Mailing vape products to Canada from the US

[Karen Haehn]

Hi,

my sister in Canada wanted products from a California company that doesn’t deliver to Canada. She asked me to buy it and mail it. Now I’m learning more since the 1st package didn’t arrive. Is there any tips?

Hi Karen. Welcome to the ECF.

Shipping "vape" products to Canada could be Problematic. Because All the Major Shippers (USPS, UPS, Fed-Ex, DHL) have pulled back on shipping "ENDS".

If what you send Doesn't have a Battery in it, you might be able to do it. But the Problem is you are going to have to Fill Out a Customs Declaration.

If you are sending something like packs of Coil Heads, you could say that they are "Small Heating Elements". But for something like a mod, that gets a little Tougher.

What Exactly does your Sister want you to Send Her?

it's ejuice vape from a company called ejuice. it was so very difficult even to get it mailed to me within the US. I had no idea the problems and restrictions. i don't know anything about it... not sure if you smoke or inhale...lol i guess i'll have to look that up. thank you

If it is an e-Liquid than I would say NO Way.

Sending Hardware is perhaps Doable. But Sending e-Liquids could be a HUGE Problem.

I can tell you without a doubt that trying to ship eliquid into Canada is a hit and miss affair.

Some will make it. Some will not.

It all depends on who looks at it at Canada Customs. One guy will let it go, the next will not.

Also, if it is over 20% nic then it is illegal and will definitely not make it.

IMO the best bet for us Canadians is to buy liquids from Canadian suppliers. There are enough of them so that's not a problem. Best of luck with it

I believe in over 10 years of having juice shipped to me from the US to Can I have only lost 1 package to customs..
