For operational monitoring of turnover of excise goods it is necessary to implement the automated control system behind turnover of excise goods (alcoholic beverages and tobacco products) "Electronic excise stamp" (further the automated system) which will cover all stages of the address of excise goods on customs area of Ukraine from the producer and the importer until retail sale of excise goods (alcoholic beverages and tobacco products) (further - excise goods).
