E-cigarettes have been classified as imitation tobacco products and are completely prohibited. Heated tobacco products are classified as designated tobacco products and are subject to strict control. According to Article 15, Paragraph 1, Subparagraphs 2 and 3 of the Act, no person shall import imitation tobacco products or their component parts, or designated tobacco products or their necessary component parts that have not been reviewed and approved by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Additionally, according to information on the website of the Health Promotion Administration, Ministry of Health and Welfare, as of December 11, 112 (2023), no designated tobacco products have been approved for review. |

Please also widely publicize that upon returning to Taiwan, they should not bring imitation tobacco products or designated tobacco products into the country, in accordance with the regulations of the "Tobacco Hazards Prevention Act." |
