Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 240499 when importing or exporting products containing nicotine that are not intended for inhalation, such as nicotine pouches or lozenges. For example, a shipment of flavored nicotine pouches designed for oral use falls under this code.

This code specifically covers products not classified under inhalation methods, unlike HS-6 240400, which includes products intended for inhalation. If you're dealing with products like nicotine gum or other non-combustible nicotine items, 240499 is the right choice.

Products classified under HS-6 240499 are intended for intake through methods other than inhalation, including oral applications. This can include items like nicotine-infused candies or dissolvable strips that provide nicotine without combustion.
