From the outsider's point of view, Yao Jide's work gave him the opportunity to use tobacco first-hand, but from the insider's point of view, this is far from his what he has envisioned.

Invisible Opportunity

 

Back in the second half of 2004, e-cigarettes just came out. At that time, Mr. Yao Jide, the founder of Hangsen Group, was still researching pharmaceuticals in the Yunnan factory. By chance, Yao Jide saw the first-generation e-cigarette brand, Ruyan's products, and felt that it was a promising product with a lot of room for innovation. It happened that a raw material developed by him was extracted from scrap tobacco. At that time, several thousand tons of e-liquids were discarded each year, but these discarded e-liquids were all under the exclusive control of the National Tobacco Monopoly Law. So the factory had the permission to able to purchase large quantities at that time. A raw material for making the required health care products.

 

This is half of the story. "During this process, founder Yao Jide made full use of this waste raw material, and at the same time extracted some flavors and nicotine. So in this case, he was the first to come into contact with the most critical raw material of e-cigarettes. "From the outsider's point of view, Yao Jide's work gave him the opportunity to use tobacco first-hand, but from the insider's point of view, this is far from his what he has envisioned.

 

Quality First, Safety First

 

Today, Hangsen Group’s bottled e-liquid exports are first in volume. Seeing Hangsen Group’s growth step by step, Yao Haoyu shared the company's export experience: "From the feedback of foreign buyers and the market, it is a must to pay attention to product safety. Because of relation to personal health issues, Hangsen Group was the first to make independent compliance model. Hangsen Group has always insisted that quality and safety comes first."

 

National Enterprise, Leading Position

 

Dealing with foreign buyers and customers, and discussing export trade rules, Yao Haoyu can be regarded as an expert in this regard. Hangsen Group has production bases in many countries and regions around the world, including Europe, the United States, and even South Korea something few other companies will do. We are also present in the Americas and Africa. In the production base in Poland, once the production is completed, it can be delivered to customers in EU countries in a timely manner, so as to seize the time limit and greatly improve the transportation efficiency.

 

When asked, the development of Hangsen Group has spread all over the world in 2022, what is the core of future development? Yao Haoyu said in the interview: "Under the supervision of national policies, we operate in compliance with laws and regulations, promote products abroad, and strive for foreign exchange for the country. E-cigarettes is a national industry that is unique to our country. We gained leading position through the efforts of all enterprises, do not let it fall to other countries, this is what we want to do."

Germany Probes 7.6 Million Illegal Vape Case With Estimated €33.3 Million Tax Loss; Four Chinese Manufacturer Employees Under Investigation, Some Packaging in Enforcement Images Resembles FUMOT Products
German prosecutors and customs authorities are conducting a criminal investigation into an alleged cross-border organised vape network. Authorities say that between January 2024 and March 2025, four employees of an unnamed Chinese e-cigarette manufacturer allegedly built a network of sales agents and wholesalers that brought more than 7.6 million nicotine disposable vapes into Germany, causing an estimated €33.3 million in excise-tax losses. The manufacturer has not been named. Some products visible in enforcement images have packaging resembling products from FUMOT’s portfolio. European regulatory records from 2024, FUMOT’s public overseas-sales materials and records involving German vape importer and distribution company Zamu-Pro GmbH also show FUMOT/RandM products and German distribution activity during the period covered by the investigation.

U.S. Customs Plan to Require Foreign Export Declarations Could Deal ‘Devastating’ Blow to China’s Vape Exports, Logistics gl Expert Says
U.S. Customs Plan to Require Foreign Export Declarations Could Deal ‘Devastating’ Blow to China’s Vape Exports, Logistics gl Expert Says
A U.S. Customs and Border Protection proposal to collect foreign export declarations and other overseas customs documents could expose discrepancies in the value, classification and description of China-made vape shipments entering the United States. A veteran Chinese logistics professional told 2Firsts that the measure, if implemented, could undermine the all-inclusive shipping model used by some unauthorized vape exporters and push parts of the trade toward costlier underground channels. The risk extends beyond higher duties: accurately declared products may also be more readily identified as unauthorized e-cigarettes subject to FDA enforcement.

JTI Proposes 25-Cent Irish Cigarette Tax Increase, Says It Could Raise €45 Million
Japan Tobacco International's Irish business has proposed a €0.25 tax increase on a pack of 20 cigarettes in its pre-Budget 2027 submission, below the €0.50-or-more increases typically imposed in recent Irish budgets. JTI says the proposal could generate around €45 million in additional Exchequer revenue while limiting further movement toward illicit and non-Irish-tax-paid tobacco. Revenue's existing estimate for a comparable €0.25 increase, including pro-rata rises on other tobacco products, is about €18 million for a full year.
