As of October 1st, 2021, regulations on importing nicotine into Australia are changing, and Australian vapers will be required to have a valid medical prescription to legally access nicotine e-Liquids.
Technically, on the state level, most Australian vapers have alwaysrequired a prescription to import and possess nicotine. From October 1, the Australian government is simply formalising this requirement on a national level.
This change is following a reclassification from the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) making nicotine e-liquids a Schedule 4 (prescription only) substance late last year.
We will be running business as usual, and will dispatch all orders (whether a prescription is uploaded or not) as normal, at the customers own risk. Please be aware of your national legal requirements.
Prescriptions cannot be backdated and can only be dated from the date of consultation. We recommend getting a prescription as soon as possible to make sure you are covered.
A worst case scenario may be that incoming vape packages will be held by custom officers in Australia, who will then contact you to provide a valid prescription (under the personal importation scheme) for your parcel to be released. If you do not have a valid prescription you may be open to your parcel being destroyed and/or penalties under Australian law, buyer beware.
More information from the TGA.
According to the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration you will only be able to order a three months supply of your prescribed nicotine, with dosage outlined in your doctor's prescription.
