COMMENTS: In light of an August 2018 MOHFW Advisory on ENDS, the Ministry of Finance issued Circular No. 46/2018 to alert customs officials about the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare Advisory on Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS). In this circular, customs officials are instructed not to clear shipments of "ENDS including e-Cigarettes, Heat-Not-Burn devices, Vape, e-Sheesha, e-Nicotine Flavoured Hookah, and the like devices/products." Instead, these products and devices should be checked by the Assistant/Deputy Drugs Controller for compliance with the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940.
