Finished cigarettes for distributors, duty free and ship chandlers

Tabaxis started as a distributor of finished cigarettes and still supplies licensed wholesalers, duty-free operators and ship chandlers with products from manufacturers we have worked with for years. We hold preferential shipping terms with many of these factories and arrange delivery, transit guarantees and documents.

Who we supply

We sell finished cigarettes exclusively to businesses that hold the licences their market requires: importers and distributors, duty-free operators, ship chandlers and bonded warehouse operators. Every transaction is checked for the buyer's licences, the destination's import rules and applicable sanctions and export-control lists before a contract is signed. We do not sell to consumers.

If you are interested in a product from one of these factories or from a manufacturer not listed here, we will study the request in detail and help you source it. We arrange the supply with a minimal commission, fast shipment and a set of additional services: transport, financial guarantees for opening the transit procedure, bonded storage and, where required, repackaging and relabelling for the destination market.

Documents and compliance

Shipments travel with full export documentation, certificates of origin and, where applicable, the track-and-trace and health-warning requirements of the destination. For the European Union we observe the Tobacco Products Directive and the traceability system; for duty-free and ship-supply channels we work with the relevant bonded warehouse regimes.
