Full Details

Sending vape / e-cigarette by post to Japan requires compliance with carrier dangerous goods policies and destination customs regulations. Verify current regulations with the destination customs authority. Rules change frequently and enforcement varies by port of entry and individual officer. Enforcement in Japan carries fines from JPY 10,000 to JPY 5,000,000 under Customs Law Art. 108 (declaration violations); Postal Law Art. 82 (typical personal cases are handled as civil infringements).

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Carry the device in carry-on (never checked baggage โ€” lithium battery rule). Quantities above the personal-use threshold for Japan must be declared to Japan Customs with proof of purchase; e-liquid containers obey the standard 100 ml carry-on liquid rule.
