Print27 January 2014
The Convenience Stores and Newsagents Association (CSNA) is reminding store owners and staff that all tobacco products provided by manufacturers and wholesalers since February of last year must have pictorial health warnings (PHW) on them.
After 31 January 2014, retailers will not permitted to sell any "text only" health warning or non-PHW stock.
For retailers to obtain credit from their supplier, it is vital that they remove any non-PHW or text only stock they may have in the store before 31 January and seek appropriate actions from the supplier. Failure to do this could lead to a retailer being refused credit.
The association outlines the following measures for specific suppliers:
Players – Will not accept returns after 31 January. Make arrangements with your Players rep to uplift.
BAT/JTI – Remove stock on or before 31st January. Return for credit on next journey.
Peterson – Return any stock to cash and carry when it will be uplifted by Peterson rep. Return stock with your account details. Seek credit from C&C if purchase was made through them.
Ampersand – Any Ampersand stock can have existing product "stickered over" by Ampersand reps.
TVL – Contact your local rep to organise uplift
