Chinese Company's Subsidiary Obtains Order for Tobacco Testing Equipment


According to reports, as both domestic and international tobacco markets have increasingly strict requirements for the quality of cigarette production, the technical demands for tobacco testing instruments have continued to rise. However, the current market for tobacco testing instruments is characterized by low accuracy, limited availability, and high prices. Ruituo Technology is a well-known domestic provider of tobacco physical testing equipment. Their tobacco testing instruments are known for their high accuracy, superior quality, and wide range of varieties. Some of the indicator parameters have even surpassed similar imported instruments, giving Ruituo Technology a relatively high market share in China. Furthermore, their products have been exported to countries such as Russia, Indonesia, North Korea, Cambodia, and South Korea.

South Korea Constitutional Court Upholds Volume-Based E-Liquid Tax, With Challenged Rates at KRW 370 and KRW 628 per Milliliter
South Korea Constitutional Court Upholds Volume-Based E-Liquid Tax, With Challenged Rates at KRW 370 and KRW 628 per Milliliter
South Korea's Constitutional Court has upheld fixed taxes on nicotine-containing e-cigarette liquids based on solution volume, ruling that challenged provisions imposing KRW 370 per milliliter in individual consumption tax and KRW 628 per milliliter in tobacco consumption tax do not violate the Constitution. The cases stemmed from historical disputes involving importers that reported nicotine as being extracted from tobacco stems rather than leaves. South Korea has since broadened its tobacco definition to include synthetic nicotine, while current tax laws provide reduced rates for certain products not derived from tobacco.
