Can you bring e-cigarettes or vapes to Albania?

Short answer
Depends on specifics

  • E-cigarettes

    depends on specifics

    Albania's tobacco-control law (Law No. 9636, as amended through 2024) defines "smoking" to include electronic cigarettes, and permits their retail sale (18+ only) subject to restrictions — but the law's provisions found in this pass are about domestic manufacture, marketing and retail-sale channels (e.g., a ban on selling tobacco products, including via the definition covering e-cigarettes, "through the postal service"), not a traveler-facing import quantity.

    The Customs Authority's own traveler duty-free page (used for the tobacco and alcohol allowances above) does not mention e-cigarettes, vapes, or e-liquid at all — unlike tobacco, there is no stated personal duty-free allowance or explicit ban for travelers bringing a vape. Domestically, nicotine liquid may only be placed on the market in refill containers up to 10ml or disposables up to 2ml, with nicotine concentration capped at 20mg/ml — whether this domestic market-placement rule is enforced against a traveler's personal device wasn't confirmed. Treat this as unresolved rather than clearly allowed or banned.
