Security stamps introduced on 20.5.2019 for duty free tobacco goods

According to new EU rules, tobacco goods have to be affixed a security label when the packages are sold. For packages submitted to the normal tobacco duty, the ordinary banderoles will be used as security labels in Denmark. However, for duty free tobacco goods sold in air ports etc., new security labels are introduced on 20.5.2019. They are printed with the usual design for banderoles, however in a green color and with the words "duty free".



Examples of security labels of type VI from 2019. From 2020 the security labels are printed with a design according to type VII. Security labels for cigarettes and cigarette tobacco (fine cut tobacco) are later followed by labels for pipe tobacco, which will be introduced on 20.5.2024.
