Vapes can be SEIZED in UK airports under new rule coming into force next week
VAPES could be seized in UK airports under a new rule that is coming into force next week.
As it stands, there is not a strict limit on how much e-liquid vapers can bring back with them from their holidays.
But come Thursday, October 1, that is set to change.
From next week, travellers coming into the UK will be limited to just 50ml of liquid, which equates to around five standard bottles of 10ml of juice.
Anyone arriving with over this amount must declare it and pay tax and duty.
Failure to do so, could see your goods confiscated and seized, according to government guidance.
With that in mind, you can expect to pay an extra £2.20 on every extra 10ml brought into the UK.
It comes as Brits are set to be charged more for vaping as part of new rules also coming into force on October 1.
The change will see a flat rate of 22p per millilitre or £2.20 per 10ml on vaping liquid, regardless of how much nicotine it contains.
It means a single 10ml bottle of juice currently scanning for £3.99 will rise to £6.63 by next week.
Meanwhile, any three for £10 deals on 10m liquid will rise to £17.92.
The rise in e-liquid duty was first announced in the Spring Budget in 2024 but reconfirmed by former Chancellor Rachel Reeves in the Autumn Budget last year.
