Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 240412 when importing or exporting products containing nicotine that are intended for inhalation without combustion, such as e-liquids or vape solutions. These products are often sold in bottles and are used in electronic cigarettes and similar devices.
This code specifically covers nicotine-containing products that do not include tobacco or reconstituted tobacco. For example, if you are shipping a flavored e-liquid that contains nicotine but no tobacco, this is the correct classification. In contrast, HS-6 240410 applies to products that contain reconstituted tobacco.
When dealing with products like nicotine pouches that are intended for inhalation without combustion, this HS-6 is relevant. If your product is a nicotine-infused vaporizer cartridge without any tobacco components, you should classify it under 240412. Be careful not to confuse it with products classified under HS-6 240399, which covers other tobacco products.
Understanding the specific use and composition of your product is crucial for proper classification. If you have a product that contains nicotine but is not intended for combustion, such as a nicotine salt solution, 240412 is the appropriate code.
