The FDA's Center for Tobacco Products regulates electronic cigarettes and similar vaporizing devices. Imported products must have received FDA marketing authorization (e.g., a Premarket Tobacco Product Application approval) or be subject to enforcement discretion; unauthorized products can be refused admission at the US border.
The heading is split at the 10-digit level: line 8543400030 covers personal electric or electronic vaporizing devices containing nicotine substances, while 8543400040 covers other personal vaporizing devices not elsewhere specified. Correct classification depends on whether the device is designed or marketed for use with nicotine-based substances.
