Can you bring e-cigarettes and nicotine liquid into Finland?
The 10 ml rule for vapes, nicotine strength and nicotine-free liquids.
Short answer
This topic is for adults aged 18 and over. Yes, in small amounts. You can bring at most 10 millilitres of nicotine liquid, either in refill containers or inside disposable e-cigarettes. If one disposable contains 2 ml, you can bring five. The rule is the same from the EU and outside it. Liquids without nicotine have no quantity limit.
Why
- Finnish Customs says travellers can bring in at most 10 millilitres of nicotine liquid.
- Customs gives the example that five e-cigarettes with 2 ml each make the allowed 10 ml.
- According to Customs, nicotine-free liquids have no quantity restrictions.
Details
For your own use there is no maximum nicotine strength. If you bring liquid as a gift or for a family member, the strength may be at most 20 mg/ml.
Tip
Count the millilitres on each device before you pack. Large disposable vapes often hold more than 2 ml.
What may differ
Persons under 18 cannot bring e-cigarettes or nicotine liquids at all. Airline rules on carrying vapes in luggage are separate.
Common misconception
You can bring as many disposable vapes as you want because they are not tobacco.
What actually happens
Nicotine liquid in disposables counts towards the 10 ml limit, so only a few devices are allowed.
