Press Release: Guangdong Qisi Intelligent Manufacturing Co., Ltd. issued a statement on the US House of Representatives investigation
Guangdong Qisi Intelligent Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has noticed the announcement of "Congressman Raja Krishnamurthy's investigation into illegal e-cigarette imports from China" published on the website of the US House of Representatives. We take this seriously and hereby issue the following statement:
As a responsible global enterprise, compliance and integrity are an integral part of our business operations. Qisi Intelligent Manufacturing is firmly committed to complying with all applicable laws and regulations in every market in which we operate.
We are particularly concerned about this investigation because it unfairly targets a large number of companies from China. This raises important questions about ensuring a fair, open and transparent market for all participants.
It is worth noting that GEEK BAR products produced by Qisi Intelligent Manufacturing are currently undergoing the premarket tobacco product application (PMTA) review process of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Despite this, these products were classified as unauthorized and illegal e-cigarettes by the House Special Committee.
The PMTA channel has established market access standards for new tobacco products and has promoted the long-term development of the industry. Qisi Intelligent Manufacturing fully cooperates with the regulatory authorities in rectifying the market order and actively connects with relevant departments.
Chinese companies continue to promote technological innovation and market competitiveness in the field of e-cigarettes and have become an important force in the global e-cigarette market. We sincerely hope that U.S. regulators can recognize the contributions and roles of Chinese companies with an inclusive and equal attitude, and look forward to comprehensive and constructive communication with U.S. authorities to jointly maintain the development, innovation and progress of the industry.
Finally, we reiterate that compliance, fairness and mutual understanding are the key to the long-term development of the industry. Qisi Intelligent Manufacturing will continue to take a responsible attitude and actively cooperate to meet these challenges.
