📝 Important Notes
- •HEETS/TEREA are heated tobacco sticks, not liquid vape pods. China’s declaration rules explicitly include heated tobacco with cigarettes. For ordinary adult arrivals, declare a combined total above 400 sticks, or above 200 when entering from Hong Kong or Macao. Count conventional cigarettes and heated sticks together.
- •These thresholds do not guarantee admission of any quantity or device. Personal-use, total baggage-value limits and duty-free eligibility still apply; under-18s and frequent cross-border travellers have different treatment. Ask customs about the IQOS device separately instead of applying liquid-vape cartridge limits to tobacco sticks.
