Enforceable direction: Hwangbo SS Pty Ltd and [REDACTED]

ENFORCEABLE DIRECTION GIVEN TO [REDACTED] AND HWANGBO SS PTY LTD

Under section 42YT of the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989

PART A: Notice of Enforceable Direction

I, [REDACTED], am a delegate of the Secretary of the Australian Department of Health, Disability and Ageing in the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) under section 57(1) of the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 (the Act) and the Therapeutic Goods (Secretary) Delegation 2025.

I believe, on reasonable grounds, that there has been a contravention under sections 41QB and 41QC of the Act in relation to the supply and possession of at least a commercial quantity of vaping goods by Hwangbo SS Pty Ltd and [REDACTED], as follows:

• Hwangbo SS Pty Ltd supplied vaping goods in Australia, in contravention of section 41QB of the Act and possessed at least a commercial quantity of vaping goods, in contravention of section 41QC of the Act.
• [REDACTED], an executive officer of Hwangbo SS Pty Ltd, supplied vaping goods, in contravention of section 41QB of the Act and possessed at least a commercial quantity of vaping goods, in contravention of section 41QC of the Act.

I believe, on reasonable grounds, that it is in the interests of public health or safety to give Hwangbo SS Pty Ltd and [REDACTED] directions under section 42YT, listed in Part D: Direction below.

PART B: Goods

I make this direction in relation to the supply and possession of the vaping goods specified at Attachment A (the Goods).

PART C: Reasons

1. Hwangbo SS Pty Ltd (ACN 674 088 325) is an Australian Private Company.
2. According to the current ASIC business extract, [REDACTED] is the sole director and secretary of Hwangbo SS Pty Ltd.
3. The registered business address for Hwangbo SS Pty Ltd is Unit 7/335 Swanston Street, Melbourne VIC 3000. The Candy Store is located in Unit 7 on the ground floor within a contiguous block spanning 335-347 Swanston Street Melbourne VIC 3000, according to the corresponding subdivision plan. It may be reasonably inferred that the registered business address refers to the same physical location as the Candy Store, which operates at Unit 7/339 Swanston Street Melbourne VIC 3000.
4. Further, the account for the Square Pay terminal in the Candy Store is owned by Hwangbo SS Pty Ltd with the business address listed as 339 Swanston Street Melbourne VIC 3000. This matches the business address of the Candy Store.

Relevant legislation

5. Section 42YT enables the Secretary (or a delegate) to, by written notice, issue certain directions to a person if the Secretary (or delegate) believes, on reasonable grounds, that the person is not complying with the Act or an instrument made under this Act in relation to particular goods and it is in the interest of public health and safety to give the person directions under this section. A person must comply with the directions within a specified period in the notice. Under subsection 42YT(3), this period must be reasonable having regard to the circumstances.
6. A person commits an offence under subsections 41QB(1) or (2) of the Act, or contravenes subsection 41QB(3), if that person supplies vaping goods in Australia and no relevant exception under subsections 41QB(6) to (8) or 41QB(9) to (11) applies. 'Vaping goods' is defined in section 41P of the Act. Among other things, 'vaping goods' means a 'vaping substance', a 'vaping accessory' and a 'vaping device' which are each defined terms in section 41P.
7. A person commits an offence under subsection 41QC(1) or (3) of the Act if that person possesses a quantity of a kind of vaping goods in Australia that is at least the commercial quantity of this kind of vaping goods but less than 100 times that amount. A person contravenes subsection 41QC(10) if the person possesses at least the commercial quantity of a kind of vaping goods. Certain exceptions may apply - these are addressed in subsections 41QC(11A) and 41QC(12) to (14). The 'commercial quantity' of a kind of vaping goods is explained in reg 10N of the Therapeutic Goods Regulations 1990 (Regulations). Relevantly, under reg 10N, the commercial quantity of vaping devices and vaping accessories is 9 vaping devices and 60 vaping accessories respectively.
8. Under section 54B of the Act, an 'executive officer' may be personally liable for the conduct of a body corporate. An executive officer of a body corporate means a person, by whatever name called and whether or not a director of the body, who is concerned in, or takes part in, the management of the body.

