Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
Summary
The bill adds a new section to the Tariff Act of 1930 that makes it illegal to bring electronic nicotine delivery systems into the United States without FDA approval. It sets civil penalties of $500 to $5,000 per device, with higher multiples for repeat offenses, transshipment schemes, or when the penalty would exceed 1,000 % of the product’s estimated retail value. Existing customs procedures apply, and other agencies can still pursue separate actions.
