Import Tips

• Verify product contains nicotine from tobacco and is intended for heated inhalation without combustion to confirm 2404 classification; provide lab analysis if challenged

• Include FDA PMTA documentation or equivalent for tobacco/nicotine products; ensure labeling complies with US retail sale requirements

• Avoid misdeclaration as e-liquid; pods are devices/components, watch for quota restrictions on tobacco-derived items
