Can you bring e-cigarettes or vapes to Philippines?

• E-cigarettes

  depends on specifics

  RA 11900 ("Vaporized Nicotine and Non-Nicotine Products Regulation Act", signed 25 July 2022) legalized and regulates vape products under the DTI, but sets no statutory personal-import quantity cap. Customs applies an informal, discretionary "reasonable personal use" standard instead of a fixed number.

  This is the genuine, honest answer rather than a research gap — the law's full text is directly reachable and doesn't specify a quantity, and no DTI or Bureau of Customs page with a concrete traveler allowance was found either. Don't assume a specific number applies; expect discretion at the border.

  Also covers: e-cigarette, vape, vaping liquid, e-liquid
