e-Excise timeline
Test mode is the window when mistakes cost nothing. Those who start a pilot now will reach 1 July 2027 with a line that already runs smoothly.

The problem
Every stamp must be on its own bottle, in its own case, on its own pallet — and the state must know it. When that relies on spreadsheets and people, a mistake is only a matter of time.
How it works
One system instead of five spreadsheets, phone calls and trust in people. Stamp printing and bottle inspection are optional modules.
01Stamp orders
Optional: the print module prints ordered stamps and checks that each one printed correctly. Large batches print in a separate queue and never delay labels on the line.
02Bottle inspectionoptional module
+17.5%more codes read per pass than the standard algorithm. Measured on real frames from the line.
03Case · UGI1
Shrink-wrap lines are supported: the case is scanned and gets its own label. The shift supervisor sets product and packing format from the touch panel.
04Pallet · UGI2
No internet — scans are stored and sent automatically once the connection is back.
05AED documents
Documents are stored indefinitely.

For managers
Every line shows actual speed against plan in real time.
Camera, printer or state-system problems become incidents automatically — before anyone calls.
Enter any code and see the bottle, its case, pallet and shipping document.
Reliability
If the state system does not respond, ExciseTrace never resends blindly. It first checks what the state has already received.
All actions go into an audit log kept for one year.
Operators, supervisors and administrators have different rights, down to a single line.
Rollout
We start with one line so you see results before rolling out everywhere. A pilot before runs with no penalties.
The system already includes a setup wizard for cameras, printers and panels.
The interface is in Ukrainian and English, so training is short.
Roadmap
The product is actively developed. Updates are part of the service and never stop production.
Questions
From 1 July 2027. Paper stamps are valid until inclusive. Goods with paper stamps produced or imported before may be sold until inclusive.
On the label, back label, cap, bottle or other packaging — the producer chooses.
Yes, in test mode: until with no penalties, testing allowed until . We start with a pilot on one line.
The line keeps running and printing labels. Warehouse scans are stored. The state receives the data once the connection is back.
Nothing is sent twice. The system first checks the status with the state. Anything unresolved goes to an administrator with a flag, and three failures in a row become an urgent incident.
We do. Equipment is selected individually for each plant.
Only your employees, each within their role and their lines. Every action is logged.
The audit log is kept for one year, AED documents — indefinitely.
Today the system is built for alcohol. Tobacco is discussed separately.
The system shows actual speed against plan, and we measure it on your line during the pilot.
There is a separate product for that — ExciseTrace WMS.
We offer an on-site visit and a demo on a real line. Tell us which of your lines is the hardest to mark.
