Recently, China Customs has imposed administrative penalties totaling 85,300 RMB on Xuewu Technology, the company behind the renowned e-cigarette brand SNOWPLUS, for serious violations related to false export declarations.
Specific Violations:
1. False Declaration of Destination Country:
On September 15, 2024, the company declared an export of 31,900 boxes of e-cigarettes to Malaysia. However, the actual destination country was Chile. This misrepresentation directly impacted the accuracy of customs statistics and export tax rebate management.
2. Goods Not Actually Exported:
On September 17, 2024, the company declared an export of 8,400 boxes of e-cigarettes that did not leave the country, violating customs supervision regulations and affecting national export tax rebate management.
It's noteworthy that this is not the first instance of penalties within the e-cigarette industry in China. In November 2024, the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration (STMA) fined three e-cigarette brands—Mirui, Boulder, and Mevol—a total of nearly $700,000 for discrepancies between their products and the information provided during pre-market reviews.
