Customs agents in Minneapolis-St. Paul recently seized pallets of 165,000 e-cigarettes and refill cartridges shipped from China, saying the illicit vaping products were “adulterated and misbranded.”

Alerted by information from the Chicago field office, the Minnesota authorities confiscated 90,000 electronic nicotine delivery systems and 75,000 refill cartridges for violating the Food and Drug Administration’s Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced on Sept. 29.
