PACT Act
In December 2020, a congressional amendment to the PACT Act was signed into the law as part of the omnibus spending bill. The effect of this new law broadens the definition of tobacco products to include electronic cigarettes, vapes, eLiquids and vaping accessories. This means that after March 26th online retailers will be required to collect state and local excise taxes on vaping products and require Adult Signature (21+) on all deliveries nationwide. Other compliance requirements include labeling and packaging, record-keeping, and State and Federal registration and reporting.
At Vape Royalty, we are committed and working diligently to ensure that we are in compliance with the PACT Act’s rules and regulations. We will be using a new shipping solution which is in compliance with different state and federal laws. Beginning April 2nd, we will begin transitioning to the new shipping solution which will be available for customers in certain regions of the U.S. The option will be shown at checkout.
All shipments will require an adult signature (21+) with I.D. check upon delivery, according to law. This will incur a $7 fee at checkout. We strongly advise shipping your orders to your place of work.
