Shipping E-cigarettes to Ireland
Ireland follows EU TPD regulations, overseen by the Health Service Executive (HSE) and Revenue Commissioners. E-cigarettes containing nicotine are legal but subject to strict controls.
E-liquids with nicotine are capped at 20mg/ml, and tank capacity is limited to 2ml. Labels must be in English, with warnings like “Nicotine is highly addictive” and ingredient lists. All products must have CE marking and a unique identifier for traceability.
Transporting e-cigarettes to Ireland requires compliance with IATA guidelines for air freight of lithium batteries and ADR for road transport. Each package must include a safety data sheet detailing battery specifications.
Customs documentation includes a commercial invoice, EORI number, and TPD compliance certificate. Ireland imposes a 23% VAT on e-cigarettes, plus a tobacco tax of €0.12 per ml of nicotine e-liquid. HSE may inspect shipments to check for illegal flavors, so verify that products comply with flavor restrictions.
