Article 32 If it is necessary to continue production and operation after the expiration of the tobacco monopoly license, it shall apply to the original issuing authority for renewal 30 days before the expiration of the tobacco monopoly license.
Article 33 If the tobacco monopoly license needs to continue its production and operation upon expiration, it will not be renewed due to major changes in its production and operation capabilities and conditions, failure to meet the statutory conditions or serious violations.
