The PACT Act and What It Means For Our Industry

Important Changes Are Coming

Where Did The PACT Act Come From?

The PACT Act (Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking Act) was originally passed in 2009 to prohibit the use of USPS (United States Postal Service) to deliver combustible cigarettes directly to consumers.

In addition to the ban on USPS shipping, the PACT Act required cigarette manufacturers to register with the ATF, file detailed monthly reports with respective state tobacco tax administrators, obtain customer age verification at purchase, and use a delivery method that requires ID and signature of adult customer.

How is Vaping Affected by The PACT Act?

On December 27th, 2020, buried in the most recent COVID-19 relief bill as part of the “Consolidated Appropriations Act 2021”, Congress amended the PACT Act to include e-cigarettes and all vaping products.

Effective March 28th, 2021, recipients of all vaping product(s) purchased online will be required, by law, to present ID and sign for their delivery. The USPS mail ban on vaping products will go into effect on April 27th, 2021. After this date, customers will no longer be able to receive vaping products by way of USPS delivery.

Unfortunately, UPS and FEDEX have chosen to ban the delivery of all direct-to-consumer vaping products as well. This conclusion was not mandated by the government, but decided by each respective carrier.

FedEx’s vaping product delivery ban: Effective March 1st. 2021
UPS’ vaping product delivery ban: Effective April 5th, 2021
