Overview

This HTS classification, 8543.40.00.40, pertains to "Other" electronic cigarettes and similar personal electric vaporizing devices. This category specifically captures devices that fall under the broader definition of personal electric vaporizing devices but do not contain substances with nicotine. These items are designed for personal use, utilizing electricity to heat and vaporize a liquid or other substance for inhalation.

It is crucial to distinguish this subcategory from its sibling, 8543.40.00.30, which is designated for electronic cigarettes and similar devices "With substances containing nicotine." Therefore, the primary differentiating factor is the presence or absence of nicotine within the vaporizing substance. If a device is designed for use with nicotine-containing liquids, it would be classified under the sibling category.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. The classification is finalized at this level based on whether the personal electric vaporizing device is intended for use with or is supplied with substances that contain nicotine. Importers must ensure accurate determination of the nicotine content of associated substances to correctly classify these goods.
