PC 2005-1131 Regulations Amending the Stamping and Marking of Tobacco Products Regulations

The Stamping and Marking of Tobacco Products Regulations, in part, give effect to the provisions of subsection 38(3) of the Excise Act, 2001 which allows certain tobacco products to be prescribed for the purposes of exempting them from the stamping and marking requirements of the Act. Subsection 38(3) of the Act sets out the conditions applicable to the exemption from the Act’s stamping and marking requirements. For the exemption to apply, the tobacco product must be named in these regulations and it cannot be “commonly sold in Canada”.
