More than 50,000 marijuana atomisers
US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at Washington IAD seized a large quantity of marijuana atomisers last Wednesday (22 September 2021) that were shipped from China to an address in Manassas, VA.
The shipment initially arrived on 8 September 2021 on a flight from Japan. CBP officers inspected and detained the shipment, which consisted of 63 boxes that contained 50,400 Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) atomisers. An atomiser is the tool that heats the liquid in an electronic nicotine delivery system, or e-cigarette, and draws it into the device’s coil for the user to inhale.
THC atomisers differ slightly from standard vaping atomisers in that they are specifically designed to heat THC liquid. Officers seized the atomisers as an unlawful import of drug paraphernalia. The shipment was assessed at more than USD 131,000. (ah)
