Taiwan to allow travelers to bring in heated tobacco products duty-free

Starting from Feb. 1, travelers entering Taiwan can bring 200 duty-free heated tobacco sticks, bought in Taiwan airports, due to health approval rules. Only approved products can be brought in to comply with the Tobacco Hazards Prevention Act. Those found with unapproved items may face fines. The Ministry of Health and Welfare has designated two companies with approved heated tobacco products for sale in Taiwan. Travelers are advised to buy these products in duty-free shops to prevent violations. The Health Promotion Administration will educate the public on these regulations.
