HS Code 2404.19 – Products containing tobacco or nicotine substitutes, intended for inhalation without combustion
HS code 2404.19 is the 6-digit subheading for products containing tobacco or nicotine substitutes, intended for inhalation without combustion. It is used for nicotine-free e-liquids, herbal vape blends, CBD vape liquids (if for inhalation without combustion), non-nicotine vape pods and aromatherapy inhalers (if fitting the 'substitute' criteria).
What HS 2404.19 covers
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. Exporters and importers navigate a less stringent, but still evolving, regulatory landscape compared to nicotine or tobacco products, though product safety and ingredient transparency remain important considerations.

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).
