Shipping E-cigarettes to Malaysia​

Malaysia’s Ministry of Health classifies nicotine-containing e-cigarettes as controlled drugs, with their import prohibited. Non-nicotine e-cigarettes are allowed but must meet safety standards and be labeled “Tanpa nikotin” (No nicotine) in Bahasa Malaysia.​

Transporting non-nicotine e-cigarettes requires compliance with Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) rules for lithium batteries. Air freight must adhere to IATA guidelines, with batteries properly packaged.​

Customs documentation includes a commercial invoice, a certificate of compliance with Malaysian safety standards, and a packing list. Malaysia imposes a 10% VAT on e-cigarettes, plus a 20% customs duty. Note that customs may test products to verify the absence of nicotine, so include lab reports.
