TzuFuma updates e-cig import conditions

COCONUT CR, Fla., March 23, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mobile Media Unlimited Holdings Inc. (Pink Sheets:MMUH) (MMUH) (DE) TzuFuma President Robert Paterson announced today TzuFuma has ceased all United States based distribution of E Cigarette product lines and is no longer seeking United States distribution companies unless they have distribution networks outside America.
Mr. Paterson stated, "Our experience in the United States although profitable is labor intensive and complex. While we believe the American market has the potential to be one the largest markets for a safe cigarette alternative, it is still in its infancy and there are bureaucratic and political barriers which have caused certain shipments (not ours) of E Cigarettes to be seized and barred from entry into the United States. While the overall legality of these seizures may be in question the outcome nevertheless, is still the same, the product can't enter the market and companies can and do suffer severe financial difficulties as a result. We would be neglectful to ourselves and our shareholders if we continued to operate under such circumstances. Our goal will be to re enter the US market with product lines deemed acceptable by the US Governing bodies and we are working diligently toward that goal. In addition our international business continues to grow, the market is gargantuan in overall size with far fewer barriers, more opportunity and quantifiably higher profit margins. To that end, TzuFuma has been working with our manufacturers to design a new fully self contained product line which will revolutionize the E Cigarette business worldwide. We will, of course, keep all concerned informed as to this products rollout."

Perhaps someone can tell me what brand or models of e-cigs they make.
So I will know exactly what it is we here in the States will be missing out on.

Don't know. But it doesn't surprise me. The US is not a target perse, but all the countries with importation bans. I know it is difficult to get product here in Canada because of our restrictions.

This of course is not limited to this vendor/supplier several are doing it. To include and not limited to US vendors. It's just not worth the hassle business wise. In many cases it cost more to staff "returns" than the sale itself.

What are the US importation restrictions if any?

It would appear to me that it is just an attempt to generate interest and possibly demand for a new itteration of one of the mall kiosk type brands.Better get you some before they quit importing them.
