New U.S. Customs Rules Are Delaying Vape Shipments: What Dragon Vape Customers Need to Know
As of August 29, 2025, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) began enforcing stricter import rules and tax collection procedures, targeting products including vape devices, nicotine pods, e-liquids, and accessories.
Key elements of the new law include:
-
Mandatory tax declarations on all vape-related imports
-
Increased scrutiny and inspections of vape products
-
New documentation requirements for customs clearance
While the law is aimed at tightening regulatory compliance and tax collection, it has also slowed down the processing of shipments, especially from Canadian retailers like Dragon Vape.
Impact on Shipping to the USA:
These regulatory changes have led to:
-
Unexpected shipping delays for U.S.-bound orders
-
Customs holds on packages containing vape-related items
-
Longer delivery windows with no precise ETA
Because every shipment must now undergo enhanced verification and tax assessment, the clearance process can take days or even weeks longer than usual. This affects not just our customers but the entire North American vape industry.
