E-cigarette Exports from China to Australia for September 2023
According to the latest trade data released by the General Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China, 2FIRSTS has compiled the e-cigarette export figures to Australia for September 2023. The specific details are as follows:
Exports amounted to approximately 17.39 million US dollars, showing a month-on-month growth of 5.95% but a year-on-year decline of 44.21%.
The export volume is 389,837 kilograms, approximately 390 tons, with a MoM growth of 4.92% and a YoY decline of 34.92%.
The average export unit price was $44.60 per kilogram, an increase of 0.98% compared to the previous period, but a decrease of 14.28% compared to the same period last year. The average price of "e-cigarettes and similar personal electronic vaporizers" was $15.67 per unit.
Among them, "e-cigarettes and similar personal electronic vaporization devices" account for 3.38% of the export category, while "non-combustible products containing nicotine without tobacco or reconstituted tobacco" account for 96.62% of the total.
Data shows that approximately 22% of Australians aged 18-24 have used an e-cigarette or e-cigarette device at least once. Despite the requirement for a prescription to purchase nicotine e-cigarettes in Australia, the thriving illegal market has made them easily accessible. The Australian Health Minister has expressed the government's intention to ban the importation of non-prescription e-cigarette products and establish minimum quality standards, including restrictions on e-cigarette flavors, packaging colors, and other ingredients. The government also plans to implement pharmaceutical-like packaging and explicitly prohibit disposable e-cigarettes.
