This report examines the customs value, tariff revenue, countries of origin, and ports of entry for e-cigarette devices, parts, and liquid imported during those years. GAO analyzed import data for the six statistical reporting numbers for e-cigarettes for calendar years 2016 through 2018. GAO used data that were available in April 2019 from the Interactive Tariff and Trade DataWeb database maintained by US International Trade Commission, which incorporates US trade statistics published by Census.
