Would rather not go to that extent. You can get into serious trouble creating fictitious packaging to dupe customs

Good point dev.
If they found it to be e juice, would it be confiscated or just taxed heavily?

It would probably be more of the fact that it was considered to be a criminal offence to try and pass one thing off for another, especially if you made it look like it was from a Company that didnt exist. They could try and throw the medicine controls act at you (unlawful possession, distribution or importation of nicotine) and also have a crack at you for import duty evasion.
Rather play it above board, and then plead ignorance, it will have much lighter consequences than intentionally trying to thwart and deceive customs. Maybe @Matthee could offer his perspective?
What is everyone else declaring it as when importing?
It seems nicoticket declare it as 'flavoring'
What would happen if you declare it as nicotine liquid?

Generally the nicer vendors declare it as flavouring. Other vendors ignore requests for customs friendly packaging.
Zamplebox declare it as 'essential oils' and I have had 3 arrive without anyone batting an eyelid.
I think 'e liquid' 'nicotine' or 'electronic cigarette' will be a problem
If they decide to open it wouldn't there be problems though? Doesn't zamplebox leave the labels in tact which indicates the Nic content.
Customs will eventually catch on. Surely someone is gonna wonder why there is suddenly a huge increase in essential oil imports.
Yes they do leave the Labels in tact. Check the Zamplebox thread, and my posts in past week or so on the Vape Mail thread. You can see exactly how it arrives. Honestly I think a blindman from the stone age would be able to determine that the box contained something other than essential oils. It's a bright green box with comments about vaping on the outside....
I don't know if customs will pick up on a huge increase in essential oils. I think the slight increase in eliquid being brought in wont even feature as a blip on the radar at current. There simply arent enough items coming in to detect a trend

Cool. Thanks for the info dev
Yes, the bottom line is you will always run a risk importing e-juices. And if they throw the book at you, you will be in serious trouble. That why I am so grateful that some local vendors are now importing and stocking some really good juices.
White may be the custom boxes. I am still on standard gold offering...
@ShaneW check these pics. Not hard to work out what is inside from the packaging
??
Hahaha. And you were only charged the VAT, no surcharge?
Think I paid about R75, so that would workout to be only VAT this time.
Paid a little more for one of them, so don't know how they worked that out.
My box does say on it that i was an early member - possible because I signed up before it went public I am 'special' which doesnt make sense if we both paid $45 for it
No idea, I'll try and find my box in the bin, maybe there is something on there. Or maybe they just ran out of green boxes
