Economic operators shall transmit the information listed in points 3.1 to 3.5 of Section 3 of Chapter II of Annex II, in the format indicated therein, to the router. ...\n3. For disaggregation of aggregated packaging marked pursuant to Article 10(4), where an economic operator intends to reuse an aggregated level UI in any future operations, economic operators shall transmit the information listed in point 3.6 of Section 3 of Chapter II of Annex II, in the format indicated therein, to the router. ...\n4. For deliveries to multiple first retail outlets by means of a vending van, economic operators shall transmit the information listed in point 3.7 of Section 3 of Chapter II of Annex II, in the format indicated therein, to the router. ...\n5. For dispatch and trans-loading of unit or aggregated packaging of tobacco products with total weight below 10 kg destined outside the United Kingdom, the Commissioners may allow the recording obligation referred to in paragraph 1 in points (c) to (e) to be discharged by means of providing access to the logistic or postal operator's own track and trace system records.\n6. If following the application of the unique identifier tobacco products are destroyed or stolen, economic operators shall promptly transmit a deactivation request in accordance with the scope and format specified in point 2.3 of Section 2 of Chapter II of Annex II.\n7. The information concerning the event shall be deemed to have been transmitted correctly upon the positive acknowledgement by ... the router. The acknowledgement shall include a message recall code to be applied by the economic operator if the original message needs to be cancelled.\n(8.) In the case of tobacco products that are marked with associated unit level codes paired with unit level UIs issued by the ID Issuer, where the information listed in Section 3 of Chapter 2 of Annex 2, as referred to in paragraphs 2, 4 and 5, refers to “unit packet level UIs” that reference is to be treated as a reference to the associated unit level code.",
