$1,750.00

Description

Oral tobacco is banned in Kuwait and is listed on the List of prohibited goods. Since nicotine pouches are not addressed in tobacco legislation, they therefore fall under the general consumer regulations.

Kuwait allowed the import and sale of heated tobacco in 2016. It is largely treated as traditional tobacco. Two regulations are currently being developed – the national standard and the regional standard. The timeframe for the adoption of the proposed national standard has still not been disclosed.

This two-report bundle provides a regulatory overview of the current legal framework for oral tobacco, nicotine pouches and heated tobacco products in Kuwait, covering all policy areas.
