You can inform HMRC about Excise Duty on tobacco goods to be released from a warehouse by using the Alcohol and Tobacco Warehousing Declaration (ATWD) online service, or the paper form W6.
If you want to use the online service you’ll need to enrol and activate your account if you have not used it before.
If you use the W6 form you should print it off, fill it in and post it to:
HM Revenue and Customs
National Warrant Processing Unit (NWPU)

Email HMRC to ask for this form in Welsh (Cymraeg).
You can find a version of the form that was used before January 2021 on the National Archive website.
