HS Code 2404.11 – Products containing tobacco or reconstituted tobacco, intended for inhalation without combustion
HS code 2404.11 is the 6-digit subheading for products containing tobacco or reconstituted tobacco, intended for inhalation without combustion. It is used for heated tobacco sticks, tobacco capsules for vaporizers, heat-not-burn tobacco units, tobacco-containing e-liquids (if for inhalation without combustion) and tobacco-based pods.
What HS 2404.11 covers
This HS code covers products containing tobacco or reconstituted tobacco that are designed for inhalation without combustion, commonly known as heated tobacco products (HTPs). This is a rapidly expanding segment of the tobacco industry, driven by technological innovation and claims of reduced harm compared to traditional cigarettes. International trade involves specialized devices and the tobacco sticks or capsules used with them. Major tobacco companies are key players in both exporting and importing these products, often targeting markets with evolving regulatory landscapes and consumer demand for alternatives. Trade is influenced by product innovation, intellectual property, and varying national regulations on novel tobacco products.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
