What does TPD traceability mean?

Individual products (cigarette/tobacco packages) are marked with a unique code during production, and then aggregated into larger packing units. Each packing unit (cartus, bax, pallet) is also marked with a unique code.

From production to entry into retail/retail stores, all movements and modifications to uniquely identified packaging units must be reported to the EU Secondary Database within a specific period of time.

Operational events requiring reporting are:

  • reception (scan-in
  • disaggregation
  • picking
  • scan-out
  • cross-docking
  • return
  • destruction
  • sales-out registration (cash & carry, van-sales, automatic sales loading... etc.)
  • processing of returns (made at package level and possible aggregation)
  • inventory

Transactional events must also be reported for delivery processes:

  • Sales order/delivery provision information (single customer code, unique customer work point code, mode of transport and vehicle number)
  • Invoice Information (Order Information / Delivery Provision + Invoice Value)
  • Receipt Information

Economic Operators Involved in the Traceability Process

Mandatory full traceability involves the entire distribution chain: manufacturers, distributors, wholesale and cash&carry operators, logistics service providers that manage warehouses for distributors and retailers and retailers that have their own distribution warehouses and distribute to their own network of stores.
