How to check before you travel
- Read ANAM’s current list of goods you cannot bring into Mexico.
- If you need the constitutional text, open the January 17, 2025 Diario Oficial decree.
- Leave the device at home. Do not pack it in carry-on or checked luggage for a trip into Mexico.
- If part of your itinerary is a U.S. flight, remember TSA’s carry-on-only screening rule, then still follow the Mexico customs rule: do not bring the device in.
- A Mexico airport layover is unavailable as a reliable uniform exception on this page. Do not assume a connection is exempt.
The legal basics
ANAM’s traveler page, retrieved Nov 10, 2026, lists electronic cigarettes and similar electric or electronic personal vaporizing devices among goods you cannot bring into Mexico. That list also names Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS), similar non-nicotine systems, alternative nicotine consumption systems, and similar devices, including newer heated-tobacco devices.
The decree published in the Diario Oficial de la Federación on January 17, 2025 amends Articles 4 and 5 of Mexico’s constitution. In the official text, the law will sanction activity related to electronic cigarettes, vapes, and similar devices, and it prohibits the profession, industry, domestic or foreign commerce, work, or other activities related to those devices. The decree states that it enters into force the day after publication. This pack cites that decree and the ANAM list only. It does not republish a later implementing-statute inventory, a penalty schedule, or a city-by-city rule.
On U.S. airport screening, TSA allows electronic cigarettes and vaping devices in carry-on bags only, not in checked bags. See also our guides on checked luggage and bringing a vape on a plane. Those U.S. screening rules do not override Mexican customs.
This is not legal advice, and it is not a how-to for getting a device through a border or airport.
