2404.19.05.00 - Mixtures containing 5 percent or more by weight of one or more aromatic or modified aromatic substances

This HTS category, 2404.19.05.00, specifically classifies mixtures that are intended for use in personal electric or electronic vaporizing devices. A key defining characteristic of these mixtures is that they must contain 5 percent or more by weight of one or more aromatic or modified aromatic substances. These aromatic substances are responsible for imparting specific flavors and aromas to the vapor produced by the device.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 2404.19.10.00, which is designated for "Other" mixtures for personal electric or electronic vaporizing devices. While both fall under the broader umbrella of vaporizing mixtures, the "Other" category likely captures those that do not meet the specific aromatic content threshold of 5 percent or more, or perhaps those with different primary functional ingredients. The presence of specific aromatic compounds at or above the stated percentage is the primary differentiator for classification under 2404.19.05.00.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification under 2404.19.05.00 relies entirely on meeting the specified criteria regarding the presence of aromatic or modified aromatic substances in the mixture intended for e-vaporizers. Importers should carefully analyze the composition of their vaporizing mixtures, focusing on the percentage by weight of any aromatic or modified aromatic components, to ensure accurate classification.
