Vapes are atomized electronics because of their special properties and structure; they are treated specially when transported.
China produces most vape in the world, because of the value of vape and the properties of fast products, China exports shipping vape mostly by air freight. Vape is built with batteries inside, which is considered dangerous, air freight and sea freight have strict requirements for it.
What Causes Vape Transportation Difficulties?
Vapes are also e-cigarettes or atomizers. Their basic components are PCB, rechargeable batteries, and various electronic circuits.
Vape Liquid
Vape liquid is an e-atomization liquid used in conjunction with vape. Heated by an e-smoke converter, it produces smoke like a cigarette. Smoke oil is a liquid, and the airline treats all liquids as suspicious, dangerous goods. They do this to prevent employee, equipment, and other goods risk. Therefore, you should know that shipping companies are sensitive to liquid products or products with liquids. They refuse to transport vape with liquid.
Lithium Battery
The vape power supply is a lithium battery which is dangerous cargo because it is flammable. Although lithium batteries are often found in everyday items, they can be a fire hazard in land and air transport. Since all lithium batteries are considered dangerous, regulations are in place to ensure their safe transportation. Most airlines list cargo with built-in lithium batteries as dangerous and banned from air freight.
In transportation, vape with built-in batteries is sensitive, so shipping companies restrict atomizers.
Because of the structure of the vape, it cannot be used as an ordinary item for transportation. That is why carriers severely restrict air transport to them. Special treatment is required when transporting. However, you still can transport these vapes by air and courier.

2. Shipment with batteries can’t be combined with general goods packaging for shipping.
3. the battery needs to do a good job of insulation measures.
MSDS
Chemical manufacturers or distributors provide customers with a detailed product (pure substance or mixture) of physical and chemical parameters, explosion performance, toxicity, and environmental hazards, as well as safe use, leakage emergency rescue disposal, laws and regulations and other information comprehensive documentation, to help users of the product can better control risk. Failure to provide MSDS or MSDS irregularities increases the risk of trade disruption.
Vapes have built-in lithium batteries. Lithium battery’ MSDS is used for goods, and stores a document of instructions. The shipping company may ask you to provide MSDS files for a vape with built-in batteries.
Lithium Battery Label
When air transporting, any shipment containing lithium batteries exceeds the requirements of IATA, and lithium batteries need to be carefully labeled on the surface of the packaging.
The universal size of this label is 120 x 110mm. If the package size does not withstand the full-size lithium battery marking, a minimum size of 105 x 74mm can be used.
