Details

Vape / E-Cigarette requires declaration at customs (and in some cases an import permit) when carried by travelers into Mongolia. Mongolian Customs General Administration applies a personal-allowance threshold per item category; quantities above attract duty + the destination's VAT/GST rate (10%) plus, for select categories, an additional excise tax. ASEAN AFTA / RCEP preferential treatment for member-state goods. Cultural-property export rules vary sharply by destination. Travelers should consult Mongolian Customs General Administration for the current quantity threshold + documentation requirement before departure.

Leaving with this item

Vape devices and personal e-cigarette hardware may generally be exported from Mongolia freely, though many destinations prohibit import.

Practical advice

Carry Vape / E-Cigarette in carry-on where applicable (medication / lithium battery / valuables). On arrival, walk the Red Channel and declare on the customs form. Mongolian Customs General Administration computes duty + VAT at the published rate. Have the purchase receipt + (for medication) the original prescription available.
