Nicaragua Imposes Ban on Electronic Cigarette Imports
Nicaragua bans the import and use of electronic cigarettes, and tobacco companies must register with the ANRS health agency.

In Nicaragua, the Customs General Office has issued Technical Notice CT/116/2022 to inform customs officials and the public that the import of electronic cigarettes is prohibited, and that tobacco importers and exporters must register with the National Health Regulatory Authority.


This ban includes prohibiting the import, export, storage, distribution, marketing and use of electronic nicotine delivery systems, e-cigarettes, vaporizers or other similar devices containing or not containing nicotine.


This regulation prohibits the entry of these products into the country, even for personal use, and authorizes customs officials to seize such products from travelers and deliver them to the National Health Regulatory Agency (ANRS).


The regulation also mandates that companies engaged in the manufacture, import, and export of tobacco products (including e-cigarette products and their derivatives) in Nicaragua must register with the ANRS health regulatory authority for clearance of such goods in accordance with any provisions.
