Information and updates on Brexit

 

The UK is no longer a member of the EU. In this section, we include useful information to help importers, retailers and manufacturers adapt to the regulatory changes brought about by the UK leaving the EU.

 

The primary focus will be on e-cigarette, cosmetics and cannabis regulation but may also include medicine and electrical and battery regulations.

The latest

 

Updated: 13th April 2021

 

What has happened? 

 

Since the 1st January 2021, the UK is no longer an EU member state and, generally, EU rules no longer apply.

 

So what rules apply after 1st January 2021? The UK has largely adopted the same regulatory framework it had before it left. So regulations have not changed that much – but what has changed is the way in which data i.e. technical dossiers are submitted to the UK authority, along with legal entities such as Responsible Person.
