About HS Code 240419
This is a broad, residual category for products intended for inhalation without combustion that contain neither tobacco nor nicotine. This includes items like nicotine-free e-liquids, herbal vaporizing blends, and other non-tobacco, non-nicotine inhalable products. The international trade for these goods is smaller compared to tobacco or nicotine-containing products but caters to specific consumer segments. These might include individuals seeking the ritual of vaping without addictive substances, or those using herbal products for recreational or wellness purposes.
