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.
