The Vape Shop Is Now HMRC Approved as an E-Liquid Manufacturer

We are pleased to announce that The Vape Shop has now been approved by HMRC as an e-liquid manufacturer under the new Vaping Products Duty system.

This is an important step for us as a business, and something we are genuinely proud of.

The new rules for the UK vape industry are a major change, especially for businesses that manufacture e-liquids. It is not just a simple form or a quick registration. The approval process involves detailed checks, proper record keeping, clear procedures, stock control, product traceability and suitable business controls.

After going through that process, we are pleased to say that we have been approved.

For us, this feels like a real achievement. We have worked hard over many years to build a proper vape business, and this approval shows that we have taken the new requirements seriously and put the right systems in place to continue operating correctly.

What this means for our customers

The most important message is simple:

We are continuing.

Our customers will still be able to come to The Vape Shop for the same quality e-liquids, flavours, advice and service they already know us for.

The approval means we can continue manufacturing e-liquids under the new HMRC Vaping Products Duty system, with the proper controls and records in place.

Behind the scenes, this includes things like:

• recording ingredients when they come in;
• keeping production and batch records;
• tracking finished products;
• managing stock correctly;
• following HMRC requirements;
• keeping clear records for duty and compliance purposes.

Most customers will not see all of this day to day, but it matters because it shows the business is operating properly under the new system.

The same quality e-liquids, with stronger controls behind the scenes

The Vape Shop has always focused on quality, service and customer trust.

We are not a large anonymous factory. We are a long-established vape shop that understands our customers and takes care with what we supply.

Our e-liquids will continue to be made with the same focus on flavour, consistency and reliability. The difference now is that the compliance side of the business has become more formal because of the new duty rules.

That means more records, more checks and more traceability behind the scenes.

For customers, this should give extra confidence that the products you buy from us are being handled by a business that has gone through the correct process and been approved to continue.

A big change for the whole UK vape market

The new HMRC Vaping Products Duty rules affect the whole UK vape industry.

This is not something that only applies to one shop, one brand or one part of the market. Relevant vape businesses across the country now have to deal with the new requirements.

As these changes come in, customers may notice differences across the market, including price changes, product availability changes and changes in how some businesses operate.

Our aim is to keep things as clear and straightforward as possible.

We want our customers to know that we have taken the necessary steps, completed the approval process, and are ready to continue supplying the e-liquids and products they rely on.

Thank you to our customers

We would like to thank all of our customers for their continued support.

Running a vape business in the UK has changed a lot over the years, and the new HMRC duty system is one of the biggest changes the industry has faced.

But our commitment remains the same.

We will continue to offer:

• quality e-liquids;
• helpful advice;
• reliable service;
• proper products;
• a vape shop you can trust.

We are proud to have received HMRC approval as an e-liquid manufacturer, and we are looking forward to continuing to serve our customers under the new system.

The Vape Shop is approved, prepared and continuing forward.
