Questions about E-cigarette device in Turkey
- How many e-cigarette device can I bring into Turkey?
- Turkey allows 1 device per traveller. Above that the goods are treated as an import and duty becomes payable. The allowance is per traveller and cannot be pooled between people.

- Only above the allowance. Up to 1 device there is nothing to declare; beyond it you take the goods through the red channel and pay the duty.
- What happens if I do not declare e-cigarette device in Turkey?
- Under Genelge 2020/7, sayfa 2: the goods are held until you leave the country; the goods are destroyed.
