Malaysia’s Customs Department says officers seized illicit vape products worth more than RM13 million (US$2.7 million) during an October raid on a storage warehouse in Padang Besar, Perlis. Authorities found 719,250 units in total — including more than 211,000 vape devices and some 508,000 containers of liquid — all reportedly undeclared and lacking the Health Ministry’s required import permits.

Customs said the shipment originated in China, arrived at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, and was then moved to Perlis. A man in his 40s is under investigation, and officials are examining whether the stock was intended for domestic sale or re-export.
