1. In this Section the term “pellets” means products which have been agglomerated either directly by compression or by the addition of a binder in a proportion not exceeding 3% by weight.
Notes for Chapter 24 — Tobacco and manufactured tobacco substitutes; products, whether or not containing nicotine, intended for inhalation without combustion; other nicotine containing products intended for the intake of nicotine into the human body
Notes
1. This Chapter does not cover medicinal cigarettes (Chapter 30).
2. Any products classifiable in heading 24.04 and any other heading of the Chapter are to be classified in heading 24.04.
3. For the purposes of heading 24.04, the expression “inhalation without combustion” means inhalation through heated delivery or other means, without combustion.
Subheading Note
1. For the purposes of subheading 2403.11, the expression “water pipe tobacco” means tobacco intended for smoking in a water pipe and which consists of a mixture of tobacco and glycerol, whether or not containing aromatic oils and extracts, molasses or sugar, and whether or not flavoured with fruit. However, tobacco-free products intended for smoking in a water pipe are excluded from this subheading.
Corresponding US tariff lines
Six digits are identical worldwide under the HS Convention, so 2404.12 is the same subheading in both schedules. What differs is how each country splits it: below are the 5 US lines under 2404.12.
| US HTS code | Description | General duty |
|---|---|---|
| 2404.12.05.10 | Products intended for inhalation without combustion › Other, containing nicotine › Mixtures for personal electric or electronic vaporizing devices › Mixtures containing 5 percent or more by weight of one or more aromatic or modified aromatic substances › Disposable electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) and similar disposable personal electronic vaporizing devices containing nicotine(kg) | 6.5% |
| 2404.12.05.90 | Products intended for inhalation without combustion › Other, containing nicotine › Mixtures for personal electric or electronic vaporizing devices › Mixtures containing 5 percent or more by weight of one or more aromatic or modified aromatic substances › Other(kg) | 6.5% |
| 2404.12.10.10 | Products intended for inhalation without combustion › Other, containing nicotine › Mixtures for personal electric or electronic vaporizing devices › Other › Disposable electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) and similar disposable personal electronic vaporizing devices containing nicotine(kg) | 5% |
| 2404.12.10.90 | Products intended for inhalation without combustion › Other, containing nicotine › Mixtures for personal electric or electronic vaporizing devices › Other › Other(kg) | 5% |
| 2404.12.90.00 | Products intended for inhalation without combustion › Other, containing nicotine › Other(kg) | 6.5% |
Additional Chapter 99 duties apply to goods of Vietnam
- 9903.02.69 +20% — The duty provided in the applicable subheading + 20%
- 9903.05.84 +12.5% — The duty provided in the applicable subheading + 12.5%
These are added to the General duty above, not in place of it. Whether a given article falls inside their scope — and the exclusion lists — is set out in the U.S. notes to Chapter 99, which are prose and not machine-readable, so this site does not assign them per code. Check the official schedule before quoting a landed cost.

Corresponding Japanese tariff lines
2404.12 is the same subheading in both schedules (six digits are identical worldwide under the HS Convention). Vietnamese goods can enter Japan under four parallel preference routes — the columns below — and the exporter picks whichever C/O gives the better rate.
| Line | Description | MFN | VJEPA | AJCEP | CPTPP | RCEP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2404.12-000 | Other, containing nicotine(KG) | 2.6% | Free | Free | Free | Free |
MFN is the lowest of the schedule's General/Temporary/WTO columns (hover to see all three). The preference columns require the matching certificate of origin; an em dash means that agreement gives no preference for the line.
