Cigarette Advertising and Promotional Restriction in Taiwan (cont'd)
Taiwan's general application rules for the importation of foreign cigarettes, wine, and beer include the following marketing restrictions on imported cigarettes:
Cigarette samples are limited to stick-by-stick distribution. Cigarette promotional activities are limited to displays, signs, posters, sample or gift distribution, and leaflet distribution.
A USCEA official told us that two voluntary self-regulatory codes have recently been implemented in Taiwan for marketing cigarettes and for sponsoring cigarette brands. The codes were developed by the USCEA member companies and the two other foreign companies that import cigarettes into Taiwan — the British American Tobacco Company and Rothman. Taiwan's government-controlled tobacco monopoly is not a signatory to the agreement but, according to USCEA officials, is free to monitor implementation of the codes. Both codes attempt to establish uniform advertising and promotional standards, USCEA officials told us that, as in other markets, policing of the code is done by the industry itself. They said that any concerns about marketing activities are almost always raised by the competing companies. Complaints by the public at large, USCEA contends, are virtually nonexistent.
The marketing code states that advertising should be directed towards existing adult smokers and be only intended to affect brand change or brand loyalty. Cigarette advertising and sales promotions should not be directed intentionally towards those under 18 years of age.
