To support the Government's reforms to the regulation of vaping goods in Australia, transitional arrangements have been put in place. These arrangements allow businesses holding vaping goods that can no longer be supplied in Australia to divest themselves of these products without committing a supply or possession offence.
The Business Surrender Scheme allows businesses to surrender specified quantities of vaping goods that were lawful prior to 1 July 2024 but that are no longer lawful following the commencement of the Therapeutic Goods and Other Legislation Amendment (Vaping Reforms) Act 2024 on 1 July 2024.
The scheme is available to businesses possessing more than 280 vaping devices or 1,800 vaping accessories, or 12,000mL of vaping substance.
