It is UK policy that international treaties will not be ratified until all legislation required for implementation has been passed by parliament. We have now met this requirement with the introduction of legislation for the licensing of tobacco manufacturing machinery. This was included in the Finance (No 2) Act 2017 and a statutory instrument for The Tobacco Products Manufacturing Machinery (Licensing Scheme) Regulations 2018 was laid before the House of Commons on 25 January 2018.
Now that legislation has been passed, the text of the Protocol can be laid before Parliament as a Command Paper with an Explanatory Memorandum. Unless Parliament resolves against it, the UK can begin the formal ratification process, which we expect to start shortly.

HM Revenue and Customs has conducted no formal research into the potential effect of track and track systems on reducing the amount of lost excise duty. However, the European Commission published an assessment of the impact of implementation of a track and trace system for tobacco products across the EU at: https://ec.europa.eu/health/sites/health/files/tobacco/docs/2015_tpd_tracking_tracing_frep_en.pdf
In November 2017, the UK voted to adopt EU regulations for the introduction of a pan-European track and trace system for tobacco products - a requirement of the EU Tobacco Products Directive 2014. This system will also meet the requirements of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control Illicit Trade Protocol, to which the UK is a signatory. The aim of the Protocol is to protect public health and includes the creation of a global tracking system to secure the supply chain for tobacco products.
