Cigarette retail in tobacco products is a very common type of business all over the world. But for its organization and maintenance, you definitely need a license.
In this article we will talk about obtaining a license for retail trade in tobacco products – that is, the sale of such products to individuals for personal use.
The very term “tobacco products” includes filter and non-filter cigarettes, cigars, cigarillos, cigarettes, tobacco of any kind.
GET THE CIGARETTE RETAIL LICENSE

- Pay its cost. It is formed depending on the number of outlets and their location.
This is a simple and convenient condition for all business owners. After all, you get one license at once for all outlets that you own. The essence of this rule is simple: the more outlets you have, the higher the cost of the license.
Also, the price varies depending on where you sell tobacco products – in cities, villages or urban-type villages.
- Collect the necessary documents.
The list of documents includes:
- copy of the extract from the Unified State Register. It confirms that your company is registered or you are registered as a private entrepreneur;
- license payment receipt;
- a document that confirms the presence of the outlet. For example, a lease of premises.
If you have collected all the necessary documents, the license will be issued within 10 business days.
