TGA Issues Infringement Notice for Illegal Import of E-Cigarette Products

The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) in Australia has issued a infringement notice to an individual located in Western Australia for $2,664 for allegedly importing liquid nicotine, used in electronic cigarette products.

It is purported that an individual imported electronic cigarette products into Australia without obtaining approval or exemption. The package was intercepted and seized at the border, containing a quantity of products exceeding the allowable amount for personal importation. Furthermore, it is alleged that the shipment was falsely declared to avoid detection.

This case serves as a warning to anyone who may be considering illegally importing liquid nicotine products into Australia. They are at risk of losing the products, facing fines, and possibly being prosecuted in court.

All nicotine vapor products, such as e-cigarettes, pods, and liquid nicotine, are prescription drugs. Consumers can only legally obtain them by getting a valid prescription to quit smoking from a registered doctor.
