Hong Kong Authorities Target Vaping Products And Traditional Cigarettes
Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department conducted joint operations with the Fire Services Department in the first quarter, seizing over 90,000 liters of duty-unpaid and illicit diesel. The measure follows observations of increased illegal fuel activity in the market over recent months. A strategy group held its second meeting to strengthen crackdowns on illegal fuel transfer and fueling activities in Hong Kong. New vaping laws in Hong Kong may lead to the creation of an illicit market for vaping products. Unions in Hong Kong have expressed concern that individuals using couriers to transport products across the city may become targets for arrest. Authorities raided an illegal refueling station located in a street-level shop in Tokawa'wan in March. Police seized approximately 850 liters of fuel during the operation.
