Datos obtenidos: 2025.   Página actualizada: 2025-03-31

En Egipto, los productos de tabaco calentado (HTP, por sus siglas en inglés) no están prohibidos por ley. Sin embargo, existen varias normativas que regulan estos productos: los fabricantes deben incluir una advertencia sanitaria en el envase, la edad mínima para su compra es de 18 años y el contenido de nicotina debe ser inferior al 3,5 % en peso seco. El tipo impositivo general es de 1.400 EGP (aproximadamente 43 EUR) por kilogramo de tabaco. Además, está prohibida toda forma de publicidad de estos productos. No se dispone de información específica sobre la posibilidad de importar estos productos para uso personal. Si tiene alguna experiencia directa al respecto, le rogamos que la comparta con el equipo de GSTHR.
