How to legally import vapes into Japan for personal use.
Are e-cigarettes legal in Japan?
Yes, electronic cigarettes (vaping) are legal in Japan. However, there are some specific regulations to keep in mind:
E-liquid containing nicotine
The sale of e-liquids containing nicotine is regulated by the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Act. It is illegal to sell e-cigarette products containing nicotine in Japan, but it is legal to import them for personal use from overseas retailers such as Vapespot Japan.
Import for personal use
It is possible to import e-liquids containing nicotine for personal use, but there are restrictions. The amount imported must not exceed one month's supply, which is defined as a maximum of 120ml of e-liquid. For example, RELX pods are 1.9ml per pod and you can order up to 63 pods per month. ELFBAR BC10000 is 18ml per unit and you can order up to 6 units per month.
Age limit
You must be 20 years of age or older to purchase and use e-cigarette products in Japan. Vapespot Japan does not sell to minors and may suspend orders for age verification.
Customs Regulations
For personal use imports, shipments under 16,666 JPY (approximately NZD$170) are not subject to import duties or taxes. Shipments over 16,666 JPY may incur additional import fees. If your order is over 16,666 JPY, you will be notified directly by the shipping company for payment.
