Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 890 'On Approval of the Procedure for Labeling Alcoholic Beverages, Tobacco Products, and Liquids Used in Electronic Cigarettes, and on the Repeal of Certain Resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine' of 16 July 2025
Ukraine informs that the date of entry into force of the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 890 of 16 July 2025 'On Approval of the Procedure for Labeling Alcoholic Beverages, Tobacco Products, and Liquids Used in Electronic Cigarettes, and on the Repeal of Certain Resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine' has been amended from 01 January 2026 to 01 November 2026. This amendment was introduced by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 1756 of 26 December 2025 'On Amendments to Certain Resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine Regarding the Introduction of Electronic Traceability of the Circulation of Alcoholic Beverages, Tobacco Products and Liquids Used in Electronic Cigarettes'. This Resolution also amends paragraph 11 of the Procedure to allowing the minimum acceptable level of DataMatrix print quality to be assessed in accordance with either ISO/IEC 15415 (grade 2) or ISO/IEC 29158 (grade B), and establishes that paragraphs 25–27 and 29–32 of the previous Regulation on the Production, Storage, and Sale of Excise Tax Stamps, and the Labelling of Alcoholic Beverages, Tobacco Products, and Liquids Used in Electronic Cigarettes, approved by Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine Resolution No. 1251 of 27 December 2010, will remain in force until 01 May 2027 instead of 01 September 2026.
The Resolution approves a new procedure for labelling alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, liquids used in electronic cigarettes, which provides for the application of electronic excise stamps. Starting from 01 January 2026, these products will be labelled with electronic excise stamps featuring a graphical element (DataMatrix code) applied directly to the packaging. The code will be applied to each individual pack of tobacco products, bottle of alcoholic beverage or container of liquid used in electronic cigarettes. The introduction of electronic excise stamps will enhance the traceability of excisable goods throughout their circulation. Consumers will be able to access public information from the electronic circulation system for these goods by scanning the excise stamp. The previous Regulation on the Production, Storage, Sale of Excise Tax Stamps and the Labelling of Alcoholic Beverages, Tobacco Products and Liquids Used in Electronic Cigarettes, approved by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine Resolution No. 1251 of 27 December 2010, shall cease to be effective as of 01 January 2026, except for paragraphs 25–27 and 29–32, which will remain in force until 01 September 2026.
