Summary
The bill amends the Tariff Act of 1930 to make it unlawful to bring unauthorized electronic nicotine delivery systems (vapes) into the United States and imposes civil penalties that rise with the level of wrongdoing. It targets importers, manufacturers, and any entity that fraudulently or negligently ships these devices, especially those routed through third countries to hide origin. The goal is to deter smuggling of unapproved Chinese vapes that bypass FDA clearance.
