepare a package of documents for declaring cigarettes for transport - invoice, packing list, quality certificates, import permits for excisable goods.
