No heading in Chapter 24 is cut finer than 2404.

The heading is number 4 of 4 in 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, which runs to 16 six-digit codes in all.

What heading 2404 covers
The Harmonized System is the shared tariff classification that customs offices use around the world. Heading 2404 is the newest kind of entry in Chapter 24 tobacco, built for goods that do not rely on burning.
Think of it as two groups. The first group is made to be inhaled without combustion. Such a product can hold tobacco, reconstituted tobacco, nicotine, or a stand-in for either one. The second group is made to get nicotine into the body in some other way.
A product that is lit and smoked does not belong here. Those goods sit in a sibling heading, covered below.
The six-digit subheadings in plain words
Each six-digit code narrows the heading. The short labels below split them by how the product is used.
- 240411: inhaled goods that have tobacco or reconstituted tobacco in them.
- 240412: inhaled goods that have nicotine but no tobacco.
- 240419: inhaled goods made with a tobacco or nicotine substitute.
- 240491: nicotine taken by mouth.
- 240492: nicotine taken through the skin, such as a patch.
- 240499: nicotine taken by any route that is not inhaled, oral or skin.
How to choose the right 2404 subheading
Go through these questions in order and stop at the first clear answer.
Step one: how is the product used? If you inhale it without burning it, look at 240411, 240412 and 240419. If it puts nicotine into the body another way, look at 240491, 240492 and 240499.
Step two, for inhaled goods: what is inside? Tobacco or reconstituted tobacco points to 240411. A substitute points to 240419.
Step three, for the other goods: what is the route? Mouth points to 240491. Skin points to 240492. Any other route points to 240499.
In these descriptions, n.e.c. means not elsewhere classified. It tells you the product has no more specific home in another heading. If you are still unsure, try the HS code classifier. Also check your own national tariff before you ship.
What is the difference between HS 2403 and 2404?
Heading 2401 is raw tobacco and tobacco waste. Heading 2403 is other processed tobacco and processed substitutes, such as homogenised or reconstituted tobacco and extracts.
So 2403 is mostly about the processed material and its extracts. Heading 2404 is about goods built for inhaling without burning, plus other nicotine delivery products. Reconstituted tobacco shows up in both, so decide by how the final product is used.
