2404.12.90.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 2404.12.90.00, encompasses "Other" nicotine-containing products intended for the intake of nicotine into the human body, specifically those that are not intended for inhalation without combustion and are not mixtures for personal electric or electronic vaporizing devices. This broad category serves as a residual classification for nicotine products that do not fit into more specific subheadings within Chapter 24. It is crucial for importers and exporters to carefully consider the intended method of nicotine delivery and the specific composition of the product to ensure correct classification.

This "Other" category is distinct from its sibling, "Mixtures for personal electric or electronic vaporizing devices." The latter specifically refers to e-liquids or similar formulations designed to be vaporized by electronic devices. In contrast, 2404.12.90.00 covers a wider array of nicotine delivery systems, which could include, for example, nicotine pouches designed for oral use, or other novel products where nicotine is absorbed through the body but not via inhalation of vapor or smoke, and which are not formulated for electronic vaporizing devices.

As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the primary classification challenge lies in accurately differentiating these "other" nicotine products from the more specifically defined categories within the HTS. Classification will depend on a thorough examination of the product's physical form, intended use, and the absence of characteristics that would place it under other more precisely defined headings within Chapter 24.
