❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How is the duty-free allowance for IQOS and HEETS calculated?
The allowance is typically calculated by count (e.g., 200 cigarettes) or weight (e.g., 250g of loose tobacco). If you carry multiple types of IQOS and HEETS, customs will calculate the total based on proportional conversion. Any excess must be declared at the red channel.
What should I consider when bringing IQOS and HEETS?
The most important thing when bringing IQOS and HEETS is to confirm if it exceeds the duty-free allowance or declaration threshold of your destination. It's recommended to keep purchase receipts and ensure IQOS and HEETS is in its original packaging for easier customs inspection. If the IQOS and HEETS is of high value, always use the red declaration channel.
❓ More Questions
Can I bring my IQOS device to Thailand if I don't bring any HEETS?
No. The Thai ban covers the device itself, not just the tobacco sticks. Even an empty IQOS or glo device in your luggage can be confiscated and can expose you to fines or prosecution. Do not bring any part of the system.
What happens if customs finds my IQOS in Thailand?
At minimum the device and sticks will be confiscated. You may also face a fine of several times the goods' value, and in serious cases prosecution — the law allows prison terms of up to 10 years. Tourists have been detained over heated tobacco, so treat the risk as real.
