Outside Packaging and Labeling
The law does not contain a definition of “outside packaging and labeling.” Undefined key terms or ambiguous definitions can make interpretation difficult and undermine the application of other substantive provisions of a law. A definition of “outside packaging and labeling” should be provided in accordance with the definition provided in FCTC Art. 11(4).
Any packaging and labeling used in the retail sale of the product. (FCTC Art. 11(4))
