Vape Merchant Announces Final Nicotine Vape Orders to Australia In Wake of Imminent Import Ban

Announcement posted by Vape Merchant 23 Jun 2020

Due to the Australian government’s recently announced ban on imported nicotine products, Vape Merchant is taking final nicotine vape orders from their Australian customers. The NZ vape device supplier is proud to have offered Australian vape users a viable and affordable alternative to harmful tobacco products and will continue to advocate for Australians’ future access to reduced harm products.

Ahead of Australia’s nicotine import ban, which takes effect 1 July, Vape Merchant will be issuing a final wave of orders to Australia prior to their 2 pm (NZST) deadline on Thursday, 25 June. Customers with PHIX pod subscriptions through Vape Merchant will see those subscriptions automatically cancelled at end of day Thursday as well. Vape Merchant’s dedicated customer service team will be in touch with subscribers to assist with any final orders or queries.

Vape Merchant is anticipating heightened demand during this unprecedented time, so they will be unable to service orders placed after the Thursday deadline. Australians who import nicotine vaping products from 1 July 2020 risk a fine of up to $220,000. This ban will remain in place for 1 year before a review.

Vape Merchant has been vocal in opposition to Australia’s efforts to limit access to tobacco alternatives. Many Australians have successfully used vaping to break their addiction to tobacco products. Vape Merchant encourages them to contact their MPs and share their success stories. Together, a more sensible approach to vape legislation may be possible.
