Decline in Chinese E-cigarette Exports to Australia in August 2023
Chinese e-cigarette exports to Australia saw a decline in August, with a decrease in both value and quantity.

On October 13th, according to the latest trade data released by the General Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China, 2FIRSTS compiled the e-cigarette exports from China to Australia in August 2023.

Decline in Chinese E-cigarette Exports to Australia in August 2023

 

Data shows that the export value and volume of e-cigarettes from China to Australia have both experienced a decline. The export value is approximately $16.41 million (about 120 million RMB), which is a decrease of 9.11% compared to the previous period and a decrease of 20.51% compared to the same period last year. The export volume is 371,540 kilograms, approximately 372 tons, which has decreased by 7.52% compared to the previous period and 4.06% compared to the same period last year.

 

According to a source from a shipping company in the e-cigarette industry, there are very few logistics providers in the market who are able to transport e-cigarettes to Australia. This is primarily due to the country's stringent import policies regarding e-cigarettes, which makes it difficult to complete the necessary compliance procedures. Moreover, there is a high risk involved as any discovery of these products can result in the immediate seizure of the goods.

 

In addition, 2FIRSTS has found, based on publicly available information, that there has been a significant increase in actions taken by Australia to crack down on the importation and sale of e-cigarettes between May and September this year. Several cases of e-cigarette smuggling and sales have been detected and prosecuted.

 

For instance, an e-cigarette retailer in Australia has been fined AUD 88,000 for selling e-cigarettes. In Western Australia, local authorities seized 300,000 e-cigarettes, estimated to be worth millions of dollars, setting a new record for the country's largest seizure in a single instance. Moreover, three e-cigarette brands, IGET, HQD, and GUNPOD, have also been found to contain prohibited substances, leading regulatory authorities to send 38 infringement notices to four retailers.
