Packaging marking requirements for cigarette packets clarified: approvals must follow excise marking rules; month/year marking left to enforcing department. Approvals for cigarette packet wrappers and wholesale coverings will be granted in enforcement of existing Central Excise marking obligations: individual retail packets must display factory name and address, licence/registration number and trade brand, while wholesale packages must show batch/lot identification (if any), an annually starting running serial number, the number and quantity of retail packages, and kind and quality of goods. The Standards of Weights and Measures requirement to show month and year of manufacture is acknowledged but its form (printed or otherwise) and practical implementation are left for the enforcing department to determine.
