Council Directive 2008/118/EC of 16 December 2008 concerning the general arrangements for excise duty and repealing Directive 92/12/EEC, in particular, Articles 7 and 33
must be interpreted as meaning that excise duty on tobacco products, irregularly imported onto the territory of a Member State, then transported for commercial purposes to another Member State, transiting through several Member States, without having been placed under a duty suspension arrangement, may only be levied by one Member State, namely the Member State of destination to which they were transported, excluding Member States of transit.
