On August 25th, at the scene of customs inspection and quarantine at Qingdao Jiaodong International Airport, two instances were found where passengers failed to declare excess tobacco products in their possession upon entering the country. The search yielded a total of 20 packs of cigarettes and 35 pods of electronic cigarettes, totaling 11,000 pieces.


On the day in question, customs officers conducting routine checks on passengers arriving on a flight noticed two individuals whose carry-on bags and suitcases appeared to contain unusual items when scanned. Upon further inspection, the officers discovered that in addition to clothing, the two passengers were carrying a total of 20 packs of unreported cigarettes and 35 electronic cigarette pods, totaling 11,000 units.


According to regulations, cigarettes are considered items restricted from entering the country, and travelers are allowed to bring in 400 cigarettes, 100 cigars, or 500 grams of tobacco without duty. For travelers from Hong Kong and Macau, the limit is 200 cigarettes, 50 cigars, or 250 grams of tobacco without duty. New tobacco products such as e-cigarettes are subject to the same regulations as traditional cigarettes.


Currently, the customs authorities have seized the aforementioned tobacco products and will proceed with further legal action.
