Last updated: April 2026 dataChewing tobacco (2403990030), snuff and snuff flour (2403990040), and tobacco extracts and essences are the principal commercial forms under this residual manufactured-tobacco heading, serving both traditional smokeless tobacco markets and the growing nicotine-ingredient sector. India leads US import supply, with the Dominican Republic and Sweden also significant — Sweden's presence reflecting its role as the origin of snus-style oral tobacco products that have gained US market share. FDA regulates all products in this heading as deemed tobacco products, with smokeless tobacco subject to specific warning label mandates under the Tobacco Control Act; snuff and chewing tobacco importers must ensure packaging complies with required rotating health warnings before retail distribution.

The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act mandates specific rotating health warning statements on smokeless tobacco product packaging and advertising. Importers must ensure that snuff (2403990040) and chewing tobacco (2403990030) packaging displays the required warnings in the correct format, size, and rotation before the product enters retail distribution. Non-compliant labeling can result in FDA detention or refusal of entry.
Tobacco extracts and essences are classified under 240399 when they are derived from tobacco and retain the character of a tobacco product. If a preparation is primarily a flavoring agent that happens to contain trace tobacco-derived components, it may instead be classifiable under Chapter 33 (essential oils and resinoids) or Chapter 21 (miscellaneous food preparations). The determining factor is whether the product's essential character is that of a tobacco product or a flavoring, and a binding ruling from CBP is advisable when the composition is ambiguous.
