Identity check: verify the SKU before you compare
Both products carry a SKU that appears on the carton, and SKU verification is the core way to tell them apart in a catalogue that lists many similar cartons. The two records in this comparison are:
- ESSE Lights Super Slim – 1 Carton (10 Packs), SKU SS-303 – the ESSE light-style super slim line, a format the brand is known for in Korean and Asian communities in Australia.
- MEVIUS Lights 8mg – 1 Carton (10 Packs), SKU SS-347 – the MEVIUS light-style 8mg option, from the Japanese brand familiar to buyers of Japanese-market cigarettes.
When you check a carton, match the printed SKU against the listing. If the SKU does not match SS-303 or SS-347, the carton is a different product and the price in this record does not apply to it.
