According to a report by Global Times on November 5th, the Tianjin Binhai Airport Customs found abnormal images in the X-ray scans of the luggage of two passengers during a routine inspection. Upon conducting a manual examination, it was discovered that the passengers were carrying a large quantity of undeclared items, including e-cigarette pods and lighters.

After counting, customs officials seized a total of 21,000 e-cigarette pods (heat-not-burn tobacco products) and 17 lighters. The unreported items have been handed over to the customs anti-smuggling department for further processing.

Customs reminder: Tobacco products are among the items restricted from entering the country. According to current laws, travelers from or to China's Hong Kong and Macau regions, as well as mainland residents visiting these regions for private purposes, are allowed to bring in tax-free a maximum of 200 cigarettes, 50 cigars, or 250 grams of tobacco.
For other general travelers, with the exception of short-term frequent visitors to Hong Kong and Macau, regular cross-border commuters, and residents of border areas, the tax-free allowance is up to 400 cigarettes, 100 cigars, or 500 grams of tobacco. Bringing in tobacco products exceeding these limits will result in lawful actions by customs authorities.
