Mailing e-juice

[firefly2014]

Correct me if I am wrong here, but e-juice can be mailed domesticaly by an individual without special labels under the small quantities provision if it meets the following conditions:

The bottles of e-juice (see 3) contain 30 ml or less (see 2), do not add up to 64 pounds (see 1), is not liquid full at 55 degrees Celsius (see 1) (VG expands when heated so leave a couple ml empty head room to allow for expansion), closure (cap) is held on by positive means (ex. screw on not press on or slide on) (see 1), and the packaging can pass the drop tests (see 1).

Listing: Nicotine compounds, liquid, n.o.s. or Nicotine preparations, liquid, n.o.s. PG III Only ORM-D or Consumer Commodity

If the PO asks if you are mailing liquid or any thing hazardous then tell then you are mailing nicotine juice and that it falls under the small quantities exception/provision.

note: I haven't tried this myself yet, just wondered about it for a long time and then spent a few hours digging through the internet.

Good luck.

Edit: as mentioned below you also have to have enough absorbent material in the package to absorb all liquid in case it does leak. See link 1 for a more complete packaging requirements list.

You need to make sure that its wrapped up well like in bubble wrap and make sure that it cant open or spill during delivery.

I figured that was covered by the "pass drop test" part, but you are correct there are additional packaging specs in link 1, such as having enough absorbent material to absorb all liquid if it does leak.

I get my juices via the USPS. 1-2 boxes or bubble pouches of bottles per week. They are either sealed in bubble wrap or in a plastic bag in the mailing container, don't know if it required or just curtisy.

I get my flavorings and nic and such thru the USPS in bubble packs. The lids are taped on for the nic and PG/VG and or have child proof tops. The bottles are usually wrapped in bubble wrap as well.
