Can you bring e-cigarettes or vapes to Ireland?

• E-cigarettes

  depends on specifics

  Revenue's traveller allowances for arrivals from outside the EU list allowances for cigarettes, cigarillos, cigars and smoking tobacco only — there is no vaping-specific allowance, and Revenue's list of prohibited/restricted goods in baggage does not mention e-cigarettes or vapes. Since 1 November 2025 Ireland charges an E-Liquid Products Tax of 50 cent per millilitre on e-liquid (nicotine and non-nicotine), but Revenue says it applies "the first time an e-liquid product is supplied by a business in the State", i.e. it falls on importers, manufacturers and suppliers, not on a traveller's own device.

  This row records what the traveller guidance does and doesn't say — no source found either sets a personal-import quantity for vapes or bans carrying one. Whether e-liquid in luggage is treated under the general €430 goods allowance is not stated by Revenue and is an inference, not a confirmed rule. Vapes are regulated at the point of sale (nicotine inhaling products licence, no sale to under-18s, under the Public Health (Tobacco Products and Nicotine Inhaling Products) Act 2023), which is a retail rule rather than a border one.