Reasons

9. I have reasonable grounds to believe that Hwangbo SS Pty Ltd and [REDACTED] are not complying with sections 41QB and 41QC of the Act because:
   1. I have been provided with several reports from external agencies, including the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency, Victoria Department of Health and Victoria Police, observe that the supply, advertising and possession of vaping goods at the Candy Store has been occurring since at least 25 July 2024.
   2. Following the execution of a search warrant at the Candy Store on 8 August 2025 (TGA Warrant), the TGA seized 749 vaping devices, 73 vaping accessories and one A-frame advertising board, which advertised the sale of vapes at the front of the Candy Store. Investigators also observed multiple vape flavour menus on the premises of the Candy Store.
   3. The vaping devices and vaping accessories seized in accordance with the warrant are 'vaping goods' as defined in section 41P of the Act.
   4. The number of vaping devices and vaping accessories seized from this warrant exceeds the commercial quantity of vaping devices and vaping accessories as defined in regulation 10N of Regulations, being 9 vaping devices and 60 vaping accessories.
   5. Following the TGA Warrant, on 14 October 2025, TGA investigators observed the Candy Store open and supplying vaping goods to customers.
   6. Hwangbo SS Pty Ltd and [REDACTED] are responsible for the unlawful supply and possession of vaping goods in the Candy Store because:
      1. the account for the Square Pay terminal in the Candy Store is owned by Hwangbo SS Pty Ltd with the business address listed as 339 Swanston Street Melbourne VIC 3000. This matches the business address of the Candy Store.
      2. Further the TGA has been advised that the business and lease of the Candy Store currently belongs to [REDACTED] by way of a sublease.
10. I have reasonable grounds to believe that it is necessary in the interests of public health or safety to issue Hwangbo SS Pty Ltd and [REDACTED] with this Enforceable Direction. This is because the location of the Candy Store is on the ground floor of a student accommodation building in a visible and easily accessible area of the Melbourne CBD that experiences high pedestrian traffic, especially by young students. It is very likely that there is a higher demand for vaping goods sold at the Candy Store by young students as well as other passing customers. Further, media reports indicate that the Candy Store has a significant public profile and is well-known in the area. Given the substantial health risks of vaping, especially among young people, ceasing the sale of vaping goods at the Candy Store would be in the interests of maintaining public health or safety.
11. The timeframes for Hwangbo SS Pty Ltd and [REDACTED] to comply with this Enforceable Direction are reasonable having regard to the following circumstances:
    1. Imposing shorter compliance timeframes are reasonable and justified in the circumstances of this case because:
       1. I consider that ceasing supply of vaping goods at the Candy Store may be achieved in the one-hour timeframe as this would only require the Candy Store to be closed.
       2. I consider the surrender of the vaping goods possessed by Hwangbo SS Pty Ltd and [REDACTED] may be achieved in the timeframe specified.
       3. The location of the Candy Store is in a visible and easily accessible area of the Melbourne CBD that experiences high pedestrian traffic, especially by young students. This increases the demand for vaping goods sold at the Candy Store by young students as well as other passing customers.
       4. Media reports indicate that the Candy Store has a significant public profile and is well-known in the area and, as such, is likely to have a broader reach to potential customers beyond the surrounding area in the Melbourne CBD.
       5. As at the date of this Enforceable Direction, the Candy Store continues to sell vaping goods despite being put on notice several times that doing so is unlawful. This includes the continued supply following the execution of the warrant on 8 August 2025 and the letter of intent to issue enforceable and advertising directions on 25 September 2025. This letter provided the opportunity to make submissions as to why an enforceable directions notice should not be issued and required the supply and possession to cease by 3 October 2025. The TGA has not received a response from the entity and the Candy Store was observed to still be active on 14 October 2025. This conduct demonstrates ongoing and deliberate non-compliance with the vaping provisions, summarised above.
    2. However, these timeframes are balanced against the following considerations to ensure that Hwangbo SS Pty Ltd and [REDACTED] are practically able to comply with the directions:
       1. The small size of the store and that it appears there is only a single entryway to and from the store which is partially barred.
       2. Based on the available information, I have considered that there may be few staff present to help comply with the directions. Further, it is possible there is more stock located outside the premises of the Candy Store. I consider the timeframes for the corresponding directions are adequate when balanced with the seriousness of the conduct and ongoing non-compliance as described above, the likely consequences if the directions are not complied with as outlined in subsections 42YT(4) and (5) and any possibility that the review rights available under section 60 of the Act are exercised by Hwangbo SS Pty Ltd and [REDACTED].

PART D: Direction

I DIRECT HWANGBO SS PTY LTD AND [REDACTED] to:

1. Cease supplying the Goods located at the Candy Store within 1 hour of this direction being given;
2. Surrender the Goods located at the Candy Store within 2 hours of this direction being given;
3. Surrender all other unlawful vaping goods within your possession to the TGA by close of business (5pm AEDST) 1 day after the day this direction is given.

