A MELBOURNE-BASED individual has been issued two infringement notices totalling $5,328 by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) in relation to the alleged unlawful importation of nicotine vaping products.
The TGA reported that the unnamed person allegedly imported more than 19kg of nicotine vaping products, that were not listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods.
