Full Details

Sending vape / e-cigarette by post to United Kingdom 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 United Kingdom carries fines from GBP 250 to GBP 20,000 under Customs and Excise Management Act 1979 s.167 (untrue declarations); Universal Postal Convention Art. 20 (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 United Kingdom must be declared to UK Border Force with proof of purchase; e-liquid containers obey the standard 100 ml carry-on liquid rule.