To demonstrate that you have complied with the Directions set out above, we request that you email evidence of your compliance to the email address listed on the first page of this Direction. Examples of evidence you can send include:

• A reconciled stock list indicating items that have been surrendered to the TGA
• Photographs or video captures of any warehouse or offsite storage facilities controlled by Hwangbo SS Pty Ltd And [REDACTED] demonstrating compliance

PART E: Other information

This information is for general guidance only. We recommend that you obtain independent legal advice if you have specific concerns.

Effect of not complying with this Direction

If you fail to comply with this notice within the period specified, you will:

1. commit an offence under subsection 42YT(4) of the Act; and
2. contravene a civil penalty provision under subsection 42YT(5) of the Act

which could lead to court action against you. Section 42YT is reproduced at Attachment B to this Notice. Sections 41QB and 41QC of the Act are reproduced at Attachments C and D, respectively.

In conjunction with pursuing civil or criminal court action, the TGA may also seek an injunction from the Federal Court of Australia ordering you to immediately cease your advertising.

The TGA could also issue an infringement notice as an alternative to these actions.

Attachment C - Information about review rights

Request for reconsideration of an initial decision

This decision is a reviewable initial decision under section 60 of the Act. Under section 60, a person whose interests are affected by a 'reviewable' initial decision, can seek reconsideration of the initial decision.

As this document constitutes written notice of the making of an initial decision being given by the Secretary, a request for reconsideration of this initial decision must be given to the Minister within 90 days and be accompanied by any information that you wish to have considered. A request for reconsideration given to the Minister outside the statutory 90 day reconsideration period cannot be accepted.

The Minister may either personally undertake a request for reconsideration of an initial decision or delegate to an officer of the Department with the appropriate delegation.

Under section 60(3A) of the Act, the Minister (or the Minister's delegate) is not able to consider any information provided after the notification is made of a request for reconsideration of an initial decision unless the information is provided in response to a request from the Minister (or the Minister's delegate), or it is information that indicates that the quality, safety or efficacy of the relevant therapeutic goods is unacceptable.

Guidelines for requesting reconsideration of an initial decision

Prior to requesting reconsideration of an initial decision, persons affected by an initial decision are advised to refer to the TGA website for specific information and detailed guidance for making a request for reconsideration.

A request for reconsideration should be made in writing, signed and dated by the person requesting reconsideration, should be titled "<insert person/company name> - Request for Reconsideration Under Section 60 of the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989" and should include the following:

• identify, and describe with as much specificity as possible, which component(s) of the initial decision should be reconsidered and set out the reasons why reconsideration is requested;
• any information/documentation in support of the request, clearly labelled to correspond with (any or each of) the reasons why reconsideration is requested; and
• an email address nominated for the purposes of receiving correspondence in relation to the request for reconsideration.

A list of all attachments in the submission, or a table of contents, would also be appreciated, particularly for requests involving a significant number of supporting materials sent in multiple emails.

All requests for reconsideration should be given to the Minister by email:

Email: 'Minister.Butler.DLO@health.gov.au' and copied to 'decision.review@health.gov.au'

Requests for reconsideration that include material which cannot be attached to a single email, may be submitted under multiple, sequentially numbered emails (e.g. "… - Email 1 of 3", "… - Email 2 of 3" etc). All sequentially numbered emails must be given to the Minister on the same date.

Under section 60 of the Act, the decision upon reconsideration by the Minister (or the Minister's delegate) must be to either 'confirm', 'revoke' or 'revoke and substitute' the initial decision. The Minister (or the Minister's delegate) must give notice in writing of the outcome of the decision upon reconsideration to the person whose interests are affected, within 60 (calendar) days after making a request for reconsideration. If the Minister (or the Minister's delegate) fails to give such notice within 60 days, the Minister (or the Minister's delegate) is deemed to have confirmed the initial decision.

Subject to the Administrative Review Tribunal Act 2024, if you are dissatisfied with the decision upon reconsideration by the Minister (or the Minister's delegate), you can apply to the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART) for a review of that decision upon reconsideration.

NOTE: This initial decision remains in effect unless and until it is revoked or revoked and substituted by the Minister (or the Minister's delegate) as a result of a request for reconsideration under section 60 of the TG Act OR is set aside, varied or remitted by the ART or is otherwise overturned or stayed.
