Vietnamese Authorities Seize 400,000 Illegal E-Cigarettes

Authorities in Vietnam's Bac Ninh city have seized nearly 400,000 e-cigarettes and other related equipment for lack of proper documentation.

According to Vietnamese media VietnamNet's report on December 27th, the local public security department in Beiping City, Vietnam, recently announced that they conducted inspections in collaboration with the market management team and discovered a significant amount of e-cigarette liquid without invoices and proof of origin.

During the inspection, the warehouse representative failed to produce the operating license and invoices, as well as documents proving the source of the warehouse goods. He also admitted to processing and packaging e-cigarette raw materials inside the warehouse and subsequently selling them in the market.

The relevant administrative department has temporarily confiscated nearly 400,000 finished e-cigarettes, over 300 bottles of various e-liquids, and numerous related devices for further investigation, clarification, and lawful processing.
