2404.12.10.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, "Other," under "Mixtures for personal electric or electronic vaporizing devices, containing nicotine," encompasses a broad range of vaporizing liquid products that do not fall into more specific sibling categories. It is intended for mixtures formulated for use in e-cigarettes, vape pens, and similar devices, where the nicotine is absorbed into the body through inhalation without combustion. The "Other" designation signifies that these products do not meet the specific criteria of any other subheadings within this particular grouping.

Crucially, this classification distinguishes itself from sibling categories by its residual nature. For instance, it does not include mixtures that specifically contain 5 percent or more by weight of one or more aromatic or modified aromatic substances, which are classified separately under HTS 2404.12.05.00. Therefore, the products classified here are nicotine-containing vaporizing liquids that lack the specific compositional or characteristic features defined in other related subheadings, but are nonetheless intended for inhalation via electronic devices.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. The classification decision for a product falling under 2404.12.10.00 hinges on its intended use (inhalation via electronic devices) and the absence of the specific characteristics that would place it in more narrowly defined categories, such as those involving particular concentrations of aromatic substances. Customs officers will examine the composition and stated purpose of the product to ensure it aligns with this residual classification.
