Import Tips

Verify product contains tobacco or nicotine substitutes and is explicitly for non-combustible inhalation to avoid reclassification under 2404.11 or Chapter 85

Include detailed ingredient lists and lab tests confirming no combustion intent; FDA tobacco product registration may be required pre-import

Avoid quota subheadings like 2403; ensure labeling indicates retail packaging without alteration for consumer use
