Hong Kong. Has banned all exportation of E.Cigs.

[MicBang]

Last week i was informed that the Honk Kong government had banned all exportation of e cigs and fluids. In effect throttling the supply worldwide. Up till now i thought that this was a gesture they would not follow up with any commitment.

All 3 of my suppliers are having their goods returned to them. We are currently trying to find new ways to import the goods but i think it might be fair to expect a drying up of Supplies in the short term.

I believe that Tobacco companies and world government pressure is being exerted on HK to do this. In effect, if the distribution of Electronic Cigarettes and Nicotine cartridges and fluid is choked at its exit point..IE Hong Kong then we have no product..

i can feel a little panic.....

Perhaps it's time for a little domestic manufacturing?

It doesn't make sense to me though... why would they put the brakes on their own economy? ... I'm baffled.

Hong Kong. Has banned all exportation of E.Cigs.

That's not looking good at all.

Can someone clue me in please? I thought these were coming out of China proper, not Hong Kong, so don't understand how it would be "throttling the supply worldwide"....

That's like China's main distribution point.

I can't see China liking this, though. My stuff has been coming in. Just little stuff, consumer related stuff.

From "Wayne" at Heaven Gifts aka Ruyan Direct:

"Hi David, Please don't hesitate to ask us any question. Our business haven't been affected by the ban of electronic cigarette sales in Hong Kong, as all our packages are shipped out directly from Shanghai China.

Kindest regards,
