Devsinc helps vaping and tobacco businesses meet HMRC's new duty and stamping rules, without disrupting how Dynamics 365 already runs your operations.
From 1 October 2026, HMRC's Vaping Products Duty (VPD) will apply to all vaping liquids sold in the UK, whether they contain nicotine or not. At the same time, the Vaping Duty Stamps Scheme (VDS) will require every retail vaping product to carry an HMRC-approved duty stamp, verified through scanning at Goods In and Goods Out to confirm that the applicable duty has been paid.
This affects you if you're a:
UK manufacturer of vaping products
Importer of vaping products
Warehouse keeper storing products under duty suspension
Overseas manufacturer supplying the UK market
Unstamped stock becomes unsellable. Duty miscalculations invite penalties. Manual warehouse logs leave gaps an inspector will find. And with HMRC approval windows and integration work ahead of you, 1 October 2026 is closer than it looks.
Devsinc configures your Dynamics 365 environment to handle VPD and duty stamp requirements as part of everyday warehouse and finance operations:
Automated duty calculation, accurate to the 10ml
Duty stamp scanning and lifecycle tracking at every mandatory point
Batch and inventory traceability from goods-in to retail
HMRC-ready return generation, audit trails, and compliance alerts
AI-powered checks that flag discrepancies before HMRC does

Everything you need to know about VPD compliance and our Dynamics 365 solution.
HMRC's Vaping Products Duty (VPD) introduces mandatory duty stamping and scanning obligations for every business that manufactures, imports, or moves duty-paid vaping products in the UK. Goods entering and leaving a warehouse must be scanned, validated, and reconciled against duty stamp records at every stage.
VPD goes live on 1 October 2026, when mandatory scanning becomes required at Goods In and Goods Out. The HMRC application window for VPD approval opens 1 April 2026, and a grace period for full enforcement of duty stamp requirements runs until 1 April 2027.
The Duty Stamps Scheme (VDS) requires duty stamps to be applied to vaping products and scanned and validated at key warehouse control points, so businesses can prove duty has been paid and maintain a complete audit trail of stamped stock.
Devsinc configures a single Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Advanced Warehouse Management System (AWMS) to build VPD and VDS compliance into everyday warehouse operations, so duty stamp validation, aggregation, and reporting run natively alongside receiving, putaway, picking, and shipping.
When a duty stamp cannot be read, is missing, or fails validation, the affected item is automatically routed to a quarantine location rather than continuing through the standard warehouse flow, so compliance issues are contained before they reach outbound orders.
