Full details

E-liquid is subject to the same country-level restrictions as vaping devices. Countries that ban vaping products (Thailand, Singapore, India, Australia for non-prescription nicotine, etc.) also prohibit e-liquids. The EU limits nicotine concentration. Enforcement in Vietnam carries fines from VND 1,000,000 to VND 100,000,000 under Customs Law 2014; Government Decree 128/2020; Criminal Code Art. 188 (typical personal cases are handled as civil infringements).

PENALTIES

  • Fine: 1000000–100000000 VND
  • Civil penalty only

Leaving Vietnam with e-cigarette liquid (vape juice)

PROHIBITEDE-liquid cannot lawfully be taken out of Vietnam — vaping products are banned there.

Vietnam banned e-cigarettes and e-liquid from 2025 under National Assembly Resolution 173/2024/QH15 — production, trading, import, and use are prohibited. Because the products are unlawful to possess, there is no personal-export pathway; e-liquid found at departure screening is confiscated and fines or prosecution can follow. Travellers connecting through Vietnam should not carry vaping liquids.

QUANTITY CHECK

cigarettes

Duty-free per person: spirits up to 1.5L (or beer up to 3L), 200 cigarettes or 250g pipe tobacco or 20 cigars; personal goods valued up to VND 10 million (approx. USD $400–$430). For Vietnamese nationals returning after 6+ months abroad, the allowance for goods is higher at VND 20 million.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Carry in carry-on with 100ml liquid limit per container. Declare commercial quantities; some destinations require destination certification.
