Hello I am new to e-cigs and this forum and found most of the information contained in other threads on importing into Australia inaccurate ,out of date and confusing.

I have contacted the
Therapeutic Goods Administration and asked them if it is legal to import the e-liquid containing nicotine for personal use . I did not say what state i was in .

Here is a copy pasta of the reply.

Dear Michael
Electronic cigarettes are classified as therapeutic goods. Under personal importation provisions, an individual may bring an unapproved therapeutic good into Australia on their person, or arrange from within Australia for a therapeutic good to be sent to them from an overseas supplier. The goods must be intended for use by the importing individual or a member of his/her immediate family and are not to be sold or supplied to another person. An individual may import three months supply per import and no more than fifteen months supply per twelve-month period.
Further information on personal importation of medicines and obtaining an import permit if required is available on the TGA’s website at: " new posters cant post links"
I trust this information assists you.

Kind regards
Barbara Wall
OTC Medicines Section
