New import controls on vaping goods from 1 January 2024
Published
New import controls have been introduced for vaping goods under the Customs (Prohibited Imports) Regulations 1956.
From 1 January 2024, the import of disposable vapes is prohibited unless the importer holds a licence and permit issued by the Office of Drug Control (ODC).
From 1 March 2024, the import of other vaping goods, including devices, accessories, and substances, will require a licence and permit issued by the ODC.
More information about these controls, and the exemptions for travellers, is available at the ODC webpage Importing vaping goods into Australia.
