Taking vape / e-cigarette out of Vietnam
E-cigarettes are banned in Vietnam, so there is no lawful personal export — devices found at departure are subject to confiscation.
Details
Vietnam banned e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products from 2025 under National Assembly Resolution 173/2024/QH15 — production, trading, import, and use are prohibited. Because possession itself is unlawful, there is no personal-export pathway: travellers carrying vape devices through the airport risk confiscation and fines at security or customs screening, on departure as well as arrival. Travellers connecting through Vietnam should keep devices in checked or transit baggage and verify airline policy on lithium batteries (IATA DGR requires cabin carriage where devices are permitted at all).
