All data and images in this article are derived from the e-cigarette whitelist published by Belgium. Belgium is an important logistics hub in Europe, and its Brussels airport is a crucial air gateway for Chinese e-cigarettes. Belgium, along with Luxembourg and the Netherlands, has established the Benelux free trade area, allowing goods to circulate freely within the trade zone. Belgium requires all imported and manufactured products to be registered and recorded in the Belgian "whitelist" six months before they go on the market. The whitelist is published by the Belgian Federal Public Service for Health, Food Chain Safety, and Environment (FPS Public Health).
