Tobacco smuggling 2.0 for IQOS on eBay The "Rights Desk": ready exposed to the Guardia di Finanza, the Customs and Monopolies Agency so that they can take the appropriate remediesOn the e-commerce portal "eBay.it" the presence of multiple offers of tobacco products called "IQOS Stick Heets" / "IQOS tabak stick" / "IQOS heat stick" and the like was found.These advertisements relate to products containing tobacco which, based on the photos published by the sellers themselves, are characterized by writing in a foreign language and the absence of the stamp of the Customs and Monopoly Agency.From the characteristics of the offers it is clear that the products come from different states, both EU and non-EU members (in particular Greece, Germany, Poland, Serbia, United Kingdom, etc.), and are sold in some cases at a lower price than expected. in the AAMS price list for "INHALATION TOBACCO WITHOUT COMBUSTION".The offer and marketing of these products online is in contrast with the provisions on the import and marketing of manufactured tobaccos and with the rules on the smuggling of foreign tobaccos (Legislative Decree 26 October 1995, n.504, art. 291 bis et seq. . TULD).The cross-border sale of these products is also in contrast with art.19 of Legislative Decree 6 of 2016. We remind you that based on art.art.293 TULD "for the attempted smuggling the same penalty is applied as for the crime committed".Therefore, the asset does not need to be physically purchased to integrate the illegal offense, the mere publication of the online ad is enough for this purpose.As reported by Dr. Gennaro Esposito, an expert on the subject, the Ebay Customerhelp has been informed of the presence of these offers and has been requested to remove them.More than a month after the first report, however, these announcements continue to be accessible on the Italian portal.With this in mind, Giovanni D'Agata, president of the "Rights Desk", announces that as an association that has been fighting for years, among its many activities, also against the problems connected to smoking, we have decided to present, therefore, a formal statement to the Guardia di Finanza and the Customs and Monopolies Agency to take appropriate remedies.
