Police in Taiwan have seized over 240,000 bottles of nicotine-containing e-liquid and nine barrels of semi-finished product with an estimated market value of over NT$7 million ($226,908). Police on Tuesday said the product was confiscated earlier this year.
The illegal product was discovered at stores in Kaohsiung and Tainan, according to police, and it had been imported from China. Legislative amendments passed in March make the sale of vaping and heated tobacco products illegal in Taiwan, according to Taiwan News. The new rules introduced fines of up to NT$10,000 for users and NT$50 million for importers, manufacturers, and sellers.
Police investigations found the product was being sold through both stores and LINE groups, but only to customers who had previously bought the e-liquid.
