Why is there a need for the SDPC marking?
The SDPC mark on individual sticks of duty-paid cigarettes sold in Singapore is used to differentiate duty-paid cigarettes from duty-unpaid cigarettes.
Our enforcement officers are able to detect duty-unpaid cigarettes easily by checking the SDPC marking.
The SDPC marking also serves as a deterrent to curb the peddling and buying of duty-unpaid cigarettes in Singapore.
