About products containing tobacco or reconstituted tobacco, intended for inhalation without combustion

HS code 240411 covers a range of products containing tobacco or reconstituted tobacco, designed for inhalation without combustion. This industry plays a significant role in the global tobacco market, catering to the growing demand for alternative nicotine delivery systems. These products, often referred to as 'heat-not-burn' or 'heated tobacco' devices, have emerged as a potential harm reduction option for smokers seeking to reduce their exposure to the harmful byproducts of traditional cigarette combustion.

Production process

The production of 240411 products typically involves the careful processing and preparation of tobacco or reconstituted tobacco materials. This may include cutting, drying, and blending techniques to achieve the desired characteristics. The tobacco is then incorporated into specialized devices or cartridges, often with the addition of electronic components and heating mechanisms to facilitate the inhalation of the nicotine-containing vapor without actual combustion.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the 240411 industry include high-quality tobacco leaves or reconstituted tobacco materials, as well as specialized electronic components, such as heating elements, batteries, and control systems. Manufacturers may also utilize various additives, flavorings, and other ingredients to enhance the user experience and product characteristics. Additionally, the industry relies on advanced manufacturing equipment and technologies to ensure consistent quality and safety standards.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 240411 industry is the heat-not-burn or heated tobacco products themselves, which are designed to be used as an alternative to traditional combustible cigarettes. These products may be consumed by adult smokers seeking a potentially less harmful nicotine delivery method. The output of the 240411 industry may also be used as an input for related industries, such as 240119 Other tobacco products, 240120 Tobacco extracts and essences, and 851762 Machines and apparatus for the manufacture of tobacco products.
