Illegal E-cigarettes Worth ¥27 Million Destroyed in Kazakhstan
Recently, the Financial Supervisory Authority of Kazakhstan (AFM) announced that it has destroyed nearly 50,000 illegally smuggled e-cigarettes in the Zhambyl region. The estimated value of these e-cigarettes is around 171 million tenge (approximately 2.7 million RMB).
According to AFM, these e-cigarettes were illegally imported from China, and this destruction operation is being carried out based on a court ruling.
As part of the effort to combat the illegal import and trafficking of e-cigarettes within Kazakhstan, the AFM regularly takes appropriate measures. In 2023, 3 similar incidents were reported in the Jambul region alone.
A total of nearly 175,000 e-cigarettes, valued at about 350 million Jankos (approximately 5.53 million yuan), have been seized. After the criminal case is concluded, the department will take measures to destroy these e-cigarettes.
