Chapter 24 classification notes

Chapter 24 attracts heavy excise duty in every destination. Vape products / heated-tobacco devices are now in heading 2404 since the 2022 HS update — significant for tariff classification disputes.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Vape devices / e-cigarettes pre-2022 were variously classified as 8543 (electrical machines) or 9404 (consumer products); the 2022 HS update created heading 2404 specifically.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
