great im ordering 10*50ml bottles. If anyone wantes to buy let me know.

I had two different orders from China for eliquid turned away by U.S. Customs in the past couple of weeks. I think it's best if you use a customs broker to help with importation of these e-cigs and related paraphernalia. Also, you will need to file a bond and a power of attorney. Lots of red tape. It's easier for me to just order from Janty USA or some of the other known suppliers. Let them deal with all of the hassles.

lol, that exactly what i have been thinking about. I am extremely hesitant to finishing any deals from china for those exact reasons. I will probably end up taking your advice as there are just too many risks.

And it could just be my state of California that has such rigid U.S. Customs officers. I don't know. But I've been ordering from Sedansa since February of this year, and I have never had a package refused entry into the U.S. until now. Sedansa is trying again. I think in the meantime, I'm going to ask them why it was stopped, if they know. Language barrier is another thing . . .

The e-liquid is the biggest problem. How the shipper labels the contents is very important as well. U.S. Customs is always watching for items that could potentially be terrorist-related and/or harmful in any manner.

During the Olympics, train/subway commuters in Beijing were not even allowed to take their bottled water onboard.

Also, since nicotine liquid is relatively new on the market in the U.S., Customs does not know that it is a nontobacco-related product. In fact, they don't know what it is, period. And if the liquid cannot be adequately identified and properly coded (shipping code), then it gets turned away. And anything suspicious-looking gets turned back to the shipper or the shipper can ask Customs to discard it.

Keep in mind that not all packages are opened and inspected. I just happened to be unlucky when all three of my packages over a two-week period were examined by customs and returned to shipper.

yo han,

They worded it improperly. You can setup a new account at their online store.

They only take orders of $700 or more.

If your order is a mix of starter kits, liquid, and carts.. with the total at approx $750ish, you can expect to dish out $1300 by the time they charge shipping ($180-$200) and then import fees, taxes.

Please find the following tariff and tax rates for the requested countries. All tariffs are paid on the product’s CIF value (Cost + Insurance + Freight) unless otherwise indicated. Taxes are paid on the product’s duty-paid value (CIF + tariff) unless otherwise noted.

Please also note that tariffs and regulations are under the domain of the individual country's Customs authority. Only the Customs officials of the individual country can provide authoritative answers. The information contained herein is only for planning purposes and constitutes the best information we have but is subject to interpretation or change without notice by local authorities.


851679 Duty Applied On Taxes Applied On




China 16% CIF 17% VAT CIF+Duty


2-3% Consumption Tax CIF

Mind you, this is if they label is as a personal vaporizer... which it is :)
If the seller lies, I couldn't tell you what the % would be..

Probably so and normally will depend on how much the value is on the paperwork on the box.
I give you one tip. Don't order large amounts of electronic cigarettes or anything else because you could end up with a boat load of cheap rubbish like me. Before you order a large amount just try and get small samples so you can view the quality first. This is one thing I have bloody learnt big time.


Some of us have been there and done this we get the idea that we would like to start selling them. So you order as much as you can afford because of the ridiculous price of shipping costs and end up with a load of crap believe me it's happened to me a few times and you've been warned just be careful.


My advice is to try and find a UK supplier that will sell you goods in bulk at the right money as this will save you the hassle in the long run. And that way you will have some sort of backup with your goods but if you feel this is not where you want to go just order a few samples of whichever you'd like to see them and try and then go for it big time later on. I am not here to tell you what to do it your choice. I am trying to save you money not spent it.


Also you are on about importing liquids be very careful with this. It is not always packed safely either where half of your liquid can end up being useless as it had leaked all over the place. You ask other suppliers and they will probably tell you the same thing regarding leakage of liquid.


And the funny thing is that the Chinese can invent all these gadgets but can't make a decent cardboard box which is normally old cardboard taped all over the place.
Just try and take my points seriously as I have been there done that and wore the T-shirt.
