Dear,

I am contacting you on behalf of Elda Ltd.

Can you send me what are the new regulations for e-liquids in Estonia from 01.01.2025.

We have informtion that submitting TPD notification in Estonia will be costly from start 2025.

It is 5000 EUR fee + 975 EUR + 240 EUR per each ingredient in the submission.

As taking the sample of base liquid which is the lowest fee, the notification fee is following:

5000 EUR + 975 EUR + 960 = 6935 EUR.

Can you tell me is this true?

Thank you in advance for your kind assistance!

Kind regards,
