PACT Act Compliance Statement

Commitment to PACT Act Compliance

ThinkVapes is dedicated to full compliance with the PACT (Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking) Act, established by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) in 2009. This commitment ensures we adhere to all regulations that govern the sale and distribution of tobacco products, including electronic cigarettes.

Understanding the PACT Act

The PACT Act is designed to prevent the illegal sale and shipment of tobacco products. This includes electronic cigarettes, ensuring these products are not sold or delivered through mail services without proper oversight. The law requires sellers to:

  • Register with the ATF: All businesses selling tobacco products must be registered.
  • Collect State and Local Taxes: Sellers are responsible for collecting applicable taxes.
  • Comply with Shipping and Labeling Requirements: Proper shipping practices and labeling are mandatory to prevent illegal sales.

Our Compliance Measures

  1. Age Verification: ThinkVapes strictly prohibits the sale of our products to individuals under 21 years old. We utilize advanced age verification systems to confirm the age of our customers before completing any sales transaction.

  2. Shipping Restrictions: We do not ship our products to states where they are prohibited by law. Our delivery partners are instructed to verify the age of the recipient and obtain a signature upon delivery, ensuring compliance with PACT Act delivery requirements.

  3. Tax Compliance: ThinkVapes adheres to all state and local tax regulations. We apply the appropriate tax stamps to our products and ensure that all taxes are paid timely, avoiding any discrepancies that could lead to penalties.

  4. Record Keeping and Reporting: We maintain meticulous records of all transactions involving tobacco products and submit monthly reports to the relevant authorities as required by the PACT Act.

Compliance with the PACT Act is crucial for businesses in the tobacco industry to avoid legal consequences, hefty fines, and disruptions in operations. ThinkVapes is committed to following these regulations to demonstrate our dedication to lawful practices and public health safety.
