The 6th E-Cigarette Industry Standardization Development Publicity Conference and the 1st Export Service Development Conference will be held on June 15th 2022.


Encourage and support the export of electronic cigarettes.


In 2021, the worldwide e-cigarette market was worth USD 80 billion, and exports totaled RMB 138.3 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 180 percent. The electronic cigarette business has steadily entered the period of standardized development with the publication of this year's "Electronic Cigarette Management Measures," "Electronic Cigarette" national standards, and other related policy documents. China's e-cigarette sector will maintain its solid development momentum in the past and may usher in a new phase of growth under the supervision of defined regulatory expectations and restrictions.


The goal of this conference is to provide policy publicity, industrial chain support, international policy environment support, product and intellectual property certification, and other services to e-cigarette export enterprises, as well as to guide the more benign and long-term development of e-cigarette enterprises. It is prohibited to exhibit and promote e-cigarette goods in various forms at the conference, according to the Administrative Measures for E-cigarettes. Nowadays, the state has enacted policies, ushered in the growth of the rule of law and standards, more uniform meetings, and mastered management techniques.

The first e-cigarette export exceptional enterprise award-"Fog Valley Award" will also be granted at this conference in order to congratulate outstanding export firms, promote excellent experience, and carry forward the export spirit of China's e-cigarette sector. There are four award categories: Vape Industry Special Contribution Award for 20 Years Platinum Award, Export Excellence Award, Novel Exporter Award, and Superior Supply Chain Award. This selection activity strictly adheres to the Interim Provisions on the Administration of Social Organizations' Appraisal and Commendation Activities, and the China Electronic Chamber of Commerce Electronic Cigarette Professional Committee does not charge any appraisal fees to participating enterprises, such as registration fees, appraisal fees, and medal fees.

Yinghe-Controlled Vape Maker SKE Ordered to Post £569,039 Security as It Pursues Crystal Bar Design Infringement Case in UK
The UK High Court has ordered Chinese vape manufacturer Shenzhen SKE Technology to provide £569,039 ($776,000) in security for costs in its design infringement proceedings against Vapepen London and other defendants over its Crystal Bar vape product. The court did not accept the defendants’ main argument that recovering costs from a China-based company would face significant enforcement obstacles, but found that SKE had not sufficiently disclosed its own financial position. The order is procedural and does not determine the underlying infringement claims.
